42nd Annual Spring Ozark Sufi Camp
“Interbeing in Love”
Thursday, May 23 through Tuesday, May 28, 2024
Registration is now open for Spring Ozark Sufi Camp! The theme is “Interbeing In Love”, as we explore our state of Interbeing with all of Creation from a place of Love… with appreciation, gratitude, compassion, and reciprocity. This year’s camp begins on Thursday, May 23, and runs through Tuesday, May 28, 2024. (Note the new dates, due to Park Service needs.) Click on the menu icon in the upper right corner of this page for more information and online registration.
Our special guest teachers will be Murshida Darvesha, coming to us from the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico, and Sheikh Arjun Jorge Calero, founder of the Atlantida Ecovillage in Colombia, South America.
Malika Elena Salazar, also from Colombia, will lead us in her beautiful Dances of Universal Peace. Special guests Moksha Sommer and Jemal Wade Hines of Hu Dost will add their musical talents to our gathering, and Munira Reed will join Malika Elena to offer a pre-camp program on Thursday afternoon.
Firdousi Wyrick will lead his traditional Memorial Day Zikr of Remembrance on Monday evening. Murshids Allaudin Ottinger and Rahima Sweeney will also offer guidance, along with many other Beloveds in our community. Our wonderful children’s program with “Puppet Lady” Joanne McMillan and Lori Thweatt will be back at Kids’ Camp, of course. Friday evening Shabbat, Sunday “Sweat Your Prayers” and Universal Worship, Tea Ceremony, Shared Presence, Kirtan, Bazaar, and so much more will be on offer.
This will be a wonderful camp, and we expect it to fill up. So, if you plan to come, please do not delay! Note that scholarships are available for camp staff and for families!
We look forward to seeing you there!
Much Love, Malika Lyon – Spiritual Director

Please note that camp begins and ends one day earlier than in past years to accommodate another group scheduled to arrive the day after we leave. This year, “staff day” will be Wednesday, May 22, 2024.
