About This Retreat
The Peace Center created a longer journey through Turkey based around the Path of Love and the spiritual heritage of Rumi and Shams.
This retreat combines inner exploration, wellness, meditation, breathwork, yoga and cultural travel. Participants travel through some of Turkey's most important historical and cultural destinations while exploring themes connected with love, spirituality, transformation and Sufi traditions.
Why This Journey?
The journey begins in Istanbul with an exploration of the old city and visits to major landmarks such as Galata Tower and Dolmabahçe Palace, together with a cruise on the Bosphorus.
It then continues through different regions of Turkey, including Troy, Pamukkale, Bodrum, Göbekli Tepe, Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary, combining historical sites with cultural and spiritual experiences.
Konya is one of the most important stages of the retreat because of its connection with Rumi and the Mevlevi tradition. Here participants explore the story of Rumi and Shams and the idea of the Path of Love, before the journey continues to Cappadocia.
