The Way of Oneness – Weekend Foundation Course

Beshara School at the Chisholme Institute, Roberton, Hawick, TD9 7PH
Beshara School

 

'

The essential is not to falter from one’s own essence which is The Essence'
Bulent Rauf from The Essential

 

You will be amazed how far and how deep you can travel in just two days – if you want to find a new direction to your life, or simply need some quiet time away from it all - a short retreat offering a taste of what it means to understand your ‘self’ from a point of one-ness.

The weekend is an excellent introduction to the Beshara School: you will study and discuss poems and writings of Rumi and Ibn ‘Arabi, as well as papers written specially for the School, and join in a programme of meditation, conversation and work.

As each person is unique, so each course comprises different ingredients, and no two courses are ever the same. Study materials are chosen according to the themes and questions that arise from you and your fellow students.

Accommodation and Timing: The course is fully residential. More about student facilities

It starts at supper time (7pm) on Friday evening and runs until Sunday after lunch (about 2pm).

The location is Chisholme House, a beautiful, secluded estate on the edge of open moorland, deep in the hills of the Scottish Borders. It is roughly an hour’s drive from Edinburgh, Newcastle and Carlisle, with a regular bus service from Edinburgh and Carlisle to Hawick, the nearest town.

How to get there...

Cost: £110 including full board and lodging for two nights.

Note on course fees: There are no standard concessions offered on most courses, because the fees are already kept as low as possible. However, we do try to ensure the courses are accessible to those on low incomes, so please write to secretary@beshara.org to enquire about bursary possibilities if you would find the cost of a course prohibitive.

To Book: Click on the 'Book your place' box at the top of this page. Alternatively, please write to secretary@beshara.org, or call +44 (0)1450 880215. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
