We warmly invite you to join us for Whispers from the Heart, an in-person Tamarkoz® retreat held in the tranquil embrace of Northern California’s redwoods, at the peaceful Ralston White Retreat Center. This three-night Sufi meditation retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise of daily life and attune to the gentle, guiding voice within.

Through heart-centered Tamarkoz meditation, mindful movement, and soulful workshops rooted in Sufi teachings, you’ll be guided inward—toward presence, peace, and deeper self-awareness. Each experience is thoughtfully designed to help you reconnect with your inner source and the quiet wisdom of the heart.

Evenings will offer deeply nourishing meditative practices and Sufi Zikr, drawing us into a shared space of unity and spiritual resonance. Whether you are just beginning your path or have been walking it for years, this retreat welcomes all who are called to listen more deeply and live more fully from the heart.

A detailed retreat agenda will be provided upon arrival.

Following the retreat’s conclusion on Sunday morning, guests are invited to visit the beautiful Memorial Building at Valley Memorial Park in Novato—a stunning reflection of Sufi architecture—honoring Hazrat Shah Maghsoud Sadegh Angha, the 41st Sufi Master of the Maktab Tarighat Oveyssi (MTO) Shahmaghsoudi® School of Islamic Sufism®.
