THE DOVES’ NEST

CONGRESSES & WEEKENDS

The Doves Nest is open at certain periods throughout the year when we can come together to experience, learn and practise the collective way of life recommended by Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov. This includes sunrise meditations, singing sacred songs, eating together in silence, collective spiritual and physical work and listening to recorded lectures given by the master. To fully experience this teaching you are encouraged to come for at least a few days.

It is important to have read some books of Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov’s teaching and to know some of the methods he gave before coming to a congress for the first time. We refer you to A New Earth (Vol.13) and Yoga of Nutrition (204) for details of the methods.For the dates of congresses and meetings see above.

If you would like to attend a residential congress or Sunday meeting, please book at least three days in advance.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS JANUARY 2012 to SEPTEMBER 2012

For a few minutes every day try to reach an inner state of silence, a vibrant, living silence in which your soul and spirit are free to speak to their Creator. If you practise this form of concentration regularly you will gradually escape - if only for a few minutes at a time - from the mediocrities of everyday life, and the habit will stand you in good stead in moments of difficulty.’
Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
