Pearls don’t lie on the seashore.
If you want one,
You must dive for it.

The individual retreat is for those who already are familiar with spiritual practises. The retreatant retires from the world, remains in silence, meditates, gets in deep contact with nature including his/her own nature.
An individual retreat, especially in a powerful nature environment,
is a unique opportunity for deep personal transformation.
Ideally, as the alchemical retreat process unfolds, the retreatant passes through different stages: the stage of dissolving (awakening beyond the world) and the stage of rebirth (awakening in the world).
Sufi retreats include the possibility to be guided by a retreat guide. Our guides have undergone intense training in the Esoteric School of the Sufi Inayatiyya, the focus of the training is on allowing one’s intuition to mature.
For a certain time each day retreat guide and retreatant sit and meditate silently together and the guide suggests exercises which match the retreatant’s inner being and qualities as well as the stage of the retreat process. The retreat guide leads the retreatant consciously and conscientiously through this unique process.
Besides the daily face-to-face meetings we will offer morning meditation sessions and evening attunements.
Cala Jami is situated in the North-Eastern part of Sardinia, there are some marvellous beaches nearby (walking distance 1 hour, by car 10 minutes). We will offer daily rides to a beautiful beach where you can swim, relax and meditate.
Ideally a retreat brings fresh energy and inspiration for your regular spiritual practice at home. New perspectives, qualities and possibilities may unfold in your life.

Faz ́l Hermann Stein has accompanied individuals on retreat, on their spiritual journey, and also in daily life for many years. What influenced him profoundly is the Sufi path, especially the teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan. Some years ago, Faz’l became a Senior Teacher, Retreat Guide and Representative in the Inayati Order. His main focus is on supporting all those interested in connecting with their heart and the peace and happiness which is the essential nature of all beings.
Additionally, he is an environmental activist, yoga teacher, coach for breathwork, fasting and nutrition, a baker and a founding member of an organic, plastic-free, wholegrain noodle and bread company. He sees himself as a craftsman on all levels. seinserfahrung@gmail.com
Roshan, founder of Cala Jami and current president of SUFI EARTH SPIRIT, has taught meditation for 30 years. As a young woman she studied meditation for ten years under the guidance of an Indian master, then on the Sufi path, enjoying the teachings of Pir Vilayat and Pir Zia Inayat Khan, Munir Voss, Safi Nidiaye and others. She is representative and retreat guide in the Inayati Order, the Sufi path of spiritual liberty. Roshan practises the “Keys to the Heart” method developed by Safi Nidiaye, a stupendously simple and effective way of releasing banished emotions.
For many years she lived a very simple life in the unspoiled nature of Sardinia, formerly as a goatherd, organic gardener and mother. Today, already a happy grandmother, she still is deeply in love with Sardinia and its unspoiled nature.
“The most meaningful experiences of my life were during Sufi retreats in nature. Retreat and nature – a perfect couple.”
