Since March 2011 the launch of the Muslim for a Month program in Istanbul has attracted lots of attention in the world's media (see links below). The combination of cultural tourism, spiritual development and genuine immersion into Islam seems to have struck a chord with many people. The response has been overwhelmingly positive with the feeling being that the program comes at a timely moment. Relations between Muslims and non-Muslims are at a critical point and this endeavour of building bridges of understanding through shared authentic experience can be a thread in the tapestry of a more peaceful future.
Blood foundation, the operator of the program together with the local Turkish hosts are offering a very special introductory offer for those 'early birds' who wish to come on the June program. This program begins June 12 through to June 21. The normal retail price of $990 has been discounted by 50% for those booking the June program only. Booking must be completed by the end of May. This means guests are paying only $495 which is below cost price for this 9-day program which includes even the return flight to Rumi's hometown of Konya as well as all accommodation, all catering, transfers, entrance fees, daytrips, Bosporus Cruise and much more. For a full list of inclusions and for booking please go to the Exporations 9-day program page. Do hurry as space in the Sufi lodge is limited.
Come, engage and discover one of the world's great faiths in one of the world's great cities.
