Report of the Santo Domingo Seminar, January 15-26, 2003

A seminar led by Jose Reyes and Wim van Dullemen

What happens if a martial arts specialist and a pianist organize a Movements seminar? You get the perfect mixture, of emotional subtlety and disciplined directness.
The Santo Domingo seminar is an annual event of the Dominican group, open to the international community. It happens every year around the 20th of January and it lasts for nine days.
There were around 70 people from many different countries. The seminar was centered on group work and included Movements, morning exercise, Zikr, small-scale group activities, readings and practical work. The aim of the event was to bring all participants to a three-centers balanced state, and to establish a harmonious state within the group. The level of experience with Movements and the Work varied from none to 35 years. But in spite of all differences, the daily Sufi exercise of the Zikr made it clear in everyone’s heart that we are all one, beggars, who are trying to allow the love of God to enter our lives.
