Love Has a Home will host “Unite in the Light: Become a Sanctuary of Peace” with keynote speakers Sufi Mystic Sheikha Maryam Kabeer and Ahamad Muhaiyaddeen (Jonathon Granoff) on Saturday and Sunday, July 27-28.

Over the two days, Kabeer and Muhaiyaddeen will host meditations and open conversations about finding peace within at the scenic Sticks and Stones Farm, 197 Huntingtown Road. They will be joined by Bruce Nichols, a Dharma teacher, and Mark Romano, a naturopathic physician.

The farm is home to a few organizations, one of them being Love Has a Home, the sponsor of this event. The tickets are by donation, and those donations help Love Has a Home continue to bring these enlightening events to the community.

Rev Bill Donaldson, founder of Love Has a Home, said, “[we] just want to make it very accessible. It’s bring your own lunch, so we’re keeping the cost down, not charging for anything.”

Though the event is being presented by spiritual leaders, it is not focused on religion. The event is about “the ability to have the connection [to others] … I’m looking forward to hearing from our speakers, their experiences and wisdom that they’re accumulated over a lifetime of spiritual seeking [and] bringing all these lessons to us. I think there’s going to be a lot of gems that we can take with us,” Donaldson shared.

“My hope is that people leave [the event] a little bit, you know, more light … like a higher vibration … and then they take it out into the world,” Donaldson explained.

“Unite in the Light: Become a Sanctuary of Peace” will run from 10 am-5 pm on Saturday, and 10 am-3 pm on Sunday. For more information and to register for the event, go to sticksandstonesfarm.com/events/unite-in-the-light-become-a-sanctuary-of-peace.
