Releasing Our Society-Building Power

Learning how to
”raise up vibrant, outward- looking communities…;
bring about spiritual and material progress…;
and contribute to the discourses that influence the direction of that progress.”
~ Universal House of Justice, from 30 December 2021 Letter

Friday September 2 – Monday, September 5, 2022

Location: La Foret Conference and Retreat Center, Black Forest, CO

RATES & FACILITY INFO

Register Now!

Bahá’u’lláh states that “the purpose for which mortal men have, from utter nothingness, stepped into the realm of being, is that they may work for the betterment of the world and live together in concord and harmony.” 

Building a society that consciously pursues this collective purpose is the work of not only this generation, but of many generations to come, and Bahá’u’lláh’s followers welcome all who labour alongside them in this undertaking. It means learning how to raise up vibrant, outward- looking communities; it means those communities learning how to bring about spiritual and material progress; it means learning how to contribute to the discourses that influence the direction of that progress.

The Baha’i schools are open to everyone. Families of those attending children’s classes, Junior Youth Groups, devotions and study circles are especially encouraged to attend this community-building weekend!

Summer School 2021: Inheritors of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s Mission

  By

“We, the children of the Master, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, are the inheritors of His mission. What remains for us is to do our part, to exert every effort to share the divine message with our fellow citizens and to invite them to join hearts and hands with us in the glorious work of reconstructing society to a new design founded in spiritual truth.”

June 3, 2021 NSA Call to Action

The Colorado East Baha’i School invites your community, family, study circle, Junior Youth group, and/or children’s class to join an exciting month-long immersion into the life of ‘Abdu’l-Baha and his example of race amity, during this Holy Year.

  • Curriculum for all ages provided upon registration, including resources and art ideas.
  • You are invited to set aside or supplement your existing curriculum or group for four weeks. (For example, a study group may devote 30-60 minutes each week to this study, a children’s class may use this curriculum in lieu of their normal lesson plans, or a new group of friends may gather weekly to study the lessons together.)
  • Friends and families are encouraged to create groups for this study, coming together once a week for the month.
  • Virtual or in-person study – whatever is best for your group!
  • Work through the material at your own pace.

Mid-August to mid-September STUDY – Community, small group or family study of the provided material, including delving into stories of ‘Abdu’l-Baha and his work on Race Unity in America.

September 25 CELEBRATION and COMMUNITY GATHERINGS: Join us for a special day of celebration, coinciding with the anniversary of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s visit to Denver in 1912. Gather with your group or community virtually or in-person, and join the statewide Zoom celebration. See the tentative schedule & details here.

Community Visits: During the September 25th festivities, there will be opportunities for virtual “community visits” with each other. We encourage you, your family, study group, children’s class, or JY group to sign up to host a virtual community visit! Multiple community rooms will be hosted at the same time, allowing us all to visit, share our learnings & art, and socialize with others from around the state.

REGISTER NOW (FREE!)

We recognize this is not our traditional Summer School but invite you to join us on this path of discovering new ways to collaborate, learn, teach and strengthen our bonds of love.

Ahead of you lie times of trial and promise, of hardship and progress, of anguish and joy. Under all conditions, the Master is your solace and support. For those who aspire to lasting change, His example guides the way—tactful and wise in His approach, penetrating in utterance, indiscriminating in fellowship, unfailing in sympathy for the downtrodden, courageous in conduct, persevering in action, imperturbable in the face of tests, unwavering in his keen sense of justice. And to all who arise to emulate Him, He offers this unfailing assurance: “That which is confirmed is the oneness of the world of humanity. Every soul who serveth this oneness will undoubtedly be assisted and confirmed.”
