Transforming Social Existence

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 January 6 – Sunday, January 8, 2023

Location: YMCA of the Rockies, Estes Park, CO
2515 Tunnel Rd, Estes Park, CO 80511

RATES & FACILITY INFO

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!
