Dear friends,
It is with great excitement that we announce the upcoming Pearls of Wisdom Intensive Institute Campaign taking place on February 13th and 14th and February 20th and 21st. These intensive campaigns, as many of you know, are a great opportunity for individuals to participate in the study of the institute courses, thereby increasing their capacity as teachers shouldering the work of the Cause. Many of you may remember the words of the Universal House of Justice in the December 27 2005 message, stating that "experience suggests that the more closely teaching approaches and methods are aligned with the capacity acquired from the study of the institute courses the more rewarding the results."
All friends wishing to complete any of the Ruhi books will meet in one central location (to be announced) for prayers, will then break off into their separate study circles, and carry out the practices of the books in order to develop habits and skills for teaching.
We are hoping to offer all of the books in the sequence, although this will largely depend on the number of friends wishing to participate. Books 1, 2 and 3 will likely be finished over the course of a weekend, while books 4-7 will require the full two weekends.
This is also a great opportunity to invite seekers and friends that you have recently made to study the institute courses and to begin their path of service.
For planning purposes (food, space, practices), please let us know if you wish to attend no later than February 6th. Late entries are still welcome.
To confirm your attendance, or for further details, please contact Sara Rohani at 519-709-0957 (or sara.rohani9@gmail.com) or Matt Kianfar at 519-777-9538 (or kianfarm7@gmail.com).
Warmest love,

Dearest friends,
Plans for the upcoming Pearls of Wisdom Campaign are becoming clearer and we wanted to share further details with you.
The days will begin at 8:30 am with prayers and songs. Study will begin at 9 am and the days will end at 9 pm on Saturdays, and earlier on Sundays. With this time, we will be able to complete the books and give due attention to all of the components - the practices, the arts, and breaks according to the needs of each group - in order to thoroughly develop skills.
It will be a wonderful opportunity to come together to study, discuss, serve and participate in artistic endeavors in a serious and uplifting atmosphere. These weekends are truly special in that we can spend all of our time with our hearts and thoughts centered around service to the Cause with a group of friends.
If you have any concerns or need assistance of any kind to allow you to participate in this training, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would be delighted to do our best to help with any necessary arrangements, be it childcare, directions, transportation, etc.
As well, if there are friends who are able to support the campaign by providing food or rides, please let us know.
Warmest love,
Matt, Sara and Diana
