(We emphasize one of the Signs in
The Greatest Sign
each year. This year it is the Fourth Seal, Surrendering and
Submission, the
message brought by Muhammad and Islam.) Join
Us In Albuquerque,
New Mexico, USA,
(you have to apply and be approved to attend the
Feast) or online
through
Paltalk!
The
Feast begins at sunset on Wednesday September 18, 2013 (Maya 15, 011996
MC), and finishes the evening of Thursday September 26,
2013 (Maya 22, 011996 MC). Most participants leave the next
day.
Adults:
$995, or $295 if less than ten people (see
below)
Children:
ages 5 to 12: $595, or $95 if less than ten people (see
below)
ages 0 to 5: Free
Note: We normally have the Feast in the
Mission Center, which
is a regular house. Therefore, we can
usually only accept ten (10) people for the Feast (city ordinance
restrictions). Since the Center, at this junction, is also our
house, these ten people are selected mostly by invitation, and are people who
have been in the Mission for years and are well-known to us.
However, these restrictions (the ten person limit, and only inviting
certain people) can be lifted if many people sign up and we determine that
we can rent a place that can accommodate more than ten people.
If this happens, the added expenses would have to be shared by
everyone. We have estimated that the cost is $995 per person.
The Feast would be held in a beautiful place, and the price would
include all activities, meals, and lodging (attendees would still
have to arrange and pay for their own transportation to come to the
Feast).
If the number of people attending is less than ten, and we have the
Feast in the Center, the price would be reduced to $295. This
would cover activities and meals, but attendees would have to
arrange and pay for their own lodging (ask us for a list of
motels in the area, if you need one) and for all transportation
costs (booking a flight, from the airport to lodging, from lodging
to the Center and back, etc.).
To be prepared for the possibility that we rent a location for the
Feast, all attendees must pay the higher price ($995) up front.
If we end up having the Feast in the Center, attendees will be
refunded the difference in price ($995 - $295 = $700 refund).

Plan to arrive early the first day! Registration will be from

than 5:00 PM, please let us know in advance. The Feast will
officially start when we welcome everyone to the Feast on the
evening of Wednesday September 18, 2013 (the beginning of Maya 15, 011996 MC).
This welcome announcement is broadcast over the Internet in our
Paltalk room.
Maitreya may be available in
this room a few times during the week and may also give Discourses (Satsangs) a few nights. For more information,
