Embark on a Transformative Journey: The Dawn-Breakers Challenge Returns on November 1, 2024!
We are thrilled to announce the return of the highly acclaimed “Dawn-Breakers Challenge” program, set to take place from November 1 to November 9, 2024, at the Desert Rose Baha”i Institute (DRBI) in Eloy, Arizona. This immersive 8-day retreat, facilitated by Chad Jones, offers a unique opportunity to delve deep into the pages of Nabil”s immortal history, The Dawn-Breakers, a book that the Guardian considered one of our greatest weapons in developing Baha”i identity and combating the false materialistic identities prevalent in today”s society.
What to Expect
The “Dawn-Breakers Challenge” is an intensive program designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the book”s content. Through engaging discussions, character introductions, timeline reviews, and historical and geographical explanations, attendees will gain a profound appreciation for the sacrifices and heroism of the early believers.
The Guardian emphasized that “every Baha”i should master these books and be able to explain their contents to others.” Join us as we rise to this challenge and embark on a transformative journey of learning and spiritual growth.
