Take your first steps on the journey towards greater intimacy with God
Beginning Steps
If you are new to Sufism (or this particular flavor of Sufism) then know that every word, every image, every piece of content in this section has been crafted especially for you. Sidi used to always say to be like the bee and drink deeply from the nectar, the sweetness, within the practices, teachings, and healings. As you approach this section, begin where it feels most natural for you and proceed as you feel guided, allowing yourself to receive the beauty and flavor of each offering. Each is a possibility, a means for you to connect with Beloved (God). Once you have tasted from the offerings here, continue exploring the site to see what other possibilities await…
