We are a diverse community of heart-centered, spiritual people who support one another through learning, practicing, and service together. We aspire to be humble, sincere, honest, generous seekers of truth, and most of all we are lovers who seek peace and wisdom through cultivating an intimate connection with God.
We are healers, teachers, farmers, business people, peacemakers, business owners, mothers, fathers, and children. We come in all colors, social classes, and cultures. We are mostly from North America with some in Mexico and the U.K., as well as a growing list of other countries. We have a strong connection to the Holy City of Jerusalem, which was the home of our guide, Sidi.

Meet a Real Sufi: Sidi Muhammad al-Jamal ar-Rifa`i ash-Shadhili
In Sufism there is an understanding that a Sufi is someone who has not only traveled the path, but has gone through the fana’ and baqa’. The videos below were made many years ago by our beloved brother Salih Kent and they still carry Sidi’s fragrance. We hope you resonate with them as much as we do, insha’allah.
