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, 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.
Photos & Videos
We have a photo gallery and videos of some community members introducing themselves below. We hope this gives you a taste of who we are. (If you’d like us to add some of your photos, send them to share@suficommunities.org.)
Meet Some Aspiring Sufis
Meet a Real Sufi
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 only person in our community that everyone agrees is a Sufi is our beloved guide, Sidi Muhammad al-Jamal ar-Rifa’i ash-Shadhili.
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.
