The Deep Love: The Heart of Sidi's Message
2026 International Gathering October 15-19, Fort Lauderdale, FL
Our teacher, Shaykh Sidi Muhammad Al-Jamal Ar-Rifai Ash-Shadhdhuli, taught us about a love that reaches out to the aspirant wherever they are, but does not allow them to stop anywhere.
Love which accepts all comers in all stations, but always pulls us deeper towards the Truth.
Join us for four days of rich practice, teachings, worship, community connection, and joy. Come, let’s take a drink.

Biografía/ Bio
Soy médica, especialista en piel. Elegí la dermatología porque me permite estar cerca de las personas en un lugar muy concreto del cuerpo, pero también muy simbólico: la piel, la frontera entre lo que mostramos y lo que somos.
Hace años tomé la promesa sufí con Sidi, quien me dio el nombre de Mahabba, y desde entonces trato de que esa entrega guíe también mi trabajo como médica: llevar en el corazón la compasión, no sólo como un valor abstracto, sino como una forma concreta de tratar a cada paciente que llega a mi consultorio.
Hoy busco que esas dos dimensiones de mi vida —la ciencia y el camino espiritual— no estén separadas, sino que se sostengan una a la otra.
Additional Case Study Class announced for
Becoming Trauma Informed with Rifqa Bolliger
Sponsored by SSC and the Jami’ Initiative
Anyone who works with people–especially in the healing/ helping/ teaching/ caregiving/ peacemaking arenas–will run into trauma.
But what is trauma? How do we recognize it? Is it the same or different from other forms of distress – and does that matter? What should we do when it arises – when someone in our care, or a fellow community member, suddenly shuts down? an interaction goes off the deep end, seemingly out of nowhere? when someone is upset beyond what the immediate situation would typically evoke?
This 2-part class will:
- give attendees a basic foundation for recognizing and understanding trauma as it plays out within the body, emotions, thoughts and observable behaviors
- address what kinds of actions can help or hinder, when unresolved, historic trauma, or in-the-moment threat responses arise
- examine the role that Sufi spiritual-, and other similar practices play in developing resilience and promoting recovery
- provide strategies for managing traumatic activation, in the moment
- help us become more aware of how trauma may be showing up within our own experience
