About Anis Lahlou
Anis was born and raised in Morocco where he was raised speaking Darija (dialectical Moroccan Arabic) and French. In 1988, Anis met his first spiritual guide, Shaykh Nazim of the Naqshbandi Order, who introduced him to the teachings of the Sufi path and imparted some of its inner secrets. In 2006, Anis embraced the Shaddhuli path under the guidance of Sidi Al Jamal, gaining profound insight into Soul Healing. This new knowledge enabled him to assist others in learning how to heal themselves with Divine support. Throughout his spiritual journey, Anis has received numerous transmissions and permission to teach, helping others on their path of healing and enlightenment. From a young age, his intuitive perception and understanding of life were different. Anis is an active member of the South Florida Shaddhuli community, where he continues to serve.
