Reflections on a Year of Transformation

It was just one year ago that I was stunned to hear that our national organization was in grave financial trouble. The Shadhiliyya Sufi Center Board invited everyone t

“By Allah’s grace, many people…stepped forward to offer their assistance, ideas and vision. As a result, we are now in a very different place financially, organizationally and spiritually.”

o a series of national meetings (conference calls) to explain the situation and ask for help. By Allah’s grace, many people, including myself, stepped forward to offer their assista nce, ideas and vision. As a result, we are now in a very different place financially, organizationally and spiritually. While there is still a lot to do to implement the changes which have been put in motion, there is also much more hope and movement forward into a new way of working together to fulfill our vision. Things that have felt stuck are beginning to un-stick. Things that have felt hidden are becoming transparent. Things that have felt constrained are becoming free. Truly Allah is oft-returning to give us so many chances to get this right!

About our Community

Most of our local communities offer teachings and spiritual practices designed to purify our hearts so that we can be better vessels of love and service to our brothers and sisters everywhere.

In addition, we have been very blessed to have our Guide visit us annually for several years and we gather in larger communities or “Sufi Schools” to experience his presence directly, receive his teachings, and share loving fellowship.

We warmly welcome newcomers to both our smaller community gatherings and our larger regional Sufi Schools. We hope that if you are nearby, you will visit us soon. In the meantime, please enjoy your exploration of these pages and feel free to contact us with any questions. We’re eager to hear from you.
