Sufism

In the name of the Divine, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

Hi everyone, the next gathering will be on next Thursday 25th June, from 7pm -8.30pm .

Sufism is a sensible, useful spiritual practice. It is not a religion, and all are welcome. Please come with an open heart and an open mind.

The way of the Sufi (or Dervish) is an ancient wisdom-teaching tradition. Its roots reach back to the beginnings of human spiritual consciousness. From these origins have grown the studies of psychology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy and other sciences. Yet many imagine that Sufism is a mystical branch of Islam mainly because of poor, academic, and incomplete knowledge of its foundations. It is the pure water of spiritual awareness that runs through all great religions and prophets.

Since its beginnings, Sufism has transmitted the same knowledge of what it means to be a Human Being, acclimating to the time, place, people and language. A traditional but Australian school of Sufism, The Ansari Sufi Order, is now established in Sydney and Melbourne.

Associated with these teachings is healing, counseling, spiritual growth, creativity in music, theater, and other arts; and increasing your learning capacities. You will also learn about the founders of the order, Abdul Qadir al Jilani, Ahmeder Rifai; zikr, ilahi, how to balance your life, and enjoy heart-full companionship, Sufi stories and poems from Rumi, Hafiz and others.
We usually conduct the Sufi Ceremony of Remembrance (Zikr).
Traditional Sufi teaching stories and poetry may be presented. These include works by Rumi, Hafiz and Nasruddin. We’ll discuss the symbols and metaphors used and how Sufi teachings are expressed through art over the centuries.
