Faiths & Paths in Glastonbury: Sufism

Sufi
Sufism is a contemporary expression of a perennial wisdom that leads to direct experience of Divine Reality. The various Sufi Orders (Tariqas), represent different chains of transmission (Silsila) passed down through theTeacher (Sheikh).The word 'Sufi' comes from the Arabic 'suf' meaning wool. A devotional, philosophy of the heart, Sufism is 'the way of the mystic'. To be a Sufi is to be 'lost in the company of those lost in God', when ones heart has become as warm and soft as wool.

Dances of Universal Peace

The Dances of Universal Peace were brought together in the late 1960's by Samuel L. Lewis (1896-1971), a Sufi Murshid (teacher) and Rinzai Zen Master, who also studied deeply in the mystical traditions of Hinduism, Judaism, and Christianity. In this creation, Lewis was deeply influenced by his contact and spiritual apprenticeship with two people -Hazrat Inayat Khan, who first brought the message of universal Sufism to the West in 1910 and Ruth St. Denis, a feminist pioneer in the modern dance movement in America and Europe.
