The European Sufi Summer School

is open to all. It is rooted in an open spiritual tradition of the ancient Chistia lineage of Sufism. Our transmission (ruhaniyya) is through Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan, Murshid Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti (Samuel L.Lewis) and Murshid Moineddin Jablonski. Threads of their individual spiritual practice also include Zen Buddhism, mystical Christianity, Bhakti and Advaita Yoga, and Kaballah.

The Summer School is staffed by dedicated students connected in various ways to and through this line of spiritual transmission. It is not legally or financially connected with any other Sufi corporation, organisation or project.

We emphasize teaching “in the footsteps of” our spiritual ancestors with language and practice adapted to the current challenges of humanity and the planet as a whole. No prior experience is necessary except a heart open to wisdom from the world’s many traditions.

Our aim is to nurture a community of seekers–and finders!–from across Europe and the rest of the world. You are welcome to join us!

All classes are conducted in English and German.

Our Summer School celebrates the living way of the many paths of the heart. Those include  Sufi dhikr (Remembrance), sitting and walking meditation, body prayer, times of silence, healing, spiritual music, Soulwork and Spiritual Psychology, art and Dances of Universal Peace.

We offer a range of classes, all focused toward present-day challenges, personally and globally. The day at the summer school begins with an all-school class, and then multiple classes are offered throughout the day. In the evening, we join together again for shared practice, Dances of Universal Peace, meditation, and wisdom stories, usually from the Sufi tradition.

The meditative walks of Murshid Samuel Lewis are a virtually untapped treasure about the truth of where each of us is right now, as doorways to Unity. His dances, inspired through vision and dream, offer the possibility to experience meditation in movement, and stillness in motion.

Participation in all classes is optional.
