This is the first Sufi group I joined in 1972. Click the link for the whole article.
We begin this issue with an acknowledgement of our roots.
“Water the roots!” Murshida Sitara told us — so in honor of the 10th anniversary of Murshida’s passing, we begin with three iconic texts that give a sense of the depth of those roots: Inayat Khan speaking about the Message, Fazal Inayat Khan on the Qalandar, and a tribute to Murshida Sitara by Mehera Bakker.
o Welcome to the first issue of Fresh Rain!
Fresh Rain is a quarterly e-journal of the Open Path / Sufi Way. Here you’ll find
short essays, poetry, stories, aphorisms, and quotes from teachers, students, and other friends on this open path we share, along with a calendar of upcoming programs and activities, news of what’s been happening, and biographical sketches of students of the Sufi Way.

We hope this will be a lively place where we meet, share, and grow together. Future issues will be edited by Amrita Skye Blaine; if you would like to submit writings for possible inclusion in Fresh Rain, please send them to freshrain@sufiway.org.
