I am a spiritual guide in the Sufi tradition and a “lineage-holder” in the Sufi school brought to the West in the early part of the 20th Century by Hazrat Inayat Khan. I have walked, stumbled, crawled, and danced this path since 1976 and taught it for about 20 years. I am based in Seattle, where I focus a circle of seekers in the practices that lead to spiritual awakening.
