The Symposium is an opportunity for all to learn about the ancient school of Islamic Mysticism. Music, poems, and Sufi practices help in celebrating a weekend of spiritual empowerment. In addition to lectures and workshops, the Sufism Symposium exhibits books, audio tapes, video tapes, Sufi publications, informational materials and art from Sufi Orders and international publishers.

Each symposium focuses on a particular theme to address the immediate and universal needs of humanity. This past year’s symposium theme was on Mind and Heart:

Each symposium is a historical event where speakers and participants from around the world are enraptured in camaraderie as their longing to unite with the Divine transcended cultural and philosophical barriers. A comprehensive report, audio tapes, and video tapes are available from each gathering.
