The Threshold Society welcomes people interested in Sufism and the Way of Mevlana Rumi.
Mother Center
Kabir and Camille have moved to Escondido, California, near San Diego, where they hold periodic gatherings.
The gatherings run for about two hours and typically include silent meditation; sohbet, “spiritual conversation,” often on the subject of a monthly theme; music; and the form of chanting known as zhikr, “remembrance.” If you would like to inquire about attending, please contact Ed Clifford: edclifford1@gmail.com
THE THRESHOLD SOCIETY ALSO HAS BRANCHES IN OTHER LOCATIONS – SEE BELOW
Khalifes
These are people who have been recognized for their maturity, devotion, and creative contribution to the Society and the Mevlevi tradition. A Khalife has the full support of Shaikh Kabir and Camille, and has the right to initiate into the Mevlevi Order.
