Our Beloved Teachers
Abraham and Halima Sussman
Murshids in the Sufi Ruhaniat, and Mentor Teachers of the Dances & Walks of Universal Peace. Abraham is a direct student of Murshid Samuel Lewis (SAM), the originator of the Dances of Universal Peace and the founder of the Sufi Ruhaniat. Halima also caught her love of the dances directly from Murshid Sam, and now serves on the guidance Council of the Mentor Teachers Guild. They are both psychotherapists and musicians. They teach together with a grace and humor that is born from 39 years of relationship.
Murshida Leilah Be
A senior teacher (Murshida) in the Sufi Ruhaniat International. She studied for 24 years with Sheikh Yakzan Valdez & Pir Moineddin Jablonski. She is an inspiring presence; authentic, warm, patient, kind and accessible and brings a depth of devotion and realization that takes the dances and zikar into a realm of spiritual beauty. Gardening meditation is a favorite activity. Leilah teaches on Maui and leads retreats throughout the world.
Bodhi Be
A Sheikh in the Sufi Ruhaniat International, an interfaith minister and counselor, and the executive director of a non-profit in the field of death and dying. He leads a death and dying support group, and opened the Death Store in Haiku in 2011. He is an off-the-grid homesteader and gardener, as well as musician, and artist.
Heather Neeraja Parsons
Is immersed in the Art and Practice of spiritual creative expression. Her commitment to The Awakening, through music, poetry, art, healing and environmental activism, along with her devotion to the Divine Mother, Mata Amritananda Mayi Ma, is the essence of Neeraja’s many projects, workshops, recordings and collaborations over the past 25 years. Now residing in Maui, her kirtans are a favorite event at Maui Sufi Camps, around the Hawaiian Islands and the West Coast. Her most recent recording project is sharing the vocals with world renowned tabla master Daniel Paul on his latest CD, Elephant Prayers. Her group offerings allow for meaningful participation, profound realizations and deep belly laughter. ”We are at our best when we are rooted in regular spiritual practices, while embracing spontaneous, deep and joyful activities. The unopened aspects of our true nature come alive when sacred intentions and mutual encouragement are created within a group of sincere seekers. Let’s meet in this garden and generate merit for all beings.”
Phyllis Moses
An accomplished yoga teacher in the “Viniyoga” tradition. She began her studies in the 70′s and has been teaching yoga and other healing modalities for the past 18 years, including international retreats and seminars. With her gentle elegance and deep wisdom she has developed a style of yoga to merge the energy flow systems of Hatha Yoga with the subtler Tibetan mind transmissions, as a way to feel more fully present and embodied . Her teaching has been enriched by practicing the inner yoga’s with esteemed Tibetan Buddhist teachers, as well as drinking in the stream of Sufi teachings.
