The Shadhiliyya Sufi tradition is one of growing in love, mercy, peace, freedom, unity and surrender to God. This ancient spiritual tradition is an inner way that opens our hearts to God's reality. Our Guide in this journey is Sidi al-Jamal, head of the Higher Sufi Council in Jerusalem. The SSC East, like our national Center, the Shadhiliyya Sufi Center of North America in California, offers a variety of programs, events, retreats, and healing intensives to help anyone journey more closely to experiencing the deep Love that lies within each heart. The Farm of Peace, our spiritual center, is located on 150 rolling acres near Warfordsburg, Pa. The Farm of Peace is a center for zawiyah ( spiritual retreat ), community gatherings, and teachings. It is a working farm where chickens for eggs and for meat, sheep and bees are raised and where vegetables, fruits and herbs are grown organically. Healing in the Sufi way means bringing the Deep Love of God to the places that are in pain or separation whether in body, mind, heart or spirit. Our community has many healers who have been trained through the University of Spiritual Healing & Sufism ( formerly Jaffe Institute ). Under the direction of Salima Adelstein, our Community Director and Master Sufi teacher and Master Healer, we offer healing intensive retreats, spiritual retreats ( zawiyah ), and Salima Healing Seminars throughout the year ( see links at top ). Our community comes together weekly for Sufi healing circles ( dhikr ) in Frederick, Md., at the Farm of Peace, and in the greater Baltimore and Silver Spring, Md., areas. Everyone is welcome to join in these community prayer and healing events. Please check the Events page for a schedule for dhikr and other community events.
