The Federation of the Sufi Message is a non-hierarchical umbrella organization of Sufi Orders united in their devotion to the spiritual lineage of Hazrat Inayat Khan and the Sufi Message. Formed in 1997, the Federation includes the International Sufi Movement, the Sufi Order International, the Sufi Way, Sufi Contact, Fraternity of Light and the Sufi Ruhaniat International. There have been ten years of annual Federation leadership gatherings; however for 2010 the Federation Gathering, hosted by the Ruhaniat, will initiate a new model as a Retreat/Camp type of gathering with Senior teachers from each order offering teachings open to all.

The event, entitled River of Guidance through the Streams of the Message, commemorates the 100 year anniversary of Hazrat Inayat Khan’s planting the seed of the Sufi Message in the West. It will take place April 28 - May 2, 2010 (Wednesday evening to Sunday after lunch)  at IONS Retreat Center on the Marin / Sonoma Border near San Francisco. Please register early to insure a space for you since the retreat is limited to the first 150 people.  VIEW LUMINOUS FLYER / REGISTER HERE. Email contact is (Email link is encrypted.

Senior teachers from six orders will share teachings and practices from their respective orders, and join in creative dialogue.This is an auspicious opportunity to both celebrate the common core of our lineages and explore the unique ways that the original teachings have developed and are being expressed in the various branches of our family tree.
