Become a member of the Sufi Circle Canada, a Sufi Movement In Canada spiritual community.
Either we are all Sufis or nobody is, exclaimed Murshid Hidayat on many occasions.
The ideals of Love, Harmony and Beauty, Spiritual Liberty, and Universal Sisterhood/Brotherhood are brought into the "real" world by holding those ideals in one’s heart but also by supporting their outward expression. One's beliefs and practices can bring about change. When shared with others the change has potential to be much more far-reaching.

Everyone with sympathy for the expression of the Sufi Message is a worker for the Message. Our lives are made more complete by trying to make life better for others through sharing the spiritually we have found.
Each year Sufi Circle Canada offers weekly meetings, workshops, email communications and a website. We invite you to join us in sharing the Sufi message in our times.

From The Canadian Sufi Archives
Sufi Circle Canada has created an ongoing project to restore the audio and video recordings made at various times and places, but especially media created from the annual Rocky Mountain Sufi Camp. This event ran from 1982 to 2002 and produced a tremendous amount of material.
Of course it is not possible to present here the hundreds of images and hours of audio and video that are available. The material chosen is done with an intention of illuminating the 'who and what' of this Canadian Sufi community.
