Golden Gate Sufi Circle

About GGSC |
|
According to Pir Shabda, many years ago, as the Ruhaniat was growing into an international organization, our local Sufi leaders
circle formed a regional chapter of the Sufi Ruhaniat International called the Golden Gate Sufi Circle. This nonprofit organization became the vehicle for all of our regional camps and retreats, Mendocino Sufi Camp, All Bay Area Sufi Spring and Fall Campouts, the New Sufi Choir, recently the 10 day Sufi Sesshin, and many local classes, to name a few. We did not set up any vehicle for membership in the Golden Gate Sufi Circle, as this already exists for the Ruhaniat. All the work of the organization is done by volunteers. Within the network of our sisterhood/brotherhood in California there are numerous Sufi Centers, Dances of Universal Peace gatherings, classes, zikrs, healing circles, a bouquet of great variety but all springing from the benificent transmissions of Hazrat Inayat Khan and Mushid Samuel Lewis. GGSC also produces The Sound, an informative paper newsletter mailed to subscribers monthly, providing an excellent way to keep in touch. There is also an e-mail list for those who wish to receive periodic announcements of major GGSC events. Our intention is to be in service to the Message of Love, Harmony and Beauty with which we are entrusted, by sponsoring or supporting events like the ones you see listed in our web page. Peace be with you. -- Shaffee Howard Ballinger, GGSC Webmaster |
