About the course

Sufi Psychology offers a profound roadmap to self-awareness, transformation and Divine connection. This course will guide you through the teachings of great Sufi masters – such as Ghazali, Rumi, Ibn Arabi – on the path from ego-consciousness to spiritual awakening. How do we move beyond the limitations of the lower self and awaken to our true nature? How can we cultivate inner stillness, clarity, and deep spiritual insight? How can we distinguish between fleeting happiness and that which is everlasting? What are the diseases of the heart and what are their cures? How do the outer dimensions of religion relate to the inner spiritual dimensions? These questions and more will be explored in our 8-week Sufi Psychology course.

Course Testimonials

from previous cohorts

This course took me to another level

from Bouchra

The Sufi Psychology course took me to another level in the path toward Allah, I became a traveler on this path, waiting for the next step to take but you should be ready to embark on this spiritual journey. You need to be consistent in your practices to achieve your goals.

Nothing short of a spiritual awakening

from Ali

This course was nothing short of a spiritual awakening for me. It was brilliantly insightful and offered profound transformations that touched the very core of my being. Each lesson felt like a deep, nourishing experience for the soul, providing me with a greater understanding of myself and the divine. The wisdom imparted was so enlightening and powerful that it was at times strikingly jarring to the incorrect existential stances that I was coming from, leading to some difficult yet profoundly meaningful and numinous transformations, feeding into a very real cultivation and nourishment of the soul. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone seeking insight into the ultimate truths of our spiritual nature as human beings. It truly was food for the soul!

Profound and unique

from Viktoria

Profound and unique. There is no teacher as good as Baraka Blue. With lightness, wisdom and humour he creates a kind, loving and open space, filled with love and light, that is truly amazing. This course, as all Rumi Center courses, was of great benefit to me. I highly recommend it.

A space where you can express yourself without being judged

from Habeel

If you are a poet and you didn't try one of Rumi Center courses then you are missing a lot. Rumi Center combines many aspects together from academic scholar material to building communities and friendships through suhba, and expressing oneself without being judged. When they say its a space where you can express yourself without being judged, where everyone is friendly, they actually mean it. May Allah Increase you and bless this community.

from Uzma

Sufi Psychology is a map for the soul!
