In a world increasingly characterized by extreme individualism, social fragmentation, and marginalization of traditional values, where can we turn for spiritual inspiration and community?
How might we connect ourselves to The Living Tradition that originated with the Prophet Muhammad (peace & blessings upon him) and the revelation of the Qur’an, and that continued through generations of transformed people like Imam Jafar Sadiq, Bayazid Bistami, Rabia, Abdul Qadir Geylani, Ahmed Rifai, Ibn Arabi, Jalaluddin Rumi, Bahauddin Naqshband, and countless others up through modern times?
The Baraka Institute is being created to nurture a community committed to spiritual transformation, and to sponsor events that offer practical knowledge and wisdom for the times we live in.
