The 16th Annual Sufi Conference

For more than 1400 years, the teachings of the great Sufi Masters of Maktab Tarighat Oveyssi Shahmaghsoudi, School of Islamic Sufism have illuminated the path of self-knowledge of Existence and the Divine Creator.  Through many centuries, the teachings were only available to the hand-picked, select few who studied with the Master.  Only recently, has Molana Hazrat Shah Maghsoud Sadegh Angha opened the doors of Sufism to all those who sincerely seek knowledge.  The teachings, illumination, and love provided by the Master Teacher form the foundation for Sufi Psychology.  Sufism is called the Way of Love, and Sufi Psychology is the practical application of the Sufi teachings.

The conferences is from 9:00 to 4:30 on Sunday. Delicious complimentary Persian breakfast, lunch and snacks nourish the body as the speakers nourish the mind and soul.  All those who are interested are invited to attend, including students, professionals and community members.
