SUFI explores diverse aspects of mysticism, spiritual thought and practice through articles, interviews, poetry, narratives, art, reviews and much more. Sufism is a spiritual path of mystical experience and expression, grounded in the experience of Unity, Love and loving kindness. For over 30 years in print form, the SUFI Journal shared Sufi and interfaith perspectives about mystical life and the language of the heart, featuring contributions from artists, scholars and activists from around the world. SUFI is now transformed to be so much more than a print or ordinary online magazine, offering an expansive and lush experience. SUFI content is an immersive, multi-medium encounter of spiritual expression. Content includes an ongoing series of art, thoughtful essays and poetry, organized around relevant themes. Even more, subscribers can click to savor music, listen to interviews and podcasts, and watch videos. During this unsettled time in society, SUFI speaks to those who are yearning to explore spiritual traditions and connect to heartful sources of meaning and experience. Did you know that SUFI is a non-profit? SUFI is published by Khaniqahi Nimatullahi and is produced by a dedicated team of volunteers.
