Himayat Inayati Th.D. first brought Sufism to Asheville 1976. He has served the Sufi Order International both in this country and abroad. He has served on The International Message Council, the highest council in the SOI, for fifteen years. He served on the International Steering Committee for the SOI Curriculum Committee. He received the transmission of Sufism offered by both Pir Vilayat Khan and Murshid Samuel Lewis. He has co-presented retreats and workshops with both Pir Vilayat Khan and Pir Zia . For over thirty years Himayat has plunged deeply into the teaching of the ancient Sufi masters Ibn al Arabi, Rumi, and Suhrawardi, updating their work in the light of modern research. Himayat is an international spokesperson for Universal Awakening, a global initiative to awaken humanity to the sacredness within all of life. His work, which offers a truly universal perspective of the sacred, is rooted in the teachings of the great world spiritual traditions and is informed by current research in science. Himayat’s style of teaching is lucid, practical, experientially based, and humorous. Founder of the Raphaelite Work, a method of spiritual healing that utilizes presence, breath, and touch, Himayat is a catalyst for the transformational process in others. Over the past 30 years, Himayat fostered an ongoing dialogue between spirituality and science centered on healing and transformational consciousness through organizing numerous symposiums, conferences, and workshops.
