Know Thyself – The Essence of Sufism
A Retreat with Rupert Spira

Know Thyself – The Essence of Sufism explores the divine as it is expressed and understood in the Sufi tradition.Sufism holds a special place in Rupert Spira’s heart, as it was through the poetry of Rumi that his love of the divine was first reawakened in his mid-teens. Although a Vedantin on the outside, he considers himself a Sufi on the inside.Recorded during a weekend online retreat, these guided meditations and conversations draw on the writings of Rumi, Ibn ‘Arabi and Balyani as living pointers to be verified in our own direct experience.This is an invitation to turn towards the essence of our self – the ‘I’ that Sufism calls the Beloved – and to discover there the peace and happiness we long for.
