We are a Threshold Society Sufi circle in the Mid-Hudson Valley Region of New York, under the guidance and direction of Shaikh Kabir and Shaikha Camille Helminski based in Louisville, KY. We gather as a community of seekers committed to a spiritual practice that is traditional yet inclusive, creative, and universal.
The Threshold Society is a new expression of an ancient tradition, the Mevlevi Order, which traces back to Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi. For more than seven centuries, the Mevlevi tradition has held the light of the religion of love, offering a path for those who wish to develop their humanness to the highest level. Rooted within a Qur’anic framework and the inspiration of the Prophet Muhammad, the Threshold Society is open to all people interested in its work, no matter their religious affiliation.
Our focus is the education of the heart, and we are committed to integrating the wisdom of Sufism into the center of contemporary life. There is nothing more important than our spiritual life. Today’s world challenges us with its distractions, fast pace, and economic demands. Without a structure, a matrix of practice, we are in danger of being swept away by a tide of unconsciousness. Our tradition provides a framework for the cultivation of presence, remembrance, and conscious love.
