INVITATION TO JOIN
„Art as Zikr“, International Sufi Conference
Vienna , May 9-10, 2026
Vienna, the capital of Austria, is a city steeped in culture and artistic expression. The Habsburg House that ruled a multi-ethnic territorial chunk of Europe from the 13th century to 1918, was centred in Austria. It was a great patron of arts and culture.
On the 9th and 10th of May a group of Sufis are gathering at Shaykha Rosina Fawzia Alrawi 's Haus des Friedens in Vienna with the objective of exploring the spiritual dimensions of Art.
Our world is fast moving into a dystopic reality. Who can save the world and humanity from such a tragedy? Not the politicians, not the current rulers of the nations, not the economists, not the social scientists …. but the lovers, the poets, the thinkers, the philosophers, the revivalists, the mystics, the sufis. These are the bridge-builders, they are the messiahs and the healers of the wounds of a suffering humanity.
We know these are times that are hard on all. There are wars, and economic crises due to inflation propelled by fuel control and shortage. The world is not only in an economic crunch but in an accompanying acute contraction of consciousness. On the one side the growing juggernaut of the fear of survival is crushing human life, and on the other the Spirit is rising in a majestic ascent to pulverise the man-made trap of fear, control and greed. At this time the Door of Heavenly Knowledge belonging to the eschatalogical era is opening to reveal to the mystic heart the complete meanings of symbols and signs so humanity can be led from the ignorant blindness of a 3- D reality to the infinite expanse of a multi-dimensional diviniverse. We are denizens of a diviniverse not a universe.
Hamdi Ben Aissa - FR , Neil Douglas-Klotz , Fawzia al Rawi, Muhammad Valsan and myself, will be midwifing at this very sacred birthing event to bring into the world the Light that heralds the Age of Humanity's Saviour. This light is a power-bulb coming on within the deep recesses of human thinking to illuminate the areas of understanding that may elicit the new world we all await.
Come see the magic unfold in Vienna this May!
