Becoming Divine Light

Imagine stepping into a sacred space where the veils between you and divine presence grow thin—where prayer becomes alive, the heart awakens to its deepest wisdom, and you remember yourself as a vessel of divine love. Becoming Divine Light is a three-day immersion in the Sufi healing tradition, led by renowned teacher Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe, taking place October 16–18, 2026 at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. This is not a workshop about spirituality; it is an invitation into direct encounter with the sacred itself.

The Sufi path has long been a gateway for seekers drawn to the mystical heart of spiritual practice—where ancient wisdom meets lived transformation. This weekend brings that lineage into intimate focus through guided prayer, invocation of the divine names, and teachings that address both the architecture of the soul and the practical work of becoming whole. Whether you come as a seasoned practitioner or a curious beginner, you will find yourself held in a field of genuine spiritual inquiry and compassionate teaching.

Over three days, you will move beyond intellectual understanding into embodied knowing. The APIIR-TB method—a comprehensive approach grounded in Sufi wisdom—offers both the experience of healing and the tools to carry that healing into your daily life. This is transformational work: developing discernment, deepening trust in the heart's wisdom, and rekindling an intimate relationship with the divine that shapes how you move through the world.

What to Expect

This immersion weaves together several practices and teachings into a coherent arc. Each day opens with guided invocation and prayer, creating a resonant container for deeper work. Dr. Jaffe leads teachings on the heart and soul—not as philosophy, but as living pathways of awakening. Through the APIIR-TB method (alignment, pattern, images, issues, resolution, teaching, and beautification), you will engage in experiential practices that address both inner transformation and practical application. The atmosphere is contemplative yet vibrant, structured yet spacious—designed to honor both the depth of your inner work and the support of a conscious community. You will leave with a clearer sense of your relationship to the divine, practical tools for spiritual living, and an understanding of how to continue this work at home.
