Bio
Kabir Helminski
Between 1994 and 2000 he toured with the Whirling Dervishes of Turkey, bringing the spiritual culture of the Mevlevis to more than 100,000 people. He has an M.A. in psychology and an (honorary) Ph.D. in literature from Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey.
Along with his wife, Camille, Kabir was one of the first to translate Rumi's poetry in the West. They founded the Threshold society, a non-profit educational foundation with the purpose of facilitating the experience of Divine Unity, Love, and Truth in the world. Sufism is a living tradition of human transformation through love and higher consciousness.
Helminski lives with his family in Santa Cruz, California, where he now focuses on Sufi music, writing, teaching, and developing a program of spiritual education with an international team of scholars.
