Full of parables and practical examples, Pir Netanel tells the "Story of Sufism" and introduces us to the "Sufi Paths of Love" and the "Sufi Path of Knowledge," as well as Sufi meditation practices and the inner life of Sufism (and the struggles we sometimes encounter there). Whether reading about Sufism for the first time, or an experienced practitioner, you will find something "In the Teahouse" to inform, surprise, and delight you.

Reviews


"Wah! So wonderful to have these enlightening words under the name 'Sufi' to help humanity make its way from confusion to loving kindness and compassion. Thank you for this beautiful book crafted with so much care; may it bring joy and guidance to every one who has the good fortune of opening her pages!"- Pir Shabda Kahn, head of the Sufi Ruhaniat Order, co-author of Physicians of the Heart
"What a balm for the soul. I began reading Pir Netanel's book and my heart and spirit were deeply fed. He shares the deep principles of Sufism with a grace and simplicity that is accessible and relatable. I could feel the deep parallels to the Toltec and Buddhist practices that nourish me, finding myself alternately crying and laughing as I felt these connections. I highly recommend this book."- Brenda Salgado, founder of Nepantla Consulting, and author of Real World Mindfulness for Beginners
"Add this treasure to your spiritual library of authentic Sufi texts, and read it again and again for the stories, for the wisdom, and then just for the joy of being with one of God's friends."- Pir Puran Bair, co-founder of the Institute for Applied Meditation on the Heart, co-author of Living from the Heart
"Join centuries of Sufis-'Drink with the Beloved'-this steaming tasty tea. Bright with understanding, In the Teahouse of Experience is a beautifully written glimpse into leaves of mysticism, moistened and fragrant." - Tamam Kahn, author of Untold, A History of the Wives of Prophet Muhammad and Fatima's Touch
"Open these pages and drink deeply from the insight and wisdom of a gifted teacher, storyteller, and poet. Thank you Pir Netanel for sharing so generously from the spiritual traditions that have nourished you!"-Rabbi Or N. Rose, director of the Miller Center for Interreligious Learning & Leadership, and co-author of God in All Moments
"From the first story I was hooked; Netanel Miles-Yépez has managed-through the power of his storytelling and a close attention to his own spiritual life-to meet the need of our minds to understand, the longing of our hearts to feel the closeness of the Beloved, and to shine a light in our souls. By journeying through the essential elements of the Sufi path we discover how to walk in the mystery of life with authenticity, passion, and care. The only other thing you can add to make it a richer experience is a nice cup of tea!" - Deepa Gulrukh Patel, Sufi teacher, group facilitator, and international coordinator of the Sufi Zenith Camp
"In the Teahouse of Experience is a wonderful guide for the Sufi seeker; truly one of the best books on Universalist Sufism available today!"- Rev. Adam Bucko, co-author of Occupy Spirituality and The New Monasticism
