This conference theme invites participants to explore and experience the concept of &#8220;unknowing&#8221; through the exploration of breath as a devotional, method-based practice, focusing on living and experiencing life and breath in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of promoting rigid truths of understanding, the conference encourages participants to experience the breath as a dynamic, living experience that resists being fully known or defined. It challenges the tendency of the ego mind to solidify and market knowledge in ways that limit diversity, love, compassion, and authentic relationships. Drawing inspiration from Rumi and the anonymous Christian mystic\u2019s concept of &#8220;unknowing,&#8221; the conference offers a space where participants can move beyond the Ego, embracing a shared experience of breath and life, fostering deeper connections.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

and ultimately, the path of Sufism. For over 50 years, Ibrahim has practiced as a musician and composer, an art form that has instilled in him the self-discipline and sensitivity needed to walk a true spiritual path.<\/p>\n<p>After two decades of searching, he met his teacher, Shaykh Taner Ansari &#8211; a guide whose teachings spoke directly to the heart and offered practical wisdom for living. In 1995, Ibrahim was appointed a Shaykh in the Ansari Qatari Rifai Sufi Order. Since then, he has guided students with humility and dedication, offering the Sufi way as a remedy of clarity and compassion in a world increasingly burdened by spiritual hunger.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, Ibrahim moved from California to Australia. He lives in the Blue Mountains and travels the country sharing Sufism with Australians through teaching, travel and service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-28vdnp-08a6c122fa04ad474279ed928c2df468 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-62  el_after_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mahk420k-eea0036284a7d568cb494adf06554d3a '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><b>Day: 5 September 2025<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Theme:\u00a0<\/b>Care and Feeding of the Spiritual Heart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information<\/strong>:\u00a0Skaykh Ibrahim will speak to the care and feeding of the spiritual heart.<\/p>\n<p>As an ordained Shaykh and Khalifa of the Cadiri-Rifa&#8217;i Tariqa, now known as the Ansari Sufi Order, Ibrahim will bring Rumi poetry as well as teach and demonstrate the sacred method of Zikr with the breath.<\/p>\n<p>If it feels right on the evening, Ibrahim may also explain how to do Sema (whirling dance\/turning).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3317","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibfbreathwork.org\/GIC2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibfbreathwork.org\/GIC2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibfbreathwork.org\/GIC2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ibfbreathwork.org\/GIC2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ibfbreathwork.org\/GIC2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3317"}],"version-history":[{"count":34,"href":"https:\/\/ibfbreathwork.org\/GIC2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3854,"href":"https:\/\/ibfbreathwork.org\/GIC2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3317\/revisions\/3854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibfbreathwork.org\/GIC2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
