Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee is a Sufi mystic and lineage successor in the Naqshbandiyya-Mujaddidiyya Sufi Order. He is an extensive lecturer and author of several books about Sufism, mysticism, dreamwork and Jungian spirituality.

History

Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee was born in London in the year 1953. He began following the Naqshbandiyya-Mujaddidiyya Sufi path at the age of 19, after meeting Irina Tweedie, author of "Daughter of Fire: A Diary of a Spiritual Training with a Sufi master". He eventually became Tweedie's successor and a Sheikh in the Naqshbandiyya Sufi Order. In 1991 he moved to Northern California and opened the "Golden Sufi Center" to help make available the teachings of his Sufi Lineage.

Works

Llewellyn has written many books and has lectured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe on Sufism, mysticism, Jungian psychology and dreamwork. Much of his career has focused on the attempt to integrate ancient Sufi approaches to dreams with the insights of modern Analytical Psychology. As such, his teaching themes fall within the range of not only his Sufi Order but of Jungian and Transpersonal psychology as well. His recent work, however, has been focused on the concept of spiritual responsibility during, what he feels is, a time of a global transformation into a consciousness of oneness.
