it is true that Sufism and Islam are not the same thing, especially in the West coast of the United States. Think of this as a different religion, that is inspired by the language and teachings of the Middle East, but touches people who need to be reached spiritually by different practices. What it has in common with Islam is seeking inner peace, community, service to others and remembrance of Allah. Sufism has it's roots in Islam, and we also honor all other sincere religious paths.
Peace and blessings to you (Salaam) to you for pursuing a higher path and striving to reach Allah (SWT).....but this video and the accompanying website look nothing like Islam. It could be argued that is "ok" but this seems to be a case of people with very good intentions (and probably good hearts) adopting aspects of a religion that has a pretty strict all-or-nothing philosophy. I hope all of you (folk-dance-circle-people) are guided toward the straight path that is Islam.
I have no doubt that this camp was a liberating experience....but forgive those of us who are Muslim who are wondering what in the world this folk-music-dance-camp has to do with Islam! Most Muslims, of most sects and schools, believe that at the very least that following the example of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the bedrock of Muslim conduct. I can't see how the Prophet's Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam message, or example is being exemplified in these folk-dance-circles (?).
As some souls are called to submit to sharia, others are called to other practices. In this world of confusion I celebrate any being who turns toward God on any path, however long or short a time it may take them, and however different it may be from my own way. If a being is submitted to Allah, this is true tasawuf. thanks for writing, and blessings on your path.
Submitted to God means following the path shown by His messenger. If not, then chances one effort is moving towards being astray (instead of submission). God Most Knowing.

Well done!! And thank you for sharing.
