Talk
Spiritual Ecology — Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
A talk connecting Sufi mysticism to the ecological crisis, from Vaughan-Lee's later archive.
About the teacher
A quiet, direct path.
Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee holds the rank of sheikh within the Naqshbandi-Mujaddidi Sufi order and founded the Golden Sufi Center to teach Sufism combined with depth psychology, particularly Jungian thought, to Western students. His later writing turned increasingly toward ecological and collective themes, published as 'Stories for a Living Future'.
He gave his final public teachings in late 2018 after thirty years of active teaching and has not taught publicly since. His son, Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, is his fully authorised successor and sheikh, leading retreats in Australia and at the Whidbey Institute in 2026; the Golden Sufi Center's substantial audio and video archive remains available.
