Murshid Tansen O’Donohoe, a senior Sufi teacher, dance mentor and leader from England, is a mystic in regular guy clothing who is repeatedly described as “understated.” He creates a warm atmosphere that invites a deepening into the heart. |
|
Born & reared in England, Murshid Tansen O’Donohoe came to the Sufi path after a long career as a university librarian and a devoted Yoga practitioner. Because of his love for music he was naturally drawn to the mysticism of sound and music, but equally his path has always involved the study of breath and the development of heart. As he says, "In 1987 I first experienced a form of spiritual dance, Dances of Universal Peace, which was literally a life changing experience. Immediately with my whole being I knew that the Dances of Universal Peace would become my heart’s path and my life’s work. All praise to God that this has proved to be the case."
In speaking of the Sufi Path of the Heart, Tansen states, "This path of Spiritual Dance and Sufi Meditation is experiential, empowering, transformative, joyful and healing. Spiritual practices can be a valuable and effective tool to increase your capacity for living life fully and successfully while being at ease with yourself and others. The spiritual practices we offer are in essence food for your soul: they nourish your soul, give you vitality, inspire you with wisdom, and recharge you with power.….."
