Final Year Project
Project Title
Journey to God - Investigative Research into Experiences of Sufism
Description
The project is based around my personal experience of absorbing the tradition of Sufism and looking for the devotional practices, the beliefs and the people that make Sufism what it is, as a counter to the misconceptualized and blasphemic allegations and the gentrified "hippie" version of Sufism that is the norm today.
