The first thing Shaykh Effendi wanted to do upon arriving to the Prayer Vigil was to greet Clyde Bellecourt, a Native American activist who is 71 years old. His Ojibwe name is Nee-gon-we-way-we-dun which means “Thunder Before the Storm.
Zikr with everyone participating, Clyde Bellecourt is presented with jubba and turban

Zikr at Dergah
Zikr at New York City Dergah
One of the great blessings of living at the Dergah is being able to know exactly where your food comes from. This week I host a BBQ at my home and invited the mureeds over.
