Additional Resources for Participants
Working with Muiz in God is Breath Courses

( Please note, access to these resources is limited to those who actually participated in the specific course groups mentored by Muiz. ) 

The God is Breath Program was originally designed by Murshid Wali Ali Meyer. He offered it in-person at the Mentorgarten (in San Francisco, California, USA) in 2013. The format was 10, monthly, full-day sessions (morning, afternoon, and evening), which were video recorded as resources for participants.

Afterwards he modified the format so subsequent participants would spend 2 months with each of the 10 sessions, to provide more time and spaciousness with the practices from each session. In order to make it more widely available, God is Breath was offered remotely, via Zoom, in groups of 7 participants, with a facilitator chosen by Wali Ali, from the original in-person group.

In 2022, as a result of Murshid Wali Ali’s incapacitation, Sheikh Muiz Brinkerhoff was asked to step forward to hold the post of God is Breath Program Director. Under Gudiance, with support from Murshid Abraham and Murshida Halima Sussman, Muiz modified the program again to spend 3 months with each session for even more spaciousness with the practices. To avoid requiring a 30 month commitment, he also split the original course into 3 smaller courses, of 12 and 9 months each.

The God is Breath (program provides an opportunity for those drawn to it to gather in small groups with an experienced mentor in order to dive more deeply into the foundational Spiritual Practices of our Ruhaniat Sufi lineage, and the teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan and Murshid Samuel Lewis, from which the various practices arise. Establishing a daily practice, or deepening into an existing one is strongly encouraged.
