When Anna Platsch meets her first (Egyptian) Sufi teacher, she is immersed in a world that fulfils her spiritual longings. At the same time, this Muslim world with its rigid set of rules has an alienating effect on her.
Anna Platsch describes her experiences between ritual prayers in shared flats in Berlin and journeys to the Muslim world, describes her search for traces of the feminine in the history and present of Islam and portrays some great women of Sufism. She paints a picture of a spiritual culture that we encounter today above all in its dark sides, but whose complexity is of great importance for our ability to dialogue.
Her own spiritual path eventually led her to Irina Tweedie, who teaches a Sufism beyond Islam, and to Annette Kaiser, who continues to transform this tradition into today.
