Location & Dates

Location of On-Site Academic Sessions

We have developed a unique and flexible school schedule to help those who work full-time. The University of Spiritual Healing & Sufism school year begins in the autumn and spring. We meet once each quarter throughout the year. Each session runs for six days, Sunday through Friday evening. We have done our best to avoid all major holidays.

You attend classes for six days once every three months.
You have approximately eleven weeks between sessions.
Six days of immersion gives a thorough grounding to learn the healing processes.
Homework is done during the eleven weeks between sessions.
We hope that our schooling schedule offers the greatest flexibility for our students, since you may arrange your homework around your own personal schedule.

The hosting facility for on-site USHS Academic sessions is the Shadhiliyya Sufi Center in Pope Valley, California.

Pope Valley is located near Napa Valley and people fly into Sacramento or the Bay area. Pope Valley is ninety minutes from Sacramento and a couple of hours from the Bay area.
