About Sheikha Khadija Radin

Khadija Radin began turning in 1971 after she first saw whirling performed by the followers of Sufi Murshid Samuel Lewis in San Francisco, California. She was, at the time, a teacher and choreographer of modern dance. She has been teaching turning since 1978. Khadija had been whirling for eight years when she met Postneshin Jelaluddin Loras, and began the study of the classical Mevlevi turn. She has followed the way of Mevlana ever since. She was given permission to teach Mevlevi turning in 1982 by Postneshin Loras.

Khadija Radin is also a Sheikha of the Sufi Ruhaniat International, a Sufi order founded by Murshid Samuel Lewis. She resides at The Dervish Center in upstate New York, teaching Sufi studies, the Mevlevi and other styles of turning and meditation. She is the director of the Body Mind Restoration Retreats, a cleansing and renewal program hosted at the center in the summer.

In January of 1982 she began training with Zen Master Joshu Sasaki Roshi. She was ordained a nun by Sasaki Roshi in 1991. She leads an annual whirling and meditation retreat for women. She travels the world performing and teaching Sufi tradition and whirling.
