 rhoff\, from northern California\, USA\, has been walking the Sufi Path 
 since 1975\, guiding his initiated students since 1987\, and offering th
 e Dances of Universal Peace and Sufi spiritual practices internationally
  from 2003. \nHe and Jilani have been co-leading evenings\, weekend\, a
 nd week-long retreats since 2016\, deeply enjoying and looking forward t
 o each collaboration.\nMuiz also offers individual and class-based\, for
 mal Sufi training to his and other initiated students\, and informal gui
 dance and perspective to those who resonate with his methods for cultiva
 ting Waking Up into greater Awareness.\nHis approach to his own growth a
 nd development includes equal measures of common sense practicality\, a 
 keen sense of humour\, taking his human ego-self very lightly\, and ongo
 ing cultivation of gratitude and kindness — which all carry over into 
 his work with individuals and groups. \nThe combination and balancing o
 f these tools and perspectives seem to be a powerful protection against 
 getting caught up in two common pitfalls on the Spiritual Path: spiritua
 l bypass or a joyless\, dour "sober" spirituality.\nAs an openly-identif
 ied gay man since 1975\, he has been acknowledged as a trail-blazer and 
 role model by both younger and older LGBTQIA+ and gender non-conforming 
 members of the Ruhaniat and Inayatiyya communities\, demonstrating that 
 there is a respected place and spiritual home for them\, and helping the
 m feel safer to come out themselves. \n\nJilani Cordelia Prescott has b
 een a mureed (Sufi student) of Muiz since 2005\, taking formal initiatio
 n with him in 2007. In 2016 she was empowered to guide her own initiated
  students\, and she has travelled widely since then\, working with muree
 ds and leading retreats based around Sufi practices and the Dances of Un
 iversal Peace. It is always a special pleasure and privilege for her to 
 work alongside her beloved guide and teacher Muiz.
