Alefplus

Iran is home to some of the most significant sites of the Sufi tradition, where spirituality, poetry, and lived devotion converge. Alefplus warmly invites followers of Sufi traditions, scholars, and cultural travelers to visit these sacred places and experience Iran’s rich mystical heritage through meaningful religious and cultural journeys.

Honored to see Dr. Sajedeh Kohansal, esteemed member of Alefplus team, appointed as Head of the Office of International Affairs at Qom Municipality. We wish her continued success in this important role.

Dr. Hamideh Amiryazdani:

This weekend, as I wandered through the lively Tajrish Fruit Market in northern Tehran, I gradually felt that the boundary between me and the market had begun to dissolve. The vendors’ calls, the scent of cardamom, the gleam of cherries, the piles of Iranian pistachios, and the flow of shoppers all merged into a single unfolding field of consciousness. In that moment, I tasted abundance without ownership as the sense of my self gently melted away.
