Melissa Clare
Melissa Clare grew up in a village in the south of England. After meeting her Sufi Teacher (Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan) in 1971, she emigrated to the US to live in a Sufi Community in upstate New York, where for 17 years she immersed herself in the Teachings and practices, becoming a retreat guide, minister, and senior teacher. An initiation with Fire brought a greater focus on healing. From 1987-1994 Melissa directed the Sufi Healing Order of North America, and later became a plant Spirit Medicine Practitioner and Firekeeper under the auspices of the Sacred Fire Community.
