BIO Sarida Brown

Sarida Brown has been a devoted teacher and guide in the Sufi path of Inayatiyya since 1979. At the request of Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, she re-established the Inayatiyya Healing Order in Europe, a role she fulfilled for over four decades. Her spiritual journey includes leading retreats, teaching across Europe, guiding students in the Inner School, and contributing to Suluk programs.

Sarida is also the founder and was the editor for 20 years of Caduceus Journal, an internationally respected magazine exploring healing at the intersection of spirituality, medicine, psychotherapy, ecology, and the deep questions of our time. She has a long-standing background in acupuncture and depth-oriented psychotherapy, with a special focus on BodySoul integration through her work with Jungian analyst Marion Woodman.

Her teachings reflect a deep commitment to the sacred balance of feminine and masculine energies, and she participates in circles dedicated to planetary and spiritual regeneration, including the Sacred Co-Creation Circle with Anne Baring. A lifelong student of transformation and service, Sarida brings a rare blend of wisdom, compassion, and insight to her work—supporting others on their path of healing, awakening, and spiritual eldering.
