About Us
Sufi Center East, also known as the Farm of Peace, is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 nonprofit. Proceeds from our events support our operations as well as scholarships for those who need help to attend our programs.
Follow a mile-long gravel lane and you will find the Farm of Peace; 120 acres nestled among forested state game-lands, and the stunning foothills of the nearby Allegheny Mountains of south-central Pennsylvania. A two-hour drive from Washington, D.C., Baltimore or Pittsburgh, the Farm of Peace features a retreat and healing center on a farm property, and a small local spiritual community.
Friday prayer is offered most weeks with a local prayer leader.
Programs include Sufi spiritual retreats, classes and personal growth workshops throughout the year.
Individual or farmily personal retreats bring participants into contact with beautiful woodlands and stunning vistas during any season. Those seeking to enjoy a few days in peace and quiet are welcome here. The Farm is a wonderful opportunity to unplug and relax.
We welcome visitors from all over the world to experience the beauty and peace to be found here.
Please be aware that we are a drug- and alcohol-free facility. Volunteers who will be working with children must comply with PA law regarding background checks – for more information click here.
