Inayatiyya International Board
News, June 2024

As the Inayatiyya International Board, we have some news to share with you about organizational leadership changes.

World Wide Message Council Transition

Our dear friend, Zumurrud Butta, is stepping down from her role as the European Madar al-Maham (Vice President of the Inner School). Her departure leaves a void, and her creative and sparkling mind, along with her gentle and kind approach to all tasks, will be greatly missed. During her tenure, she has been working diligently behind the scenes to cultivate the Inner School. She has also been building on the work of previous teachers in providing training and support to leaders in Germany.

The good news is that Zumurrud will continue to serve as head of the Inner School in Germany and as part of the European Inner School Training Committee.

We are delighted to say that the other members of the European Inner School Training Committee—Nigel Huzur Hamilton (UK), Saki Lee (The Netherlands), Tajalli Lacuisse (France), and Ischtar Dvorak (Germany) have agreed to take on the interim role of the European Madar al-Maham (Vice President of the Inner School). They have been responsible for many years for the development of the Inner School in their individual countries and for the whole of Europe. They bring with them their knowledge, dedication, and experience as practitioners and teachers on this path to this work.

Chair of the Inayatiyya International Board
