As part of our continuing series on Mendocino County, CA we visit with Tara Sufiana, author of the âSword and the Rose: A Swiss American Dervish in Egypt.â Her memoir is based on 5 years of a 12 year journey when she left Mendocino County for a European and Mid East excursion beginning in 1983. âThe Sword and the Roseâ describes her experiences living among the Dervish people in Egypt, where she danced and prayed with the Sufis and performed in Egyptian hotels, on film and TV. Sufiana lives in the hills west of Ukiah, in a home that when the weather is clear, has a view of the Pacific Ocean. Our conversation began with her description of how she choose the title for her book. This interview was recorded in the studios of Radio Curious on July 12, 2010.
The book Tara Sufiana recommends is âThe Seat of the Soulâ by Gary Zukav.
