Camille Helminski, one of the founders and directors of the Threshold Society, has been working within the Mevlevi tradition of Sufism for about twenty years. Camille recently published the book Women of Sufism. She collaborated with Kabir Helminski on two collections, Rumi: Daylight and Jewels of Remembrance, 365 Selections from the Wisdom of Rumi.

In addition to her work with Kabir, Camille also collaborated with Refik Algan on a translation of Ahmet Hilmi's classic, Awakened Dreams.

Camille and Kabir are closely associated with Sufi teachers from other tariqats in Turkey and Syria, all of whom are committed to integrating the classical methods with modern needs.
