Private Sessions
A Sheikha and teacher in the Sufi Ruhaniat International, I have been working as a spiritual guide and mentor for over 2 decades. I offer 1-hour online sessions. I am also availble for in-person meetings, for those who are in the Boulder area. See “Meet Jahanara” for more information about me and the flavor and focus of my work.

For so long, I searched—through the noise, the web of days, the ache that stretched between my longing and the unreachable. I sought a teacher who could see the fragile architecture of my inner world and offer not answers but the kind of questions that split the soul wide open.
Jahanara Laura Mangus came as a quiet answer to my prayers, a whisper of grace in the chaos, arriving as though summoned by the silent yearning I hadn’t yet dared to name.
When she welcomed me into her world, it wasn’t to lead me down a well-worn path but to guide me in carving my own. She waited patiently as I unfurled and stumbled through the vulnerability of showing her my tangled, unspoken places. And when I did, she met me with nothing but grace— offered me a refuge of prayer and song, each note a balm, each word a salve for the parts of me I thought could never heal.
When I had no songs left in me, she lent me hers.
I came to her burdened by the mundane, torn between the demands of a world that siphons the soul and the call of something vast and infinite—the ache of separation from what I know to be true. She taught me to soften into the ordinary, to see the divine even in the slight and unnoticed, and to create beauty from imperfection. She reminded me how to surrender, how to let silence sing its hidden songs, and how to trust that sound, not words, could carry my prayer far and beyond.
Jahanara’s teachings are not just lessons; they are invitations to remember and hold the holy ache, not as a burden but as a gift. To listen, to create, to be remade.
There are no words large enough to contain what she has offered me. All I know is that I am being reshaped, and she stands as a steady pillar in the unfolding of my new world.
I will forever be grateful to have someone as gentle and wise as a companion along my path.
