Sheikh Babikir Ahmed Babikir

Rumi’s Cave is an alternative community hub, arts and events venue in London, presenting a diverse range of cultural and social programmes to connect hearts, minds and communities. It is a non-defined social space open to all to reflect and share, inspired by the legacy of Jalauddin Rumi.
The Cave offers an eclectic mix of programs and events, ranging from poetry, storytelling and music nights, to afternoon tea, and a variety of talks, courses and creative workshops.
Rooted in a vibrant and dynamic community, the Cave has managed to bring together a diverse group of local and international guests, who share a passion for culture, creativity and learning. It also serves as a safe, non-judgemental space, where people from different backgrounds can come together and explore their cultures and identity. Rumi’s Cave is a space opened for all to provide much needed help and support to the very vulnerable members of our community.

Rumi’s Courses & Retreats

Led by Sheikh Ahmed Babikir, these programs aim to facilitate personal and spiritual development in the community, with open workshops, courses and talks. We also arrange a series of national and international retreats, focusing on a variety of themes to do with individual and spiritual development.

Our spiritual programs are open to all, regardless of background and beliefs, as we also hope to serve as a platform for intra-faith and interfaith dialogue.
