Explore MeditationSikander Scott Von Heldt was born and raised in the small lakefront town of Sandusky, Ohio and had a natural gift for musical expression early on, inspiring his pursuit of a career as a professional touring musician. Over the years, he studied many world religions while developing a deep affinity for natural healing and wellness. In 2002, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue new musical opportunities. He quickly gained traction as a session guitarist/vocalist and touring musician, working with several icons he had admired growing up. In 2005 he discovered The Mysticism of Sound and Music by Sufi mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan and was immediately captivated by the Sufi path & Inayat Khan's teachings. He sought out a Sufi teacher and soon met Tasnim Hermila Fernandez. Within months, he was initiated into the Inayatiyya and given the Sufi name Sikander. He progressed to become a Healing Conductor, Healing Retreat Guide, Knight of Purity, Immergent Leader, & Suluk Graduate. In 2020, he completed training to become a Representative in the Inayatiyya, and started The SoCal Inayatiyya Center for Spiritual Liberty, in Los Angeles. Sikander holds certifications in Sound Healing, Iridology, Herbology, and Cannabis & CBD Wellness Coaching, which he integrates into his holistic practice alongside music and Sufi teachings. Today, he builds an online presence, sharing daily teachings and monthly offerings via YouTube, Instagram, and Zoom.
