Tarquin Rees

I am a writer, coach and web dev working at Okapi Creative and living in Cambridge, UK.

I have a BA in Art & Archaeology with Religious Studies from SOAS and an MA in Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred. I was recently working on a PhD on the topic of Holy Fools, mad Saints and transgressive behaviour in Christianity and Islam from the Cynics to the modern era.

I work as a Spiritual Director and Transformational Coach and am obsessed with modern and Russian literature. You may see my 2026 reading list here or check out my Bookhive profile.

This blog is a repository of my thoughts on Islam, Sufism, religion in general and any other weird stuff I can dig up. If you want to get in touch feel free to mail me at: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
