In this workshop, we discover inspiration for what Andrew Harvey calls "sacred activism" in the poems of the mystic Jalalludin Rumi, whose poetry celebrates the transforming power of sacred passion and the necessity of accepting ordeal and heartbreak as part of the birth process of the divine human. Using Rumi's poetry, along with Sufi and Christian heart practices, we delve deep into his essential message and find inspiration for our time. Join us as we celebrate Rumi's 800th birthday in 2007, designated The Year of Rumi by UNESCO.
