Out beyond ideas
of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down
in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language
- even the phrase "each other" -
do not make any sense.

Rumi

 

Our group has been developed for those interested in learning more about Rumi and to experience the love he so beautifully describes in his poems by gathering with other open-hearted people.

(Jelaluddin) Rumi, the 13th century mystic poet, was truly one of the most passionate and profound poets in history.  Now, today his presence still remains strong, due in part to how his words seem to drip of the divine, and startle a profound rememberance that links all back to the Soul-Essence.  Born in what is present day Afghanistan in 1207, he produced his master work the Masnawi which consists of over 60,000 poems before he died in 1273.  The best way to fully say in words his impact, is that he has the ability to describe the Indescribable, Ineffable-- God.
