The purpose of this group is to study the course Reflections on the Life of the Spirit, which is the first book in the Ruhi Institute. Reflections on the Life of the Spirit uses a collection of quotations and concepts central to the Baha’i Faith to investigate our role in achieving the betterment of the world, to examine the impact of spirituality on our daily lives, to explore our relationship with prayer, and to consider the mysteries of life and death. If we meet weekly for about 2 hours per session, the whole course will take us a couple of months to complete.

Anyone of any religion or spiritual background who finds this subject matter compelling should come to the next session and check it out. This is a safe space where all group members can learn and ask questions on equal footing, without criticism, condemnation, or anybody insisting that his or her interpretation is the only valid one. The group will be facilitated by me, Jericha Franz, a Sunnyvale resident.

 

The Baha’i Faith is the world’s youngest major religion. To read more about it, visit www.bahai.org.

The Ruhi Institute is a sequence of courses developed in Columbia to assist people all over the world in achieving personal and societal transformation by applying the central teachings of the Baha’i Faith to daily life. By intertwining study of the sacred texts with service projects, participants not only gain spiritual perception but also develop the capacity to serve their communities and work toward the Baha’is’ cherished goal of world peace. The Ruhi Institute is now in use in countries all around the world.
