Weekly Rumi Poetry Reflection in Liverpool
Under the guidance of Shaikh David Bellak of the Edinburgh Mevlevi Tekke, our living link to the tradition, we are holding a weekly group to explore the Sufism of Jelaluddin Rumi (1207 - 1273 CE) through his beautiful and profound poetry. We study his poetry to study ourselves, in the spirit of the saying of the Prophet Muhammad "To know yourself is to know your Lord". The group currently meets most Mondays from 5.30pm-6.30pm in the cafe of Waterstones bookshop in Liverpool One. Anyone is welcome, and there is no charge. The poetry reading group forms part of our training in the 'School' of Rumi, which includes self reflection, meditation and the appreciation of beauty, especially the beauty of the human heart. every moment a voice out of this world calls on our soul to wake up and rise this soul of ours is like a flame with more smoke than light darkening our vision letting no light through lessen the smoke and more light brightens your house
