Daud Dede in Manchester

Image
  Daud Dede came down to Manchester from Edinburgh this weekend to lead an evening conversation on Rumi's spiritual tradition and to share zikr. He spoke of many things forming the way: gentleness, humanity, silence, intuition, faith, commitment to a simple practice, community, "higher worlds", and especially Unity. Central to his discourse was a Turkish saying, which translates roughly as "Two mountains cannot come to meet each other, but two human beings can." We hope to invite Dede down to Manchester again in December for Rumi's Sheb-i Arus.
