Description:
Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Balkhī Rumi is greatly appreciated in the West, but few understand the depth of his spiritual and cultural context and the Persian language or know the many layers of meaning that have been lost in translations. It will be difficult to grasp Rumi's poetry without understanding his mystical language and background.
Rumi's poetry is an invaluable map of the heart and the spiritual realm.
Through these teachings and providing key translations and contexts, Pouria supports you in embodying and tasting the transformative depth and beauty of these practices and language inside your heart. The course aspires to be an informative and transformative experience.
