The Importance of the Quran in Sufism

Underlying Rumi’s magnificent poetry is a coherent world-view and spiritual psychology. A living tradition of human transformation has continued in the spirit of his legacy. Through contemplative practice, ceremony, metaphysical reflection, artistic expression, and community service a process of psycho-spiritual maturity has been refined. We will explore the fundamentals of this tradition and consider how they might be applied in today’s world. Kabir Helminski is the Co-Director of the ThresholdSociety, a non-profit educational foundation that has developed programs that provide a structure for practice and study within Sufism and spiritual psychology. He has been working within the Mevlevi tradition of Sufism for about thirty years and has translated many volumes of Sufi literature, including many works of Rumi. http://www.meditatio.co.uk/ Music Credits: Aourourou by Blue Dot Sessions
