Please join us for a heart-opening experience of sacred poetry, music, and whirling.

Presented by The Inner Garden

Rumi’s poetry has spoken the universal language of love, faith, and tolerance for over 800 years; millions turn to his words for inspiration, strength, and peace. From the beginning of time, an inner knowledge and certainty of something beyond the self has been held ... and Rumi's works help us to touch this place.

Featuring Coleman Barks (preeminent Rumi translator), Whirling (sema) Dervishes, and Garo & Friends (Rumi-inspired music). 

This event is sponsored by Wonderworks, and takes place at the Eastminster United Church, 301 Danforth Ave, Toronto. 

Advance tickets are available at Wonderworks for $30 (cash only), or $35 at the door. You are strongly encouraged to get advance tickets.
