Dear Rumi Art Group,
ReplyDeleteI hope you could help to publicise this festival celebrating the life and work of Rumi, held in the Scottish Borders this August! And we hope to see you there. Here is the information:
RUMI FESTIVAL 2nd-4th August 2013
This festival, dedicated to celebrating the life , work and legacy of the globally acclaimed poet and mystic Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, opens with a concert by the renowned ney player Kudsi Erguner, and continues with two wonderful days of talks, participatory events, music, theatre and dance.
One of the giants of world literature, both as a poet and a storyteller, Rumi has inspired countless artists, musicians and seekers after truth. Born in the 13th century in Rum in Persia, Rumi is much more than an icon of middle eastern culture. His message of love, tolerance and the nurturing of the best aspirations in the human being is of global significance and as relevant today as in his own time.
The Festival is a gathering of all who, like Rumi, love truth and beauty and who search for the face of unity wherever it shows itself, in whatever form it takes. It is a celebration in word, dance and music of our common humanity, our aspiration for peace and harmony, of the opportunity in this life for transformation through self-knowledge and love, and of the single source of all beauty of expression.
