Here is a course description of the intention followed by a view of sunset over the SF Bay on the eve prior to my 12/6 departure (from the front yard, Berkeley):
Rumi Immersion in Turkey
December 8-22, 2008
Ibrahim Abdurrahman Farajajé
Every year, Sufis from around the world gather for the annual celebration of Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi's death. Concerts, symposia, lectures, sema (ceremony of the whirling dervishes), dhikrs (Sufi ceremony of Divine Remembrance), etc. take place throughout the day and late into the night. Rumi Immersion students will participate in sessions focusing on the study of Rumi; Islam in Turkey; dance and music in spiritual practice, etc.. There will be opportunities to meet with members of Jewish, Eastern Orthodox and Muslim Sufi communities in Istanbul and Konya, as well as with professors and students of theology.
