2009 Threshold Society Events, Seminars & Workshops

We honor the living spiritual legacy of our tradition, the beauty of the prophets, the truth of revelation, and the words of our Pir: The past has vanished, everything that was uttered belongs there; Now is the time to speak of new things. ~Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi

IN THIS TIME OF GREAT TRANSITION, IT IS USEFUL TO REMEMBER
THAT OURS IS A LIVING TRADITION, CAPABLE OF RESPONDING
EVEN TO UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGES.

Over the entrance to Mevlana Rumi's Dergah in Konya are the words:
This is the Kaaba of the lovers. Those who entered here became complete.
We will explore the implications of these words, practicing Sufi contemplation (muraqaba & zikr),
reflecting on the teachings of Sufism,
and opening our hearts with music, friendship, and some time in nature.
