Poetics of Awakening
Poetics of Awakening -
with Taj Inayat and Himayat Inayati
The Sufi masters often used poetics as a teaching modality to describe the intimate knowing of the Divine and to provide portals of contemplation that fostered a deeper awakening to Reality. This short course will provide illuminating poems from Rābiʼa al-ʼAdawiyya, Farīd ud-Dīn al- Nishapur, Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī and Hazrat Inayat Khan.
Taj and Himayat will offer two-hour Friday afternoon Zoom sessions dedicated to a selected poem by each teacher, for participants to taste, savor, devour, contemplate and bask in. Each session will be oriented to awakening to deeper levels of one’s true self, thereby stimulating and clarifying a personal awakening process.
Sessions will be on Fridays from 1 – 3 PM (ET)
February 7 & 21 as well as March 7 & 21, 2025.
