[UUCP] THIS FRIDAY: "RUMI: POET OF THE HEART"

[Liandra Pires]

*This Friday, January 27th at 7:30 PM, UUCP will be hosting a screening of
the award winning film “RUMI: Poet of the Heart.”  For over seven hundred
years, Jalal ad-Din Rumi’s writings have enchanted, inspired, and
enlightened Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists. Rumi’s poetry
celebrates the sacred in everyday existence and transcends boundaries of
time, place, and religion to speak to all people. In the past two decades,
there has been an astounding resurgence of interest in Rumi and his poetry.
Today, he is one of the best-selling poets in the world.*


*“RUMI: Poet of the Heart,” is produced and directed by Haydn Reiss,
featuring Coleman Barks, Robert Bly, storyteller and mythologist Michael
Meade, religious historian Huston Smith, and Deepak Chopra. It is narrated
by Debra Winger with musical performances by oud virtuoso Hamza El Din and
musician Jai Uttal offering inspiring accompaniment to this beautifully
produced film.*


*Stay after the film for a discussion and reading of a few of Rumi’s poems
not read in the film. Refreshments will be served. Donations appreciated.
We look forward to seeing you!*
