Join us on the first Tuesday of each month for a mystical series of evenings celebrating Sufi Poetry. The Rumi Poetry Club was founded by Rasoul Shams in 2007, on the occasion of the 800th anniversary of Jalâluddin Rumi’s birth. Since then, they have celebrated the poetry, inspiration, and perennial teachings of Rumi and other poets of the heart, nature, and spiritual life from around the world. Rasoul Shams first learned of Rumi's poems in his Persian classes as a young boy in Iran. The works of Rumi and other Persian poets have been his spiritual companions for decades. He has studied and lived in India, Japan, and the USA. His books include Rumi: The Art of Loving, Rumi Essays: On the Life, Poetry, and Vision of the Greatest Persian Sufi Poet, The Words of Rumi, and Through Love Pain is Healed. https://www.goldenbraidslc.com/events/spring-with-rumi-april-2025

Rampton Technology Building (TB) Room 104 The political culture of the United States is deeply fractured. Republicans and Democrats view one another with suspicion, anger, resentment, and distrust. A significant number of people claim an endorsement of, or willingness to participate in, violence, to “restore” the America they desire. What can be done? How can this dangerous and unsettling divide be bridged? Can we experience healing? How can we learn to understand one another, to speak empathetically and encouragingly with one another? What can we learn from conflict analysis and peacebuilding as it has been practiced in the world’s conflict-intense regions? How can we move forward together, building greater communication, appreciation, and reconciliation with others? How can we build a deeper democracy and more peaceful society? Dr. Minch’s lecture, “Healing Conversations: How to Build Peace in Divided Communities” will address these questions and give answers to them. Professor Minch is both a scholar of conflict and conflict transformation, and also an experienced peacebuilder and teacher of peacebuilding and reconciliation in various global locations. Seating is first come, first served and doors open at 12:30 p.m. Free parking for this event will be available in parking lots Q, P, and R.
