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.

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-may-2025

The Spring Plant Sale Returns Saturday, May 10th at a NEW LOCATION!

This year our Spring Plant Sale is moving to a new location! A heartfelt thank you to Rowland Hall for hosting our sale for so many years. We’re incredibly grateful for their partnership and support. This year, we’re excited to bring the sale to the Utah State Fairpark (155 N 1000 W), expanding access to food-growing plants in a historically underserved area. This move aligns with our commitment to supporting community-led food sovereignty and increasing access to fresh, organic, local food, particularly in neighborhoods that have faced systemic barriers to healthy food options. 

Save the date: Saturday, May 10th, 8 AM - 1 PM
New location: Utah State Fairpark, 155 N 1000 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84116
