Rumi Meditation Mondays. Come, Come, whoever you are. Wonderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn’t matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come.
If you are joining for the first time, it is advised to come a little early, closer to 6pm, so we can greet you, give you a quick orientation, and answer any questions you might have.
