Canada honours 800-year-old Persian Sufi mystic and poet with "Soul on Fire: Passion and Poetry of Rumi" featuring soul-igniting readings by Coleman Barks, accompanied by acclaimed musicians David Darling and Marcus Wise, along with the transformational teaching of Andrew Harvey

As part of worldwide celebrations during UNESCO's 2007 "International Year of Rumi," Sacred Wisdom Centre is bringingRumi's timeless message of humanism and love to Canada with "Soul on Fire:Passion and Poetry of Rumi" on Saturday, June 30 at the River Run Centre in Guelph.

Come find out why this 13th c. Persian Sufi mystic is one of the mostpopular poets in North America today! Evening Rumi readings by Coleman Barks from his own exquisitely sensitive translations, accompanied by musicians David Darling (cello) and Marcus Wise(Indian drums), will honour the spiritual depth of Rumi's profound wisdom 800years since his birth, giving us glimpses of what Barks describes as "the vastness of our true identity."

In the past 30+ years, Barks has produced 18 volumes of Rumi's translated works, with The Essential Rumi selling more than half a million copies worldwide.

During the day, distinguished Rumi translator and author of 30+ books on spirituality Andrew Harvey - "powered by love" - will lead an experiential workshop on Rumi's passion and wisdom.

Dedicated to Sacred Activism, "the union of profound spiritual understanding and wise, radical action in the world," Harvey will also be leading a Rumi pilgrimage to Turkey with Wisdom University in the Fall of 2007.
