The Vancouver Rumi Society (registered at Victoria, BC Canada) is the
inheritor of a long line of local societies and groups. Starting in the 1970’s
with Reshad Feild and Suleyman Loras Dede it has been involved in education and
charity work. It has put on Zikr (chanting) and Whirling (Sema) Ceremonies on an
almost continuous basis and has public speakers who give talks on Sufism on
request. We have been involved with many other mystical and religious
denominations in the spirit of cooperation and cultural exchange. The overall purpose of the
society is to promote the
understanding of the spiritual unity underlying all religious
truths. We organize spiritual gatherings open to people of all
faiths. We encourage the study of all spiritual writings, focusing on the poetry
and works of Moulana Jelaluddin Rumi, a mystic who lived and wrote during the
thirteenth century (C.E.).
