Celebrating Rumi: Poetry, Philosophy, and Symbols of the Sufi Path

a talk with Fahad Siadat in the PRS Library


Join us for a special presentation that will explore the facts and legends surrounding Rumi's life, philosophy, and poetry.


The 13th Century poet Rumi is one of the most popular poets of the contemporary world. This presentation will explore the facts and legends surrounding his life, the spiritual philosophy that drove his poetry, and the symbolic meaning of the whirling ritual that originated from his greatest tragedy.

This talk is being held at PRS in support of The Resonance Collective's performance of - a night of devotional music, sacred movement prayer, life-transforming stories and poetry which would inspire, elevate and empower - happening on Saturday, December 14th at the First Congregational Church LA.


Dr. Fahad Siadat is the director of the Resonance Collective, a multifaceted organization dedicated to unveiling Mystery through the arts. As an academic and writer, he regularly publishes essays and gives lectures on the intersection of art and spirituality, with a focus on music, mystical traditions, and ritual practices. He is the curator of the Golden Thread Concert series, and a co-director of the annual N.E.O. Voice Festival.


Siadat is an award-winning performer and composer who creates interdisciplinary pieces that reclaim and redefine sacred music and are considered to “border on being a spiritual journey” (LA Dance Chronicle). His work is described by the press as “evoking wonder, desire, and terror” (Off Broadway), “hypnotic” (Backstage) and “delivering the critical human element” (Sequenza21).His music has been performed in Europe, China, and across the United States.@[email protected]
