Anji Ringzin has been presenting Rumi poetry around the state since the early 90s. For Anji’s Rumi reading of Rumi’s poems with interspersed info about Rumi’s life, Robert will accompany her on his bamboo flute.
I will speak about the Zen Peacemakers annual Bearing Witness Retreat at Auschwitz which I have been attending annually since 1995 and attempt to somehow articulate what these sojourns to Auschwitz has taught me about the limits of compassion and the malleable boundaries of our humanity.
