Interfaith, as a faith, does not seek to discover which religion or spiritual path is “right.” Rather, it recognizes that we are all brothers and sisters, and that at different times and different places we have encountered the sacred differently. We need not fear each other's spiritual paths. We share who we are and what we believe without trying to convert or convince, …

Sufism is a long inner journey. To share this journey with others who speak the same language of the heart is beautiful. There are many around us who share our spoken language; but how many are there who share this language of the heart? Rumi says, “Birds of the same kind fly together.” But if they are only together for a short time, their flight is not easy. As with them, if we don’t find others with whom we can share it, our life’s journey becomes more difficult. East, west, south, or north ma …

Its a place for thinkers to connect with other thinkers! The format is also very simple: there is a brief 15 to 30 minute lecture (the shorter the better) followed by a civil conversation. We believe in organic group mingling. Not all thinkers are compatible, as thinkers …
