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.).
