SHAHNAMEH  4

An interactive seminar exploring Ferdowsi's epic Shahnameh.

BEGINS SEPTEMBER 30th, 2026 - through June 2027

Wednesdays 7-9 pm Pacific - ONLINE

ABOUT THE COURSE :

SHAHNAMEH is a chronicle of consciousness, told in the form of heroic battles and epic romance. 

Ferdowsi's epic work offers a unique opportunity for us to ask: Who are we, where did we come from, how did we get here, and where do we want to go?

This year we will  focus on the stories of ROSTAM+SOHRAAB & SIAAVASH.

Through guided discussion, we will explore in depth the possible meanings and messages within the mythical stories.

We will read the original text and translate as we go along. The discussion will be in English; no knowledge of Farsi/Persian is required.

Seminar and discussions will be directed by Omid Arabian.

SCHEDULE:   Wednesdays, 7-9 pm Pacific

LOCATION:   online via Zoom

TUITION per person:  $975  (for 35 sessions)
