In the Fire of Grace, Iranian-born dancer Banafsheh interprets five stages of the soul's archetypal journey to union with the Beloved in movement that marries, as Rumi's mystical vision does, the serene peace with the fierce, gorgeous passion of the divine. She is accompanied by Andrew Harvey as the voice of 12th-century Sufi mystic poet Jalalludin Rumi, summoning her deeper into the ecstatic flames of death and rebirth.

This evening will feature the showing of the film, as well as the chance to dialogue with Banafsheh and Andrew afterward, as we open to direct experience of the urgency of Rumi's message for our turbulent world and the shattering, glorious paradoxes of the mystical journey.
