IN YOUR LIGHT,

I LEARN HOW TO LOVE.

IN YOUR BEAUTY,

HOW TO MAKE POEMS.

YOU DANCE INSIDE MY CHEST,

WHERE NO ONE SEES YOU

BUT SOMETIMES I DO,

AND THAT SIGHT

BECOMES THIS ART.

- Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi

ABOUT us

Founded in 2018 by Baraka Blue and inspired by the life and legacy of the great mystic poet Mawlana Jalaludeen Rumi.

Perhaps no one has combined the qualities of spiritual master and literary genius to a greater extent than Rumi. At a certain point in his life, Rumi came to the realization that art was the most effective means to awaken people to the deepest potential within. Thereafter he retired from academic teaching and devoted his life to poetry, dance, music, and meditation, as well as cultivating a community of fellow spiritual creatives committed to awakening and refining the heart.
