Ecstatic Poetry and Music Performances
These evenings, a symphony of consciousness, are a journey with the Beloved opening the heart and moving people through threshholds of awareness.

MEVLANA JELALUDDIN RUMI

When Rumi was a child in the thirteenth century, sages predicted that he would one day set the hearts of the world on fire. Today, Rumi is the best-selling poets in the world.

"This poetry is the living, molten speech of Divine Love itself — a trumpet waking the dead and calling us to relate again to the universe with wonder and ecstasy. Hidden within it is a very exacting and precise teaching, addressing with blazing clarity, humanity's current spiritual awakening." ~ Andrew Harvey, best selling author (The Way of Passion: A Celebration of Rumi), scholar, mystic

What happens to the guests who keep visiting the verse of a Perfect One?
Their voices and cells become refined. They gift back to the world
all the light they have received.
~ Hafiz

TESTIMONIALS

Thank you. I am deeply loved. I am deeply moved. All the teachings are in this poetry. ~ Sri Karunamayi

Gabrielle Young has honed her being and her art to the point where she is not merely a marvelous interpreter of Rumi's poems, but a transmitter of their sacred fire. Anyone who sees her performance will come away as I did, haunted by its pure and wild intensity, its unforced exaltation and its all-pervading atmosphere of reverence before the mystery of Divine Love. Gabrielle is an alchemist of movement, gesture, and word; she gifts a long draught of the Elixir of holy passion that turns the dross of being into the gold of truth.
