Sufi Wisdom into Lived Experience

Sufi Wisdom into Lived Experience (originally called Journey to the Real by Cubic Wisdom Project) is an exploration through poetry of how we all might “live” the wisdom of Sufi poetry. Poetry has a special place in accessing the Divine within. My own poetry is inspired by the timeless teachings of Sufi poets and mystics - Rumi, Ibn Arabi, Yunus Emre and others.  The videos are accompanied by the original musical compositions of Amir Etemadzadeh. 

The podcasts explore the deeper meanings behind poems and intimate conversations with guest artists and poets on their creative process and source of inspiration. 

Also expect short explorations of philosophical and Sufi related topics.

I am a Professor Emerita at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey and a published author and poet. My recent book of poetry is called “In Wonder (Hayret) in English and Turkish.
