A circle of stories, reflections, and song

Love has many forms — gentle, fiery, divine, human. Inspired by The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak and the timeless words of Rumi, this baithak is a space to pause, listen, and share. Together, we will reflect on love through:

✨ Stories from the book and our own lives ✨ Baatein (conversations) on what love means to us in its many shades ✨ Anubhav (experiences) of holding love in community ✨ A closing song in Farsi — a gift from Rumi’s verses

This gathering is not a lecture, but a collective holding — a chance to sit in circle, share from the heart, and let all of us find a community to hold and share our experiences of love.
