Rumi Compassion Night:
A Celebration of Love and Unity

The Power of Art and Community
Our community members across the United States, from Houston to Los Angeles and New York City, embraced the spirit of love by distributing roses to 750 individuals, inviting them to join the celebration. This gesture of goodwill was not only an invitation but a symbol of the beauty and connection that Rumi’s words inspire. Each rose carried the essence of Rumi’s teachings – to spread love and compassion in a world in desperate need of both.
Reflecting on Rumi's Wisdom
The night commenced with co-hosts Esra Nur and Zey Zey expressing the deep connection Rumi’s words have with our quest for understanding and love. They eloquently introduced the significance of Rumi’s work and the relevance it holds in today’s world, urging participants to use the compass of compassion to guide their actions and intentions.
