Ibn ‘Arabi Study Day

May 25, 2019 (11am–5pm)
The October Gallery, 24 Old Gloucester Street, London WC1N 3AL

A day of study of the chapter on ‘The Wisdom of Beneficence in the Word of Loqman’ from Ibn ‘Arabi’s Fusus al-Hikam (The Bezels of Wisdom).

Event Description

This is the latest in a series of meetings comprising study and discussion of the work of the great spiritual teacher, Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi. The aim of our study is to nurture a sentiment for self-knowledge, rather than for any academic benefit.

No previous knowledge of Ibn ‘Arabi’s writings is needed. The study is designed for both new and long-term students.

In this meeting we shall read from the chapter on The Wisdom of Beneficence in the Word of Loqman from Ibn ‘Arabi’s seminal work, Fusus al-Hikam, “…the quintessence of his spiritual teaching”. We shall be using the incomparable translation of Bulent Rauf with commentary.

Please note the early start: we are starting at 11am so that we can read the whole chapter without time pressure. A light lunch will be provided.

The Joy of Embodiment

18th April, 2021
15:00 – 16:30 BST

An online seminar with Andreas Weber

Matter. Is it not just “stuff”? Or can it be said to be experiencing as well in some way? In our embodied existences we are at the same time matter (our physical body) and we have an experiencing standpoint. We hence can say something about the joys (and sorrows) of being matter. I will try to sketch a picture of perception not as representation of things, but as co-creation in a “poetic space”.
