Celebrating 10+ Years of Womenspirit!

WomenSpirit is an ecumenical collaboration of Twin Cities organizations sponsoring events that explore and reflect women’s spirituality. We seek to promote interconnectedness between people of all races, cultures and religions. Called to a collaborative form of leadership, we rely mostly on volunteers. Our programs over the past ten years have included authors, poets, liturgical dancers, biblical scholars, teachers, spiritual directors, historians, pastors, rabbis and laywomen.

In November WomenSpirit and Wisdom Ways Center for Spirituality hosted a weekend with:

Fatemeh Keshavarz

A weekend filled with the passionate poetry and spiritual background of Rumi, a 13th century Muslim mystic.

Rumi scholar, Fatemeh Keshavarz, weaves threads of hope through Rumi’s poetry that speak to the spiritual longing of our time.

WomenSpirit, Wisdom Ways Center for Spirituality and St. Catherine's University hosted Fatemeh Keshavarz for two events featuring readings of Rumi poetry by Fatemeh Keshavarz, accompanied by the beautiful vocals of Jessika Kenney.
