Host Your Own Rumi Night

Rumi Night is a monthly sacred gathering where poetry, whirling, breath, and music come together.

In an intimate, heart-centered setting, we explore Rumi’s words through:

A performance at Rumi Night at the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. features musicians playing traditional instruments and a dancer in a white flowing dress on stage, with a large screen displaying event details and a stylized image of Rumi.

  • Guided meditation

  • Whirling and gentle movement

  • Storytelling and reflection

  • Spiritual music and silence

A sacred evening of whirling, poetry, & community.
