Embracing the Universe Within: Insights from Rumi

Dear Friends and Supporters of The Hikmah Project,

As we usher in the month of February, we're inspired by the profound words of Jalaluddin Rumi, the 13th-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic, who reminds us, "You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop." This month, we embark on a journey to explore the depths of our individuality, the boundless potential within each of us, and how we mirror the vast, interconnected world around us.

Reflecting on Our Inner Universe

Rumi's words challenge us to rethink our place in the universe. Rather than seeing ourselves as insignificant or isolated, we are invited to recognize the immense world that resides within us. Each of us contains a microcosm of experiences, thoughts, and emotions that mirror the complexity and beauty of the world outside. This perspective empowers us to find connectivity, purpose, and a deeper understanding of our role in the fabric of existence.

The Hikmah Project Initiatives: A World of Impact

This month, The Hikmah Project is launching several initiatives that reflect our commitment to nurturing the vast oceans within each individual we reach:

  • Writing from the Heart: Explore the Sacred Silence as we enter deeper and write from deeper states of consciousness lead by Jamil Davies. There is one place left. Course starts 6th Feb 24.
Writing from the Heart Course with Jamila Davies - Feb 24
We are delighted to announce another six week writing course with Jamila Davies due to start in Feb 24. Writing for me is a process of opening to what T.S. Eliot calls “the still point of the turning world,” opening to the world of imagination where words appear on

  • Upcoming coures: Arabic Level 1 - self-paced. We will be launching our 'Arabic through Mystical texts course' in which you can study through the lessons in your own time at your own pace, and receive online video support in addition to 1-1 support if needed. Details to follow.
  • Upcoming Podcasts:
    • Signs on the Horizons with Michael Sugich - Earlier we spoke with author and Sufi gnositc Michael Sugich on the Sufi path and encounter with 40 saints. He offers timeless advice for the spiritual seeker
    • Secrets of the Shariah - Sh Dr Usama Hasan reads from the Futuhat e Makiyya of Ibn Arabi as his source of inspiration on the inner dimensions of the shariah - we begin by looking at Ibn Arabi's poem on purification.
