In Three Mystics Walk into a Tavern, Jalal ad-Din Rumi, Moses de Leon, and Meister Eckhart—three of the greatest mystics of all time—meet in Venice for an imaginary night-long conversation that will inspire everyday people of the 21st century to find their own spirituality and realize that everyone can be a mystic. Although the three mystics came from different religious traditions (Islam, Judaism, and Christianity), their spiritual paths led them to similar understandings of union with the Divine. Their timeless and timely message resonates even eight centuries later and connects us with the “divine spark” deep within us and within the universe.

Participants will need to purchase or borrow their own copies of the paperback book, available for $38.
