Talk: ‘Ibn al-'Arabi's Meeting with the Ka'bah’ at The School of Sufi Teaching

The School of Sufi Teaching is delighted to be hosting Dr. Shu'ayb Eric Winkel, who has dedicated his life to translating and providing commentary on the entirety of Ibn al-ʿArabī’s al-Futūḥāt al-Makkīyah, a monumental 37-book work, with a completion date in 2028.

Dr Eric Winkel leads us into the world of Ibn Arabi and his meeting with the Kaʿbah and the Youth. We will see how this was a life-changing event, and one which Ibn Arabi uses to encourage us to also be receptive to such a life-changing moment. We follow his path of discovery of the heart and the soul, in this meeting. Ibn Arabi's account of the meeting is inspiration for those traveling inwardly and outwardly to the Ka'bah.

Dr. Eric Winkel will give a 45-minute talk plus plenty of time to cater for any questions during a Q&A session.

During this event, he also has the privilege of showcasing mesmerizing calligraphy from the renowned calligrapher Haji Noor Deen.

After the talk, participants have the option to stay for a 45 minute silent Sufi meditation, followed by tea.
