A Beshara Trust Seminar with Eric Winkel

"Mystic, philosopher, poet, sage, Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi (1165–1240) was one of the world’s great spiritual teachers.

Ibn Arabi was born in Murcia in Arab al-Andalus, and his writings had an immense impact throughout the Islamic world and beyond. The universal ideas underlying his thought are of immediate relevance today" (quoted from here)

Since 2012, Dr Eric Winkel has dedicated his life to the first-ever translation of and commentary on the entirety of Muḥyīddīn Muḥammad ibn al-ʿArabī’s al-Futūḥāt al-Makkīyah (The Openings Revealed in Makkah). Ten thousand pages of the original handwritten manuscript make up 37 books of the complete work. It is anticipated the project will be completed in 2028. For more details see here.

In this seminar he will discuss ibn ‘Arabi’s seminal work and its significance for us now.

Date: 4 November, 2-5pm
