The documentary film Rumi: Turning Ecstatic, will be screened Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. in the Comox United Church hall at 250 Beach Dr. in Comox.
This one-hour film follows the spiritual journey of Tina Petrova after a near-death experience in 1997. She became fascinated with the philosophy and haunting poetry of 13th century Sufi mystic Mevlana Jellaludin Rumi.
Her quest eventually culminated in a major conference on Rumi in Toronto with his foremost translator, Coleman Barks.
The film will be shown by the Comox United Church in partnership with the Comox Valley Unitarian Fellowship. Light refreshments will be served. Admission is by donation.
