This session will explore the path of the mystic, through songs and stories from Bhakti and Sufi poets. Mystic poets such as Kabir, Bulleshah, Meera and others point us to a reality beyond the ordinary one, which can be experienced within the contours of the human form. Through their songs, poetry and the examples of their lives, they force us to confront our true nature and redefine our ideas of love, joy, freedom and death.
