In this episode of Global Spirit, host Phil Cousineau explores the ecstatic state — a global phenomenon found in all kinds of spiritual, religious, and wisdom traditions. Cousineau is joined by guests Sobonfu Somé, author and teacher of African spirituality, and Andrew Harvey, a British scholar specializing in the works and teachings of Jalaluddin Rumi.
This episode includes unique video footage of a Sufi Zikr ceremony in Turkey – the practice of remembrance that brings participants to an ecstatic state of connection with God.
Actress Priscilla Smith, who has taught at Columbia University, and read recently at the cafe, as well as in Boston, Toronto and Philadelphia, from the works of spiritual seeker and author Rene Daumal, will host a post-film discussion.
