SUMMARY:Meeting Ibn Arabi: His Life and Teachings
DESCRIPTION:MIAS Education Team is offering this course as a guided group exploration into Ibn Arabi´ s life and teachings\, based on the book by Claude Addas\, The Voyage of No Return. The course is open to all and is designed especially for those less familiar with Ibn Arabi. You might be considering joining one of our Voyage courses and would like to ‘meet’ Ibn Arabi as a preparation. We also welcome those already acquainted with Ibn Arabi’s work and wish to know more about his life and the context within which he lived\, traveled\, and wrote. \nSaturday 25th January 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm GMT with a half-hour break \nSunday 26th January 5:00 pm- 8:30 GMT with a half-hour break \nIntroductory Video \nhttps://youtu.be/c8FnWl0O5Eg \nImage ‘”Ibn Arabi on his mule addressing students in the 21st century” by Yasmin Hayat \n\n\n\n\nContent and Method\nThe book consists of twelve fairly short chapters. Participants will be required to read the material before the session and to note any questions they have. During the sessions\, we will discuss any questions and clarify concepts and terminology. Additional excerpts from other works may enrich our understanding during the sessions. We invite you to share any inspiration or thoughts about the text. This course is not composed of lectures and it is not an academic study. Rather\, it is an interactive group discussion and a personal engagement with Ibn Arabi. We hope that it thereby serves as a small taster for the Voyage courses. \nThe course will consist of two sessions Saturday and Sunday. Each session will last 1.5 hours\, with a half-hour break\, giving a total of six hours. \nThe book can be bought here: https://its.org.uk/catalogue/ibn-arabi-the-voyage-of-no-return-paperback/ \nor from Amazon: \nhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Ibn-Arabi-Voyage-No-Return/dp/1911141406/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21GG8H6JBU4Z2&keywords=Voyage+of+no+return&qid=1691926854&sprefix=voyage+of+no+return%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-1

SUMMARY:Arabic-English Language Exchange: Meet Up
DESCRIPTION:كل سنة وأنتم بخير/Happy New Year!\nLet’s meet late Saturday morning for some coffee and a chat in Arabic! Then we’ll head over to SOUK\, a pop-up market for Arab artists and makers.\nYalla see you soon! \nThis group was born out of a seeming lack of in-person Arabic language exchanges and/or cultural events in Seattle. Whether you’re a beginner or fluent in Arabic and/or English\, come join our Arabic-English Language Exchange Meetup group! Connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for Arabic language and culture. \nThe core of this group will be focused on language exchange\, but we can keep our eye out for any cultural events in Seattle (like film screenings\, food\, etc.) relevant to Arabic\, too.

SUMMARY:Movie: From Ground Zero at the Grand Illusion
DESCRIPTION:Shortlisted for Best International Feature for the 2025 Academy Awards\, FROM GROUND ZERO is an anthology project comprised of 22 short films created by filmmakers from Gaza. Launched by renowned Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi\, the initiative was created during the current 2023/2024 conflict and aims to provide a platform for young Palestinian artists to express themselves through their craft. \nEach film\, ranging in length from three to six minutes\, presents a unique perspective on the current reality in Gaza. The project captures the diverse experiences of life in the Palestinian enclave\, including the challenges\, tragedies\, and moments of resilience faced by its people. Using a mix of genres including fiction\, documentary\, docu-fiction\, animation\, and experimental cinema\, From Ground Zero presents a rich diversity of stories that reflect the sorrow\, joy\, and hope inherent in Gazan life. \nDespite harsh filming conditions\, Gaza’s vibrant artistic scene shines through this stunning anthology film\, which offers an intimate and powerful portrait of daily life in modern-day Palestine – and the enduring spirit of its people. \nIn Arabic with English subtitles. \n“The fact that this film even exists seems miraculous… [From Ground Zero] aims to humanize\, to empathize\, to go beyond the headlines and geopolitics. It aims to convey the hopes and dreams of everyday people\, which persist even in dire circumstances.” Jennifer Green\, Alliance of Women Film Journalists \n“A powerful cry to the world that these filmmakers\, collaborators\, and people walking in the background are still there\, still living under worsening conditions\, and still need help. From Ground Zero is an unforgettable exhibition of the human spirit.” Monica Castillo\, RogerEbert.com \n\n\nSaturday\, Jan 25\, 2025\, 4:15pm
