--- title: "Mysticism Through Poetry's Tickets | San Francisco - Ticket Fairy" description: "MYSTICISM THROUGH POETRY SUN. FEB 9TH, 7PM-9PM AT MYSTIC, SF DOGPATCH (address with ticket) A poet is someone who can pour light into a cup, then raise it to nourish your beautiful, parched holy mouth. ~ Hafez During this 2-hour class, oshan anand will share poetry from Zen, Taoist, Sufi, Sikh, Hindu, Tantric, Islamic, Christian, and indigenous traditions, with biographical, historical, philosophical, and mystical context. Come early (6:30pm) and stay after (until 10pm) for free Gongfu Tea service. Why Mystical Poetry? Mysticism is the direct experience of our divine nature through ecstatic practice. A defining quality of mystical experience is its ineffability—it transcends language. Yet, it is exactly this impossible alchemical task which mystical poetry seeks to achieve - to lead us to a mystical experience, through symbolism, layering of meaning, density, transgression, alchemy, and magic. Mystical experiences can dissolve the ego, expand perception, nurture peace, and wake us up to our interconnectedness, leading to enhanced well-being, health, creativity, compassion, and a deeper sense of meaning and purpose. oshan anand oshan anand has been writing and reading poetry since childhood, and has been a lifelong student of diverse mystical traditions. From 2009-2012 oshan hosted Open Heart Poetry, a weekly poetry night at his San Francisco teahouse, Om Shan Tea.
