2017 Annual conference
"This Vast Earth:
Ibn 'Arabi's Ecology of Consciousness"
November 10-11, 2017
UC Santa Barbara, California, USA
As one of history’s greatest universal mystics and interpreters of the human condition, Ibn ’Arabi’s teachings offer a window into a form of Islam that the West is rarely exposed to, as well as a more sophisticated understanding of the more exalted aspects of the Islamic cultural heritage.
This conference will explore Ibn 'Arabi's ideas on consciousness with particular focus on his articulation of the "Vast Earth" as a living reality, and the landscape through which the awakened human travels.
The Ibn 'Arabi Society is pleased to partner this year with the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at UCSB
