Ziraat—Roots and Shoots

Subtitle: Exploring 100 Years of an Agricultural Mystery School

Second Fridays, September – December, 2025

5:00 pm - 6:30 pm ET (New York); 11:00 - 12:30 pm CET (Paris)

Overview

Previous Dar-us-Salams (Vice Presidents) of the Ziraat Activity have been invited to speak about Ziraat and ways it has developed over the past 100 years from the agricultural based symbology “mystery school” established by Murshid, to an evolving deep awareness of the “sacred book of nature” as a teacher and interdependent “Spiritual Being.” In this way we seek to serve the changing needs of the planet, eco-systems, and societies today. We look forward to hearing an array of perspectives, insights, and visioning from these leaders, who each have helped shape Ziraat as we experience it today – in North America and Oceania.
