About this event

The event

The 23 October roundtable at the Shems'y School of Arts and Crafts explores how trials, suffering and transformation are expressed in major sacred texts. It forms part of the Fez Festival's intellectual programme, which connects poetic language with spiritual reflection.

Artistic and cultural context

The subject directly echoes the 2026 theme of mystical poetry and healing. The listing does not provide a verified speaker panel or a definitive reading list, so Culturama avoids attributing specific interpretations to unconfirmed participants.

Visitor information

The eighteenth Fez Festival of Sufi Culture and World Wisdom runs 17–24 October 2026 under the theme 'Mystical Poetry, an Elixir of Healing'.
