750 years ago, the great teacher Jelaluddin Rumi stepped out of this world. He left behind a trail of light that continues to unite people of all beliefs: “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there”. Come celebrate the enlightened wisdom and vision of a man who saw in his own time of darkness how the lamps may be different but the light the same.

Ashley Ramsden is the founder of the School of Storytelling (UK) and has performed all over the world. Ramsden’s telling of Dickens’ Christmas Carol is a festive favourite in The Hague for almost 20 years.
