About This Event

The shared reading group at The Standard Building in Carlisle will explore Rumi’s poetry on 29 August 2026.

Join us for a relaxed and supportive small-group session exploring the poems of Rumi and our connection to them

In this session we will explore the poems of Rumi, inviting conversation, reflection and creative engagement.

Shared reading is about connection and engagement - not accuracy or analysis. Readers of all abilities are welcome, and no previous experience is needed.

The session will take place in The Green Room at The Standard, 139 High Street, Dumfries. This room is accessed via The Standard Close. The venue has step free access and accessible toilets.

This free event is run by Midsteeple Quarter and Narrative, supported by Dumfries & Galloway council. Narrative is an emerging shared reading organisation based in Dumfries and Galloway, dedicated to helping people engage with literature in meaningful and therapeutic ways. Sessions will be led by shared reading facilitator Lauren McDaid.
