At the beginning of 2025, we gather beneath the soft glow of inspiration to celebrate Aghaz—the beginning, the spark, the gentle breath that ignites all our possibilities.May your own creative fire burn brighter, fueled by this eternal spark of new beginnings in the new year.
A few lines of Ahmad Faraz to inspire us:
ishq āġhāz meñ halkī sī ḳhalish rakhtā hai
baad meñ saikḌoñ āzār se lag jaate haiñ
A little anxiety persists when we first fall in love
But a thousand sufferings are in waiting to befall later
Through the voices and words of poets who have masterfully captured these metaphors, we will reflect on the new beginnings - Aghaz.
Whether you come to listen, share, or write, your presence adds to the rich tapestry of voices that make this gathering a memorable and inspiring experience.
You're encouraged to bring a poem that speaks to you – whether it's one you've written or one that you admire. We invite you to bring any letters, poetry, and literature from any worldwide language, including their translations and interpretations.
We will translate poems from the original language into English as best as possible with the group's help. We go with the flow of conversations beyond the theme during our gathering.
