The Book of Proverbs speaks of Lady Wisdom building a house of seven pillars. These seven pillars can be seen as seven stations that we all experience on the journey of life. What are these stations? What is their mystical meaning? This evening, Pir Zia will articulate an emerging vision of the seven pillars, their relationship to each other, and their shaping influence on our lives.
