Testimonials
“I was invited to a Study Circle called Ruhi Book One. I didn’t really know what it was — but I loved the community building, and learning about what the soul is. It was refreshingly different.”
“My brother invited me to his friend’s Study Circle. I loved the way the Baha’is really engage me. They want to know what I think and it’s all very collaborative learning.”
