However, you may first want to click the following link if you are wondering: What is a Baha'i Fireside?
Also, if you have any questions, scroll down to see where you can send us a message. We are happy and eager to assist you in exploring The Baha'i Faith.

We typically hold Firesides on the first Friday of each month. Hosted by Katrina and Nafeh Fananapazir at their home: 1343 Michigan Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45208 (Hyde Park area) at 6:30pm.

There are some rare exceptions when the Fireside does not happen on the first Friday, so please call ahead to be sure it hasn't changed. (513) 305-3135

Reflections on the Life of the Spirit
All are welcome to join us in this Baha'i Ruhi Institute discussion where we will reflect upon the nature of prayer, and the mystery of life after death.
In the context of these themes, participants explore such concepts as:
-
the relationship between words and deeds
-
truthfulness to burnish character
-
unity of mankind
-
communicating with respect
-
what constitutes prayer, why it is essential, and its effects
-
the relationship between the soul and the body
-
the relationship between the contingent and the eternal realms
-
the purpose of earthly existence
-
the inherent nobility and dignity of the human being
-
the role of Divine Educators.
Join us on this seeker’s path
to rejuvenate yourself
to know your spiritual being
to live better with others
to glimpse Baha’u’llah’s World Vision
to share and to listen.
We plan to meet monthly on Zoom on the third Wed of each month.
Email: linettekuy@gmail.com for date of the next meeting and Zoom invite.
[no cost; books are provided]
To read the Sacred Word is to drink from the ocean of Divine Revelation.
It leads to true spiritual understanding and generates forces that are necessary for the progress of the soul.
