Workshop: Blowing Sufi Music Instrument “Ney”, end-blown flute

Workshop with Whirling Dervishes – Mevlevi Sema Ritual

The Mevlevi Sema Ritual was a synthesis of spiritual love attained by a combination of music and whirling, and was considered to be the basic requirement for spiritual devotion.

Whirling dervishes are members of the Mevlevi order and followers of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi, a great Turkish poet and mystic. The Mevlevi brotherhood is based in Konya, Turkey, where its founder is buried.

Mevlana was never the head of an order, and the brotherhood was not established by Mevlana himself but by his followers and devoted companions.

The Mevlevi order derived its essence, rites, moral code and discipline from the mystical path first shown by Mevlana.

You will be taken to a different world. After this short introduction, you can later read more from Rumi and know more.

Participants will receive complimentary Quick Guide Pamphlets on this topic.
