Sema

Sema – a whirling meditation

“I once had a thousand desires, but in my one desire to know you, all else melted away.” – Rumi

This whirling dervish meditation comes from the tradition of Sufi whirling, of which the 11th century mystical poet Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi was a founder. We start with a short explanation of how to do it and what the chants mean, and we then go into the moving meditation. We usually have live musicians play for us as we whirl. Everyone is welcome in peace with an open heart and mind, even if you’ve never whirled before.
