Details
The fascinating ritual of ceremonial whirling, the Sema, was conceived in the ancient Turkish city of Konya in the 13rh century by the great Sufi mystic and poet Rumi. It is one of the most exquisite ceremonies in the world; a meditation in motion and a spiritual journey to commune with the Divine. The powerful and mesmeric music of the outstanding Mahvi Ensemble creates a state of intense spirituality that eases the minds of the dervishes toward meditation. By meditating on their love for the Divine, they transcend the ego, meet the truth and arrive at perfection in a surreal whirling trance movement where prayer meets art in a spellbinding visual spectacle.
