Where music and whirling meet

Once a month we meet in order to explore the dimensions of the whirling ritual, as we allow the music to emerge from the dancers themselves.
 
Dive with us into the mystical world, by practising meditation, singing together, a physical warm up, doing exercises which prepare us for whirling, deep relaxation and the practice of whirling itself. Paramjyoti will transmit this aesthetic form of her intuitive whirling, a school for our body-mind-spirit and soul connection.
 
Listening to our breath, we get in touch with the puls and rhythm which emerges from within, as we embark on our pilgrimage. Unlike in traditional Sema known from Sufi traditions, we as the dancers also make the music ourselves. For this purpose, we sing the names of “the Beloved” from various traditions, illahis, mantras and songs.

Time: 4-7pm, please come timely at 3.45 pm or at 5.15 pm. Thank you.
