What is SEMA? Sema is a gathering rooted in the Sufi tradition that combines devotional chanting, live music and whirling dance meditation.
This whirling dervish tradition was founded by the 13th century mystic poet Rumi, whose poems of love and union with the divine spirit are still widely popular today.
Through the spinning movement and focus on the music, you allow the ego to subside. This tangible world starts to melt away and a greater sense of peace develops within. You remember that the divine life force is an inherent part of you. The experience can only be described as blissful. Participants leave feeling lighter, more at ease and peaceful.
Everyone is welcome in peace with an open heart and mind. We will send an instructional video about the practice to all ticket holders.
