De Lange Adem - Amsterdam Oost
donation 20€ / resident of De Lange Adem 7,50€

sharing • grounding • poetry • dance • afterglow with shared potluck dinner


We will share a movement meditation known as whirling, wervelen, dervish dance, sufi dance or sama (‘listening’). Opening up to listen to your body, to feel and allow surrender, devotion, beauty, ecstasy, joy and all that may present itself. Clearing and charging our electro-magnetic field by endlessly turning in circles.

Your way..
as long or as short, slow or fast
left or right, expressive or silent.
All are welcome, all is welcome.
Both beginners and experienced whirling dervishes.

Our evening will flow like:
17:30 - 18:00 arrival + tea
18:00 - 18:30 short sharing + change clothes
18:30 - 19:00 opening, grounding, breath
19:00 - 20:00 whirling
20:00 - 21:30 closing + afterglow with shared potluck dinner, time to ground and connect

• there is space for 10 movers •

How to prepare:
- bring a comfortable (wide & long) skirt + top or dress/djellaba if you have. We dress light in white. I have whirling costumes available for you to wear as well.
- dancing/whirling shoes with leather soles, socks - or you go barefoot. Give all a try and see what works best for you.
- bring something yummy to share for our potluck dinner after the whirling
