sharing • grounding • poetry • dance • afterglow with 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..

left or right, expressive or silent.
All are welcome, all is welcome.
Both beginners and experienced whirling dervishes.

20:00 - 21:00 closing + afterglow with potluck dinner, time to ground and connect

How to prepare:
- bring a comfortable (wide & long) skirt + top or dress/djellaba if you have. 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. I have whirling shoes in several sizes available to use.
