Mysticism and Dance of the Dervish
Mysticism and Dance of the Dervish
Week 3B, August 7th – 13th, 2022
Let my soul reflect, Beloved, the beauty of Thy color and form.
– Hazrat Inayat Khan
The mysticism of the Sufis, the dance of the Dervishes, ecstasy, silence, beauty and thankfulness all lead our hearts to resonate and our lives to blossom, our bodies to dance and our being to happiness and bliss.
We’ll allow ourselves to be guided into our innermost, sacred space. Through moving and silent meditation, zikr, chants, invocations, mystical relaxation and the dance of the whirling dervishes, we seek to touch the divine soul, the divine beauty, so that this beauty may be reflected in our being. We’ll look to release and free ourselves from limitations that separate us, allowing healing and wholeness to happen.
We’ll share the ancient ritual of the whirling Dervishes, the practice of the dance, learn the form to then again release it and dive into the depth, the essence of this form of prayer.
