Whirling

 
 

Invitation to Whirl is loosely based upon the Dervish order of Sufis who whirl as part of their practice.

Whirling to realign the bodies electrical impulses, purify the body and re-align the body with the universe is a powerful experience.

Simple instructions will be given for those who have never whirled.

This is a very calming and accesible way of helping push toxins out of the body, slowing the mind and finding your center.

Besides whirling, we may chant the ziker or read from the writing of Rumi or Hafiz, two great Sufi poets. There will also be time for sharing our experiences.

Please bring water. Mats and blankets are available but if you have a favorite shawl or blanket, bring it. Full circle skirts can be useful but are not necessary.

Donations accepted at the door.
