Whirling Dervishes of Rumi

San Diego Dialog Society is bringing one of the wonders of Turkey to San Diego: “Whirling Dervishes of Rumi”. Whirling Dervishes perform one of the most exquisite ceremonies of spirituality.<br><br>A mesmerizing seven-century old ritual. Incredible performance featuring beautiful costumes, hypnotic live music with flutes, strings and percussion, and the amazing sight of the Dervishes whirling on the stage.<br><br>The ritual unites the three fundamental components of human nature: the mind (as knowledge and thought), the heart (through the expression of feelings, poetry and music), and the body (by activating life, by turning). These three elements are thoroughly joined both in theory and in practice and as perhaps in no other ritual or system of thought. Experiencing the Whirling Dervishes is like being transported on a magic carpet ride, with the exotic music creating a sense of inner rapture.
