Course Content

Experience an approach that honors, transmits and goes beyond the traditional form, origin and spiritual orientation of Sufism - represented by musician and music therapist Herbert Walter.Spiritually, musically and dance-wise we want to span a wide arc. The focus is on the heart of each individual. The practice is for each to connect individually and at the same time all together with THAT which seems truly important and essential to us.
