Course Content
Experience with Paramjyoti the mystical world of Whirling and Sema (Sufi ritual), where there is music, singing and dancing. Experience an approach that honors, transmits and goes beyond the traditional form, origin and spiritual path of Sufism, represented by musician and music therapist Herbert Walter.Our practice emphasizes on the heart. We connect with THAT, which is dearest and most essential to each of us.
Individual prayers emerge, form a common prayer and support the collective.
Sema is the experience and celebration of what truly moves us.
