Come, dance with me, come, dance!
\nHafiz<\/i><\/p>\n

Course Content<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Our practice emphasizes on the heart. We connect with THAT, which is dearest and most essential to each of us.
\nIndividual prayers emerge, form a common prayer and support the collective.<\/p>\n

Sema is the experience and celebration of what truly moves us.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/h2>\n

In addition to the whirling known from the Sufi tradition, we learn alternative ways of using dance as a prayer. Anyone is welcome to participate, regardless of physical fitness level or health condition.<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
