Itinerary
The Sema, also known as the whirling dervishes, represent a mystical journey of a person's spiritual path towards maturity and greater perfection, enabling them to love and serve all of creation without discrimination based on belief or race. During the ceremony, the dervish opens his arms with his right hand directed towards the sky, ready to receive God's blessings, while his left hand is turned towards the earth, ready to give to the poor. He pivots from right to left, revolving around his heart, symbolizing the conveyance of God's spiritual gifts to those whom God "looks upon with divine grace".
As he turns his heart, from right to left, he embraces all of humanity and all of creation with love and affection. This spiritual ceremony, with its profound meaning and ambiance, will captivate you and potentially provide a way for you to understand the universe around us.
