Please join Hayra and Zarifah in the Shoreline Dances of Universal Peace at 7:30pm this Friday, Dec 14th, as we move through the year’s darkest days, and invoke the return of the Light!

We meet at Namaste Yoga Studio, 18021 15th Ave NE in Shoreline to sing and move prayerfully together, tuning in to the inner and outer transformation, and taking it out into the world. Hope to see you there!

On Monday, December 17th at 7:30pm, the day of Rumi’s final step into Union with the Beloved, known as Shebi-arus, Lovers of Rumi will gather for the Sema Ceremony. The Mevlevi Order of America in Seattle are offering a unique opportunity to participate directly in the Ceremony, Whirling, Walking or Watching according to your preference. The Seattle Mevlevis will be whirling around the circle, but you are welcome to turn in the center space, walk with us through the meditative beginning Mukabele (three revolutions of the floor, and bowing together ‘face to face’), or be in a state of Witness from the sides. Join us afterwards for tea and refreshments.

This is a rare chance to immerse yourself in the Ceremony and celebrate one history’s greatest Mystic Poets, Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi – Spiritual Teacher, Friend of Truth and Master of the Religion of Love. We hope to see you!
