"I once had a thousand desires, but in my one desire to know You, all else melted away." – Rumi We invite you to join us as we turn inward in reflection and devotion for a special Sema Ceremony, an evening of prayer, music, whirling, and remembrance. This gathering will take place at Bard College - students and faculty from the university will be present, but we are welcome to bring our group (up to 20 people). Schedule: - Doors Open: 6PM - Sema Begins: 6:30 PM Sema is a tradition rooted in Sufism that combines devotional chanting, live music, and whirling meditation. It was founded by the 13th-century mystic Rumi, whose poetry speaks of love, longing, and union with the Divine. Through the spinning movement and the power of sound, the ego dissolves, and the tangible world fades away, revealing the deep peace that has always been within. Whether you come to whirl, chant, or simply sit in stillness and listen, you are welcome. No prior experience is needed, just an open heart. Join us in this sacred night of sound, movement, and remembrance.
