One of the most important elements of the rich Turkish culture, the Mevlevi Sema Ceremony is an 800-year old tradition known for its whirling dances and dervishes, complex musical repertoire, and rhythmic chants that represent the mystical journey of man’s spiritual ascent through mind and love to perfection. Established in 1999, The Whirling Dervishes Mekder Sufi Ensemble carries on this heritage that is among the most enduring and exquisite ceremonies of spirituality in the world.
