Sufi Music, Dance, and Tales Performance
Often defined as the mystical or esoteric strand of Islam, Sufism’s defining feature is the centrality of the individual’s direct relationship with God. It’s a way of life in which a deeper identity is discovered and lived. This deeper identity, beyond the already known personality, is in harmony with all that exists.
During this magical evening, Esteban Valdivia (Argentina) and Gustavo Perez (Colombia) will play sacred Sufi music while Erika Dederle (Colombia) will enter into the sacred whirling dervish dance that has been practiced for centuries. The whirling dervish is an active mediation practice performed within a worship ceremony through which dervishes aim to reach the source of all perfection, or dharma.
The evening will be rounded out with the reading of Sufi tales.
