Sebi Arus Night and Whirling Dervishes Ceremony

Last Friday, we were able to attend Seb-i Arus Ceremonies in Istanbul. "Seb-i Arus" means Wedding Day as its the day of his reunion with his Beloved with the Divine.

Whirling Dervishes
Mevlana is very important Philosopher for us. Even today, the wisdom of this man who lived in the 13th century has earned him a place as one of the world’s bestselling poets.

The Ceremony started with the concert of Tasavvuf Musicians, who were dressed in traditional clothes.
