Our Gatherings

Where the whirling path begins and the inner journey unfolds.

What to expect:

This workshop is an invitation to cross the threshold into the profound world of Sufism and Rumi's path. It is designed for those who feel a calling toward the deep, the sacred, and the rhythmic. We begin at the beginning, laying the foundation for a journey that spans from the stillness of the heart to the ecstatic movement of the soul.
