Sema — Listen, Spin, Open

Duration: 2.5 hours.

Following our first meeting in Batumi, we continue the space of sema — through music, movement, and immersion.

Sema is a Sufi spiritual listening practice where music, poetry, and movement turn inward to the center.

This evening we will devote more time to the practice of spinning. We will explore how to find your axis, maintain balance, work with hand and foot positions, direct your gaze, and enter a state of continuous movement.

Program includes:
• Brief introduction to the sema tradition
• Live Sufi music
• Detailed introduction to spinning technique
• Practice of axis, balance, and attention
• Group spinning to live music
• Dhikr

Ahmet & Sâfiye are musicians and practitioners performing Sufi music.

Attire for practice: loose and comfortable. Bring socks or special footwear for spinning.
