This spiritual journey, which continues for generations, is the opportunity to watch a magnificent Whirling Dervish Ceremony that many people come to Turkey to see and that really must be witnessed, with its mystical nature in a completely rock-carved place.
The Mevlevi Whirling Dervish Ceremony or in an other saying Sema Ritual, consisting of four sections and seven chapters, lasts at least 45 minutes. The durations of the composed Sema Ritual (whirling dervish ceremony), varying according to the musical modes, are exactly the same as the practices implemented during the reign of His Excellency Mevlana and His Excellency Sultan Veled in their Sufi dimension. The executive committee are people who have been trained in the training and etiquette of the dervish lodge and perform the ritual in a secular manner. The Sema delegation offers the Sema Rite in accordance with the circular published by the Ministry of Culture. At the end of the Sema show, guests are chatted and served traditional Turkish drink called ‘Serbet’ after the ceremony concludes.
“God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches you by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly - not one.” - Mevlana Rumi.
You should definitely attend the traditional whirling dervish ceremony
