Rumi is the poet of mystical love. In this workshop we open our souls to the mystic intensity of Rumi’s verse and combine it with the Sufi tradition of whirling dervish dancing. Using his poetry as inspiration, we will go into a “trance-like state” to uncover the love within us, dance with the universe, and laugh with the knowledge that we are connected in Love that transcends time, culture, and ego. Awaken your soul to the Divinity of Love!
