Step into the mystical world of Mevlana and witness one of Turkey’s most profound spiritual traditions with the Whirling Dervish Show in Cappadocia. Set in the magical landscapes of this ancient region, this authentic Sema ceremony invites you to experience the deep philosophy of love, unity, and spiritual transformation.
The Whirling Dervish ceremony, or Sema, is a symbolic spiritual journey that represents man's ascent through love, finding truth, and achieving unity with the divine. Every movement, from the flowing white robes (symbolizing the shroud of the ego) to the tall hats (symbolizing the tombstone of the self), carries deep meaning. The continuous turning represents the embrace of all humanity with love and service.
