Whirling Sema - Open to all May 1, 2010

Free admission, RSVP's welcomed but not required.

Krys and Shamsi will be hosting a Whirling and Chanting Sema for Healing at Crescent Lotus Dance Studio (3143 Calhoun St., NOLA/ www.crescentlotus.com). There is no cost for this.

Whirling and chanting are two healing traditions within Sufism and they are accessible to all peoples for grounding and healing. Detailed instructions within a safe and supportive environment will be provided at the opening of this session. Ample time will be given for all to whirl. NOTE: Studio doors will be locked at 5:20pm. Please do not be late.

Please bring a sweater or blanket as whirling can make you want something to snuggle with when you are done and chanting is often nice when wrapped up in warmth. Attire should be comfortable and unbinding. Full skirts are great but not necessary. You may also want to bring water and if you would like to bring fruit or chocolate to share, even better. While we will officially end the session as close to 7:00 as possible, there will be no rush to vacate the studio.

If you know of anyone who may find this remembrance option to be a healing one, please pass along the info.
