Cerimônia de dervis de Whirling de Istambul, uma experiência mística sufista
Descrição
A cerimônia do Dervixe Giratório em Istambul é uma prática espiritual hipnotizante e cativante que ocorre há séculos. É um antigo ritual sufi que se originou no século 13 com a fundação da Ordem Mevlevi pelo poeta persa Rumi. A cerimônia ocorre em um cenário místico, geralmente em um salão bonito e ornamentado conhecido como tekke. O tekke é enfeitado com tapetes, velas e outros objetos simbólicos que compõem o ambiente do evento. O público se reúne em antecipação, ansioso para testemunhar a experiência profunda e mística que está prestes a acontecer. Os Dervixes Rodopiantes, também conhecidos como semazen, vestem-se com as tradicionais túnicas brancas, simbolizando a pureza e o desapego dos bens materiais. Eles usam chapéus altos de feltro chamados sikkes, representando as lápides do ego, que eles removem antes de executar a dança. Os dervixes entram no salão em procissão, criando uma atmosfera etérea enquanto vão tomando seus lugares lentamente.

I did not know much about this until I experienced it. It was a great learning experience while in Istanbul!
What an experience ! The ambience of the atmosphere was wonderful. The lighting and verses that go along with the whirling dervish show were a nice touch
Dear Guest, what a beautiful way to describe it! 🌀 We're so glad the lighting and the verses added that extra layer of depth to the ceremony. The Whirling Dervish experience truly is unlike anything else. We hope to welcome you back for another spiritual and mesmerising evening very soon! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team
Beautiful experience that made me realise how spiritual the dance is and reason for it.Wonderful and excellent location
Dear Guest, thank you for these beautiful words! 🌀 It's truly special when the Whirling Dervish ceremony touches you on a deeper level and reveals its spiritual meaning. That connection is exactly what makes this experience so unique. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team
It is something personal, you need to experience it for yourself. This was my second time. You should try it.
Dear Guest, thank you for the thoughtful words! 😊 We couldn't agree more, some experiences simply have to be lived firsthand. The fact that this was your second time means the world to us! We hope to welcome you back for a third time very soon! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team
WOW. WOW. WOW! What an AMAZING experience seeing the Whirling Dervishes was! I highly recommend this experience on every level - cultural, spiritual, or even just as a curious tourist. The fact that it was a full Whirling Dervish Ceremony (running approx. an hour) with singing, live musicians, and probably a good 45-minutes out outstanding whirling dervish movement (I hesitate to call it 'dancing,' because it's not - it's so much more meaningful and deeper than that) by 5 highly trained and professional Dervishes made for an evening we will never forget, and will absolutely return back to do again. As the Dervishes enter their trances, you can't help but get caught up in the moment. It's very hypnotizing and you're absolutely caught up in the moment. And the venue is PERFECT for this - it's authentic, unique, and every single seat has an amazing view. What an incredible evening. BTW, Tourmania did a wonderful job putting this experience together. They were awesome at answering any questions I had quickly, and made the experience so enjoyable. When you're in a new city seeing an event, you really want to be informed and kept in the loop of every detail, and they did just that. (PS - When you go, read the posters in the lobby area to get a little background on why the Dervishes whirl, and what the ceremony is about. It'll heighten your experience tenfold.)
Dear Guest, What a beautifully written review, thank you so much! Your description of the ceremony is truly moving and we're so glad it left such a profound impression. The tip about reading the lobby posters is wonderful advice for future guests. Really glad Tourmania's communication made everything so seamless. Hope to welcome you back again someday! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team
It was a very meditative experience - highly recommended
Liebe/r Gast, Vielen Dank! Ein meditatives Erlebnis, das ist eine wunderschöne Beschreibung. Wir freuen uns, dass es Ihnen so gut gefallen hat und hoffen, Sie bald wiederzusehen! Herzliche Grüße 🧿 Tourmania Team
Going to see the whirling dervish was an education. The map was very helpful to find the location. The event was approximately one hour in duration. The waiting area had many explanations about the people and the commitment required to participate. There was music and ceremonial carpets laid out for the dancers. Well worth the time to see such dedication to their religion. I left with a better understanding of the significance of the dance.
Dear Guest, Thank you for this thoughtful review! The Whirling Dervish ceremony really is a deeply educational and moving experience and we're so glad you left with a greater understanding of its significance. Really glad the waiting area displays added that extra layer of context. Hope to welcome you back again someday! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team
Rather tedious and monotonous performance. Perhaps I need more spiritual growth to enjoy it but cannot recommend. I saw a lot of people dozing off, one gentleman had a full fledged nap. There was some seat number system that made no sense. The edges were filled with people while the seats close to the stage were left empty.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your honest feedback. The Whirling Dervish ceremony is indeed a deeply spiritual and meditative experience which may not appeal to everyone and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. Your point about the seating arrangement is a valid one and we will pass it on to the venue. We hope to have the chance to offer you a different experience someday! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team
A great way to either start or end your day. It was such a blessing to get to see this practice. It was beautiful and hypnotizing to see. The movements, singing, and music were enchanting. I also liked getting to enter the museum early to learn more before the whirling started. The cultural center was also a gorgeous venue. Do this before you leave!
Dear Guest, What a beautifully written review, thank you! The Whirling Dervish ceremony really is one of those experiences that stays with you long after it ends. Really glad the museum added that extra layer of understanding before the performance began. A gorgeous venue, enchanting movements and music, we couldn't describe it better ourselves. Hope to welcome you back again someday! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team
This was a great excursion! It was very respectful of the culture and my husband and I were thrilled that there was absolutely no videotaping/photos/applause. It allowed us to appreciate the entire ceremony! A small note…go early to find out where it is before it starts and to view the things in the museum. The cultural center is located down a narrow side street. Best to be sure where you are going! (We walked from the cruise ship port since we were overnight in Istanbul…it was a bit of a hike…but totally worth every step!)
Dear Guest, Thank you for the wonderful review! You make such a great point about the no photos and applause rule, it really does allow everyone to be fully present and appreciate the ceremony as it was intended. Your tips about arriving early and finding the cultural center are so helpful for future guests. Worth every step of the hike by the sounds of it! Hope to welcome you back again someday! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team
