In the heart of Istanbul, within the sacred walls of the Galata Mevlevi House, this recording brings to life the opening moments of the Mevlevi Sema Ceremony. The whirling dervishes begin their silent ritual, their robes swirling with each precise movement.
The space hums with reverence as their feet glide across the floor, initiating a sacred dance that echoes centuries of tradition. The atmosphere is thick with anticipation and devotion, every motion a step further into the spiritual journey, as the room holds its breath in awe of the ritual unfolding.
