Sufi Zikr and Whirling
2025-06-28 19:30 - 21:00 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Mevlevi Sufi Zikr in the tradition of Rumi with Karim and Noor Kerima Payton, Suleyman Loras and musicians friends.
Join us for a magical experience of Mevlevi Sufi dancing and singing in celebration of Divine Presence. For over forty years, the Mevlevi Order of America has offered gatherings with music, poetry and dervish whirling and chanting. We will lead a Zikr practice in the tradition of Rumi.
The Mevlevi tradition hearkens back to Sufi master Rumi (1207-1273), who has become the best-selling poet in America. Rumi’s poetry is filled with a longing for God the Friend and the Beloved. His realization expressed the Source of all religions and spiritual paths, the Way of Love, that unites those of many cultures and traditions.
‘Zikhr’, a Sufi chanting practice, means ‘Remembrance of God’. It awakens us from the state of forgetfulness, forgetting why one has come to Earth. It is a channel opener which helps with attaining true knowledge.
The Musicians will share devotional music played on traditional instruments. Everyone attending a Zikr is a participant; as the gathering unfolds, all are tuned, by the music and language of the Heart, to the baraka (blessing)-filled atmosphere of love.
“When a human being performs zikr, their spirit—their heart starts to open. Their intelligence becomes more refined and more expansive. Their bodies become healthier. A beautiful condition comes about—similar to the one that is brought about by good music. The whole being opens up like a flower, and the divine secret—the things you couldn’t understand or know about before—begin to be revealed to you.”

Suleyman Hayati Dede, founder of the Mevlevi Order of America

Welcome to our Circle!
This is an independent cultural project created to strengthen community bonds, encourage artistic expression, and share the richness of Brazilian popular culture — with a special focus on Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous roots.
This Drum Circle was born with the intention of celebrating life through music, drumming, and dance — creating a vibrant space for artistic expression, community connection, and honoring traditional wisdom.
Inspired by the essence of traditional Drum Circles, we offer gatherings with our own unique flavor — rooted in respect, conscious references, and creative freedom. Here, the medicine of the drum is at the heart of the experience: a way to listen, express, and heal through rhythm.
What to expect from our gatherings:– An open space to dance, drum, sing, and co-create.– A guided environment with active listening and organic flow.– A focus on art and popular culture — no religious affiliations.– A welcoming and inclusive vibe — all are welcome, regardless of age, background, or belief.– Come with an open heart and mind.
What’s going down?A drum circle where we’ll open with a prayer to honor the power of nature and the 4 elements. Inside this sacred space, we’ll share knowledge, dance, music, and drums.
What to bring:– Musical instruments like drums, shakers, etc. (if you have any)– A water bottle– A small snack to share
Contribution:$16 | $23 | $32 – choose what feels right in your heart
Pre-registration is required – ContactCarol, send a message.
After we close the DRUM CIRCLE, we’ll open a Rapéh circle (only for those who feel called).AHOO
