The Turning Practice of The Whirling Dervishes

All are welcome. No experience necessary. From the tradition of the great love poet Rumi, these classes provide instruction in the whirling practice which polishes the heart, clears the mind, and trains the body to participate in wordless prayer.
The format of the classes will usually include warm-up exercises, then turning instruction, Zikr, and/or other aspects of Mevlevi Sufi tradition such as teachings from Rumi.
First class by donation. There is a fee for ongoing classes, however, a tight budget should not prevent participation.
Contact vnkpayton@gmail.com for more information, or if in doubt about cancellation due to weather.

There will be LIVE performances by Nyjah DiOrganizah and Jah Rico, who both released a steady stream of singles in 2025/6. There will be a toast at 9 pm to celebrate the birthdays of Empress Jen and Nyjah DiOrganizah. This Reggae Dance Party is free and family friendly.

What is Dub music?
Dub is one of the many sub genres of Reggae. Dub is instrumental Reggae that is artistically enhanced and layered with effects like echo and reverb as well as production techniques like splicing in snippets of vocals or sporadically dropping out all the instruments except for the powerful, stripped down drum and bass. Dub gives the recording engineer the opportunity to become the artist as their multi-track mixing console acts as the instrument. An engineer making Dub is like a chef creating a unique meal not often seen on most menus! Jamaican producer and engineer King Tubby is credited as the creator of Dub, as he first experimented with ways to manipulate and “dub out” his instrumental tracks in the early 1970s. Today, his innovation and influence is widely seen in genres like techno, drum and bass, and dubstep. Dub stands as another example of the rich contributions of Jamaican music. Jah Rich 7/19/2023

LIVE Ecstatic Dance with Seraphine
2026-08-12 19:00 - 21:00 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Imagine not just listening to a song, but being immersed in song- moving, feeling, and adding energy to the music as it’s happening. Seraphine is a local singer-songwriter and percussionist who is no longer content with the old model of simply singing to an audience. There are themes and truths in music, ancient wisdom that we all share, energetic resonance that wants to be moved through our emotions and our bodies, experienced through physical expression.
Join us on a journey where 100% of the music is created live on a dance floor where all forms of expression are welcomed with respect and reverence. There will be original songs, flow arts, exuberant drumming, and a meditative sound bath at the end. Dance, sing, drum, and relax with us!
Snacks and drinks will be provided
Sliding scale donation $22 – $33
