“Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn’t matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come.”
Mawlana Jalaluddin-i RUMI

The Whirling Dervishes of Rumi are Coming to San Antonio… A “Whirling Dervishes Live Performance with Live Sufi Music Concert” will take place at Whitley Theological Center of Oblate School of Theology (Address: 285 Oblate Dr, San Antonio, TX 78216) on Saturday, January 24th at 7:00 PM.

Sufism emphasizes universal love, peace, acceptance of various spiritual paths and a mystical union with the divine. It is associated with the dancing of whirling dervishes, who originated in the 13th century as followers of the poet, scholar, a great spiritual master, and Muslim mystic, RUMI. Their dance is a traditional form of Sufi worship, a continuous twirling with one hand pointed upward reaching for the divine and the other hand pointed toward the ground.

This event is co-sponsored by the Continuing Education department of Oblate School of Theology
