Peace, one and all…
Shaykh Ahmad Dede, the Shaykh of the Haqqani-Mevlevi tariqa (under the auspices of Maulana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani), will be coming to the Llangollen International Eisteddfod on Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th July 2007. They will be performing a traditional Mevlevi sama’ ceremony, including whirling.
For those unfamiliar with things Welsh, an Eisteddfod is a traditional festival of literature, music, song and dance. You find out more about the sama’ ceremony (more here too) and whirling of the Mevlevi tariqa here.
Insha Allah, it will be a beautiful and inspiring event. With God’s permission, I plan to attend with my family. So, if you’re going along, we might well bump into each other.

Mashallah.
may this experience opens more doors of consciousness of the Divine into your heart and your dear ones.
enjoy the presence of the love ceaselessly flowing through the heart of people like Shaykh Nazim and other Devishes in disguise.
i had the honor to be in the presence of another Shaykh Hisham and i was given a small glimpse of what it feels to be there! Mashallah! my eyes again fills with tears remembering those moments. Mashallah!
listen to your heart and you will know Inshallah.
