Join us for an immersive workshop exploring the sacred rhythms and songs of Sufi traditions—melodies and beats that have been played for centuries to elevate the soul and deepen the connection to the divine. Using authentic instruments from the Kurdish and Persian heritage, master musician Amir Etemadzadeh will guide us on a journey through the mystical world of Sufi drumming and chanting.
This session will feature live demonstrations of rhythmic cycles, devotional songs, and the spiritual essence of Sufi music. Participants will experience the power of music as a form of meditation and collective remembrance (dhikr), learning how rhythm and melody intertwine to inspire ecstasy (wajd) and inner peace.
Whether you are a musician, a seeker, or simply curious about the transformative power of Sufi music, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to listen, learn, and participate in this sacred tradition.
