Life Dance: Whirling Meditation Workshop
Whirling Meditation Workshop with Safa Solati
Whirling is an ancient form of active meditation – a movement practice that invites us to let go of the mind and ego, and reconnect with something greater. As we turn, the “I” slowly fades. The swirling motion becomes a mirror to the inner self.
In Sufi tradition, the dancer’s heavy skirt represents the ego. As it lifts, it symbolizes the ego’s release. Traditionally, this skirt is made of the same cloth Sufis are buried in – a reminder of the saying: "Die before you die.” This means letting go of ego and separation, and returning to unity with the universe while still in this life.
-
This workshop is perfect for those curious about the whirling journey but unsure where to begin. It’s a gentle, welcoming introduction – a chance to explore without pressure or commitment.
If you’ve been drawn to movement, meditation, or just want to try something completely new, you’re warmly welcome.
-
Every human life is a dance – between who we are and who we have the potential to become. It’s a rhythm between inner essence and the world outside us.
Life Dance is about listening to that rhythm.
Through dance, we express consciousness – our joys, our longings, our questions. Whirling is one of the oldest forms of embodied expression.
Yet today, it remains unfamiliar to many.
This workshop offers a doorway back into that tradition: a space to reconnect with our bodies, breath, emotions, and spirit.
-
Safa is a trained psychologist specializing in music psychotherapy, with a deep passion for dance as a path of healing and spiritual exploration. She has studied Persian dances for many years and, over the past six years, has devoted herself to the study and practice of Sufi whirling.
After five years in Italy, where she trained with various dance teachers, Safa returned to Finland in 2020 and began offering introductory whirling workshops in Helsinki. In 2023, she hosted Ziya Azazi – a globally renowned whirling artist who deeply inspires her – for an intensive workshop.
Safa’s unique approach centers on the therapeutic and spiritual dimensions of whirling, rather than religious tradition.
Her workshops are welcoming, inclusive, and rooted in deep respect for the inner journey.
-
Please wear comfortable clothes for movement
Loose skirts are ideal (Sufi skirts or flowy skirts), but any loose clothing works
Socks are recommended
Make sure you have space around you for safe movement
Eat light beforehand – try not to eat 2 hours prior to the workshop
You’re welcome to snack or drink water during the session
Some dizziness or nausea may arise – we’ll talk through this and offer grounding tools to support you
Go at your own pace. There’s no right or wrong – just your experience.
This is more than a dance class. It’s a moment to reconnect, realign, and remember the quiet wisdom our bodies hold.
No previous experience needed – just an open heart.
Let’s whirl, breathe, and discover – together.
Let’s Draw Together: Life Drawing
Let’s Draw Together: Life Drawing
Organised by Mohamed (Polymath Moka ) & Art workshop will be led by Artist Andrej Bakharev
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills, this session is a chance to explore the art of drawing human faces and forms from life.
We’ll be working with a live model under expressive, dramatic lighting, learning key techniques to capture personality and shape — together.
This workshop is perfect for all skill levels and especially valuable for those curious about or working in animation, game design, illustration, or visual storytelling. Or, those interested in making new friends, experiencing new hobbies, and having a chill afternoon together.
You’ll be guided by expert-led demos and hands-on exercises in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
We’ll gather in a beautiful communal home offered by our kind friends Silja and Jaakko, with a small group of volunteer models to bring variety and depth to the experience.
And if time allows, you’re welcome to step in as a model too — it’s a great way to see things from the other side and contribute to the group’s learning.
To keep the space open and accessible, we’ve introduced tiered pricing — so that people from all financial backgrounds can take part.
No pressure, no perfection — just people, paper, and shared inspiration.

🍂 Inner Autumn (Luteal Phase) – A time for introspection, setting boundaries, and completing tasks.
The circle is inclusive of women and those with female reproductive anatomy of all ages and life stages.

Hosted by Rakas Kakaw Founder, Nicole Flora Cramer
Join us for a magical community ceremony, offering grounding & deep nourishment for mind, body & soul.
Through guided meditations, rituals & mindfulness practices, you will be led on a healing journey of self-reflection + conscious community connection.
We will begin by sharing some facts about our ethical ceremonial cacao. As we drink our cacao together, we will share Mayan wisdom passed down from indigenous teachers.
✨🕯️✨ For the Return of the Light Ceremony, we find ourselves exactly half-way between Winter Solstice & Spring Equinox.
Celebrated across cultures since ancient times, at this time of year, we truly begin to see & feel that the sun's light is returning more & more into our daily lives. Let us join together & celebrate the return of the light in CommUnity with ritual & intention.

Ceremonial cacao is the whole food, relatively unprocessed product deriving from the Theobroma cacao tree, native to Central + South America.
Theobroma means "food of the gods" in Latin, and cacao is an Olmec term meaning "bitter" and "water." This gentle & sacred heart-opening plant, which has been a central component in Mayan culture for thousands of years, is now hailed in the Western World as a "superfood" packed with nutrients that boost mood, ease stress + help fight disease.
The ceremonial cacao we drink in our circles is a brew made of cacao mixed with water.
In every Community Cacao Circle with Rakas Kakaw, we serve ethical single-ingredient 100% Mayan ceremonial cacao sourced exclusively from indigenous collectives in Guatemala.
-
Saturday, 01/02/2025. Circle from 4 PM to 6 PM. Please arrive at 4 PM.
-
Everyone native to Planet Earth is warmly welcome in our inclusive community circles, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexuality, etc.
If you are new to ceremonial cacao that’s not a problem. During these gatherings, nothing is forced or required other than showing up with an open heart.
We follow strict safe space guidelines & ask that participants refrain from drug & alcohol use on the day of our circle.
-
MUST bring - your favorite mug for cacao; a water bottle.
MAYBE BRING - A journal, if you have one & want to write some reflections there.
Any sacred items that you might like to charge on our altar - such as jewelry,crystals, oracle/tarot cards, photographs, earth elements, etc.
-
✨The mission of Rakas Kakaw Community Cacao Circles is to:
(1) share our appreciation for Mayan culture & ceremonial cacao;
(2) co-create heart-centered community rooted in respect for the earth & indigenous wisdom;
(3) nourish a culture of communal healing.
🤎 Facilitated by Rakas Kakaw Founder, Nicole Flora Cramer, a trained & experienced Cacao Guide, Yoga Teacher & Sacred Facilitator of healing circles.
Nicole has studied with Mayan elders from K'iche, Kaqchikel & Tzʼutujil lineages to deepen her understanding of ceremonial cacao & Mayan culture.
