These classes are rooted in Sufism, traditionally known as tasavvuf, a gnostic and mystical dimension of Islam. It is a path of creative love, devotion, and intrinsic awareness that dissolves mental rigidity and invites students into a deeply embodied and personal experience of the Divine.
Over the years, this practice has developed in many varying directions. In Yumina Rosa Sheikh’s classes, she will offer her theoretical views and perspectives, followed by a musical and embodied experience of this practice through Whirling Movements. With an open heart and curious spirit, the lectures and experiences will reveal layers of insight.
In her view, the purpose of this practice is not just about abstract spirituality, but an intimate dance with the sacred, where presence, surrender, and intuition are central.
At its´ heart, it is about the Self experiencing many dimensions of love—raw, boundless, and deeply personal. It’s the kind of love that makes the soul ache, the kind that pulls you toward something greater than yourself. This practice is feminine in nature, and less about living from mere mental obligations, and more about surrendering to the flow of birthing oneself in the continuous cycles of each day. Through embodied presence and by listening to the quietness of the heart, one can let in the intrinsic sensations of the Divine pull that can guide you through everyday experiences and challenges.

PREPARATION
Please bring a bottle of water and wear a comfortable dress or skirt of any colour that can whirl with you. This is not a requirement, but a preference. It is also recommended to bring socks to experiment with a smoother flow for your feet.
Please, do not consume a heavy meal on the day of the event. It is strongly recommended to bring a sober body; therefore, the consumption of alcohol or drugs should be avoided prior to the event—ideally for at least a week. Intermittent fasting is also strongly recommended for a few days before the event. The reason for these recommendations is simply because we will work to harness the natural and creative energy through body-consciousness connection that can be disrupted if the body is loaded with stimulants or engaged in heavy digestion.
ABOUT THE TEACHER AND THE APPROACH
Yumina Rosa Sheikh has been teaching Whirling Movements and the Meditation of Remembrance since 2015 in Norway and Mexico. She is now offering these teachings in the Netherlands. Her approach lays strong emphasises on how and why femininity can inform the way we engage with the masculine within us, and clearly states that both of these qualities exist in each person; hence, a conscious re-alignment and embodiment of non-duality are central themes in the practices she offers.
