3 Tage 3 Nächte Sema Seminar in Hatay
26 Oktober 07:00 p.m. – 29 Oktober 2018 10:00 p.m.
In his book entitled ‘the Legends of the Enlightened Ones’ Ahmed Eflaki narrates that His Holiness Mevlana performed three days and nights, seven days and nights, sixteen days and nights and forty days and nights nonstop sema.
With this inspiration, we would like to continue long TÜMATA sema meetings and therefore we organize the next 3 days and 3 nights sema in Hatay between 26 – 29 October 2018.
The Sema event that TÜMATA family has been organizing for years is going to take place in Hatay for the second time. Rıfat Kelce’s place (Belen region) will be open for all souls whose hearts beat with the love of Sema to spread the teachings and keep this tradition alive.
These 3 days 3 nights Sema event offers us the opportunity to develop our community feelings and consciousness of unity that we intent to integrate in our lives. We are hoping to be in unity and sharing to be able to have peace in these 3 days and nights.

Who can participate?
This event is open to everyone who has an genuine interest in Mevlana’s Sufism and is ready to appreciate it.
What are the requirements?
This gathering has its roots in Islamic traditions and is inspired by His Holiness Mevlâna Jalâleddîn Rumî. We ask the participants to acknowledge this and conduct themselves accordingly.
In order to keep the event in balance and harmony, we put together some guidelines or rules, if you will. Please read them and affirm that you approve of them before you decide to participate.
You are not required to participate in the whole event. We all participate as much as we want/can.
We are with many different people from all around the world. Customs of behaving, dress code and hygiene sensibilities may differ from culture to culture, country to country.
General rules of Sema
In any case this gathering is rooted in Islamic traditions and is inspired by Hz. Mevlâna Rumî. We ask and expect participants to acknowledge this and conduct themselves accordingly.
In order to ensure balance and harmony of our event we put together some guidelines, you may call them rules. We have tried to give detailed information about them, but they can be summarized as:
- Avoid noise, do not disturb others.
- Pay attention to hygiene.
- Show your respect to the tradition in your dressing style and behaviour
- Avoid harmful and illegal substances completely.
- This is a sema gathering. Participate and celebrate.
Before you decide to participate, please read all the rules thoroughly and make sure you are okay with them.
Donations and volunteer work
Donations and volunteer work are subjects that receive many comments and emails. Perhaps, giving them a place on this page will make things easier.
Fees or donations
We have no sponsors and we are not rich. Our total expenditure for food, water, electricity etc. is covered by donations from participants.
It is our belief that money (or the lack of it) should not be an obstacle for people who want to attend the sema. That is why we collect donations, instead of charging a fee.
There is no fixed fee nor any minimum donation required for participation.
Volunteer work
All the work required to keep the sema going is done by volunteers. We hope and expect every participant to support the event by volunteering.
I don’t have money for contributions. but I can participate as volunteer
Donation and volunteer work are not alternatives to each other. Both are required for the event to continue. We have no sponsors, no paid personnel. To have food, someone must pay for it, someone must buy it, someone must cook it and someone must serve it. If any one of these tasks fails, than there is no food. The same goes for all expenses and services.
Unless you are living a hunter gatherer life, you are already spending money everyday for food or other necessities. You can at least contribute with whatever your minimum daily expenses would be.
Bottom line; you can participate without making any donations or doing any volunteer work. Until now, we haven’t had to keep track of this.
