The seminars, whose content is developed by Assistant Professor Dr. Rahmi Oru\u00e7 G\u00fcven\u00e7, are conducted at T\u00fcmata by group leaders who are experts in the relevant topics. There are two main topics covered: the Turkish tradition of music and movement therapy, and humanity\u2019s highest values. Although the flow of the seminars is organized with the understanding that it is subject to the moment\u2019s inspiration, certain subtopics are typically identified before most seminars, and the discussion is guided toward these topics. The general outline of how these two topics are addressed can be described as follows: <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

The Turkish tradition of music and movement therapy<\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Among the Turks, therapy through music and movement has found its place not only as a historical reality but also as a therapeutic option in modern medicine. The figures carved into the Gobustan rock formations in Azerbaijan 14,000 years ago bear witness to a deeply rooted tradition. <\/p>\n

The tradition of healing through Turkish modal music\u2014which originated in Khorasan and has been evolving for a thousand years, featuring the pentatonic (five-note) scale, known as the oldest form of musical performance\u2014has been documented in the works of scholars and artists. Using this tradition, music therapy has been practiced in Seljuk and Ottoman hospitals since nine hundred years ago. Today, through various laboratory tests made possible by modern medicine, the connections between emotions and organs as described in this ancient knowledge and the musical modes have been confirmed. <\/p>\n

The T\u00fcmata (Research and Promotion of Turkish Music) Group\u2014which carries out these activities, secures and preserves traditional musical repertoires, rhythms, and instruments, and provides training\u2014is committed to presenting and implementing these activities worldwide under the leadership of ethnomusicologist and music therapist Assistant Professor Dr. Rahmi Oru\u00e7 G\u00fcven\u00e7. In addition, educational activities in this field have been ongoing in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Spain since 1980.Within this framework, the activities conducted during the seminars are as follows: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Baksi dance: In ancient times, healers known as kam and baks\u0131 used music and movement in their healing practices. Today, this dance\u2014known as the Baks\u0131 dance or karacorga and practiced by kam and baks\u0131 (Central Asian Turkic-Islamic shamans)\u2014is perhaps the oldest surviving example of music and movement therapy. The seminar provides information about the Baks\u0131 dance, explains how it is performed with examples, and involves participants in practicing it together. <\/li>\n
  • Archetypal movements: Archetypal movements\u2014which can be described as the performance of certain movements derived from the Baks\u0131 dance and semahs, accompanied by a specific musical repertoire\u2014aim to both release energy blockages and facilitate emotional transformation through movements that begin in the hands and spread throughout the entire body. Archetypal movements are practiced together with participants, accompanied by explanations of the movements. <\/li>\n
  • Imagery Therapy: For nearly twenty years, this practice has been conducted to the accompaniment of music that is largely improvised\u2014a style that has been observed on numerous occasions to facilitate the perception of specific images. The goal is to release negative patterns that have become entrenched in the mind. A melody with roots in ancient practices is presented anew, unchanged in its essence, from the same source. This practice, in which participants lie down and rest while taking part, is a form of receptive (passive) therapy. <\/li>\n
  • Maqam music and receptive therapy: Maqam music flourished in the culture of Khorasan 1,000 years ago. The use of this music in treatment became a very important branch of medicine at that time, and scholars and scientists such as Ibn Sina, al-Farabi, Abu Bakr al-Razi, Safuyiddin Urmevi\u2014artists and scholars of the time\u2014identified and studied the connections and relationships between the maqams and the organs, time, ailments, the four elements, the four humors, and the zodiac signs. About forty of these maqams have been documented in the literature. During the seminars, information on the subject is provided, and\u2014depending on the participants\u2019 circumstances\u2014a receptive music therapy session is conducted in a selected maqam, following the method used in the hospitals of the past. <\/li>\n
  • Pentatonic music and receptive therapy: Pentatonic (five-note) music, which dates back thousands of years, is described by Ahmet Adnan Saygun as the hallmark of Turkish music. It is said that this music increases alpha and theta waves in the brain, facilitates a trance-like state, and fosters self-confidence and determination. This session, in which participants lie down and rest, is a form of receptive (passive) therapy. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    As the T\u00fcmata Music Group, we view music as a language, a culture, and a means of expression. In our programs, we offer personalized instruction tailored to each student\u2019s individual talents and interests. Our goal is not only to teach our students how to play an instrument but also to convey the spirit of music and its cultural depth. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

    The Highest Values of Humanity<\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Under this heading, we examine values that are not tied to any particular race, nation, or religion, that belong to all of humanity, and that define what it means to be human. The following topics can be listed as examples of these values in practice: <\/p>\n

      \n
    • Harmony and balance between our cultural heritage and the present day: Broadly speaking, this conversation will be shaped by the perspective of \u201cpeace in the present, submission to the future,\u201d based on the question: \u201cHow can we meet the demands of modern life while remaining connected to the values inherited from the past that align with our essence?\u201d<\/li>\n
    • A Sufi discussion based on Rumi\u2019s *Masnavi* and Sultan Veled\u2019s *Rebab-name*: This session combines the practice\u2014common among the Mevlevi Order\u2014of opening a random page from the *Mesnevi* and offering explanations to help readers understand it, with insights from *Rebabname*, a work written by Sultan Veled 800 years ago. Some of the topics discussed include the characteristics of the servants of Allah\u2014which Sultan Veled emphasizes extensively in his book\u2014their contributions to personal development, and their connection to the knowledge of Khizr (peace be upon him), known as *Ilm-i Ledun*. <\/li>\n
    • Sema: According to some, Sema is a form of worship; it was also practiced long ago, during the era of the shamans. There is substantial evidence suggesting that the rotation intensifies, accelerates, and deepens the trance. The Sema that developed within Islamic Sufism, however, possesses a philosophical depth and has its own explanations along this path. It is not merely a rotation but a turning toward the heart. Seminars provide information about Sema, explain the technique, and practice it together with the participants. In recent years, some of the hundreds of people who have learned sema have progressed from beginning with ten to fifteen minutes of spinning to spinning continuously for one, two, three, and in some cases even six to seven hours. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
