In a discreet place to Arles, le Sufi Temple opens its doors for an immersive retreat devoted to Sufi dance.
For four days, a small group of participants explore circular movement in a space entirely dedicated to this practice.
The number of places is deliberately limited to preserve the intimate nature of this experience.
With Rana Gorgani
In the heart of Arles, behind a discreet door, lies a rare place: the Sufi Temple.
This space is not just a practice room. It is entirely devoted to the exploration of Sufi dance and the transmission of this age-old path where movement becomes prayer, inner research and self-knowledge.
Entering this retreat means agreeing to slowing down the pace of the world to be guided by that of the body, the breath and the circle.
Each day is punctuated by Sufi dance workshops, explorations of traditional rhythms and practice circles where the tour becomes a space for listening and transformation.
The evenings offer a special moment: the dance deepens in a more interior atmosphere, where the circle unfolds as a collective experience.
The Sufi Temple is a space dedicated to the practice and transmission of Sufi dance.
This retreat takes place in small group, to maintain an atmosphere of attention and presence.
The number of places is strictly limited.
