Mevlevi Order of America / California

Dear Friends,
While Jelaleddin Loras the founder of the Mevlevi Order of America, was visiting in America, the Turkish government appropriated part of his property to widen a street and in the process tore down his guest house with no recompense. Some of his students have rebuilt the house, even better than before, but there is still a small debt to clear. Here is an opportunity to help defray that debt and in the process obtain a beautiful set of prayer beads: ~~Tasbih fundraiser for the Konya Mevlevi Guest House.~~~

.....What an amazing story of Sheikh of the Mevlevi Order, Jelaleddin Effendi's home in Konya,
while he was here in North America last year!
.........I'd like to offer the tasbihs I make, in aid towards this fundraiser. For any purchase made in February, where 'Effendi' is mentioned,, I'll contribute 66% of the purchase price. Choose a tasbih at.... https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/JunaydTasbihSilver ,, you can order there, or message me with your choice, we can arrange this directly, using paypal, and more $ will benefit the fund. Just be sure to mention *Effendi's* fundraiser.

Before Sema we had a short walkthrough of some essentials

Annual Summer Camps for training are held on Whidbey island, Puget Sound. Here semazens and musicians exit the hall after Sema.

A reminder, that we work in memory of Suleyman Dede, but also a reminder, that our life comes once, we need to make a difference while we are here as well as leave our legacy to Humanity
