1	Rumi: The Hidden Treasure Rumi, one of the greatest mystics of Islam, is known both for his poetry (he is apparently today’s bestselling poet in the USA, inspiring Madonna, Deepak Chopra, and Coleman Barks among others) and for having founded the Mevlevi order, sometimes known as the ‘whirling dervishes’ famous for their ecstatic dancing and music (sema).

Rumi, the great Sufi saint of 13th-century Turkey, taught both male and female students this whirling dance, but in the centuries after his death women were excluded from participation. Not until the late 1970s, when Shaikh Suleyman Dede brought the Turn ritual to North America, was this practice again opened to women.
