The Canadian Turkish Cultural Association with the Jerrahi Sufi Order of Canada proudly present "Whirling into Peace", celebrating the life, contributions, and prayer for Global Peace of Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi.
Born in 1207, Rumi is now recognized worldwide as one of the greatest mystical poets of all time.

Rumi will be further honoured through the ancient practice of whirling, performed by visiting dervishes of the Mevlevi Sufi Order founded by Rumi inthe 13th century.
