Aziz Abbatiello was raised in an American Mevlevi family. He has walked the path of the mystics following in the tradition of the Sufi. He was initiated as Semazen in 1996, and has made Sema with several Sufi groups in America and abroad.

Anna Whirling is from Ukraine. In the beginning of the war, she moved to Turkey and then to the United States. Anna has practiced whirling since her childhood. She has performed on stage for 20 years.
