For my paper on “Islamic Mysticism in Indonesia: Artistic Appropriations of Sufism in Java,” which I gave at the American Institute for Indonesian Studies Conference hosted by Michigan State University, I had the joy of diving into the mystic practice of whirling in Indonesia (where I was a Fulbright fellow). You will read in-depth about whirling in my new book, The Gift of Rumi.
