Spiritual gatherings in Eskişehir

A lively university city on the Porsuk river, Eskişehir carries a quieter spiritual inheritance: it is the country of Yunus Emre, the Sufi poet whose simple Turkish verses of divine love are still sung today. His mausoleum lies in the province, and Sivrihisar — Nasreddin Hoca country — is close by.

The sacred life of Eskişehir

Why it’s sacred

Yunus Emre wrote in the plain language of Anatolian villages rather than the Persian of the courts, and his poems of love for God and all creation became part of Turkish folk devotion. Visiting his resting place is a small, heartfelt pilgrimage.

Questions about practising in Eskişehir

Do I need to book, or can I turn up?
Book. Rooms have limited capacity and the free evenings often fill faster than the paid ones, because nothing is risked by registering.
I've never been to anything like this — is that okay?
Look for the first-timer mark. Every listing that carries it has answered the questions a newcomer is afraid to ask. Plenty in Eskişehir are made for a first visit.
What if the price is the obstacle?
Many gatherings here are free, and some facilitators offer a sliding scale — pay what you can, no questions asked, and no one sees what you chose.
How do I hear about new dates?
Follow a facilitator and you're told when they open something in Eskişehir. No other notification is sent unless you ask for it.
Is everything in person?
No — some gatherings are held online, and each listing names its format and, for online ones, the time zone.
