About the Facilitator:
Ranjana works as a psychotherapist, and Tantra counsellor and facilitator in self-development for individuals and groups. From an early age, she felt a longing to experience life in all its dimensions, where everything is included as ONE, instead of split off from experience. In 1988, she learned about Osho´s Active Meditations and began practising them.

Meditation transformed her life, bringing in greater sensitivity, expansion and love. At this time, Ranjana also began neo-shamanism training in the Andes Mountains where she experienced a deep connection with nature. Ranjana has also been living The Tantra Path since 2010, in which she has found unity and sacredness.
After experiencing these paths for more than 25 years, she has brought together Asian traditions, Tantra, meditation and the indigenous cosmos-vision where life, love, death, and cycles of nature are living as one into the Great Spirit. Ranjana´s workshops aim to integrate them into the way we live our daily lives, even in urban environments.
Currently, she lives and shares a new and fresh vision of human potential. She travels extensively, and has offered workshops in North, Central and South America, Spain, France, Greece, Estonia, India and The UK for the past 20 years.

RANJANA COMBINES IN HER TEACHING:
- Tantra Shamanic Essence School
- Tantra Essence School by Sarita
- Tantric Tribal Woman
- Tantra Consciousness
Tantra Shamanic Essence School
Tantra Shamanic Essence is an inspiration that comes from my own experience on the Tantra Path, from my meditation practice, deep connection with nature, and from the indigenous wisdom of the Andes Mountains, where I was born.
After experiencing those paths for more than 18 years, I began to feel a longing to bring together Asian traditions, Tantra and meditation with the native cosmos-vision regarding life, death, love, cycles of nature and the Great Spirit.
This is where Tantra Shamanic Essence was created. In my experience, within nature, all is one, and at some point on my path, I realized that ancestral traditions from Asia and The Americas are essentially similar in this understanding.

What is Tantra?
Tantra, as you may know, is mostly associated with sexuality, and conscious sexuality is amazing when you can live it in a natural way. However, Tantra is so much more. It is a vast journey from our roots to our heart, and from our heart to the Super-Consciousness.
Tantra is an art, a science, a spiritual path and a lifestyle. It is a path of transformation with roots going back to shamanic traditions and the origins of yoga. It is a path of expansion, embracing all facets of life. Unlike some other traditions, Tantra accepts sexual energy and may use it as a route to higher consciousness – but that is just one facet among many.
In Sanskrit, Tantra means to weave, to transform through methods, and to transform poison into nectar. The basic concept of this life approach is that each human being is a reflection of the entire cosmos. By entering inside one’s own subjective being with a witnessing consciousness, all aspects of the body / mind and emotions are revealed in their refined potential. The refined potential of every human being is divine. Therefore, in Tantra, the whole person is accepted as divine.
When Tantra is inspired by the natural order, we become innocent in our body-feeling-mind, dropping the negative imprints of our body-feelings. Those old imprints have been affecting our behaviours and how we relate with ourselves and others.
It is here, where the Power of Nature can heal our spirit, allowing us to reclaim the native cosmo-vision to live freely, alive and ‘In Dignity’ (In-Digenous), as many Tribes were and are still living today.
Living Tantra Shamanic Essence in daily life means the art of living joyfully, gratefully and with awareness in our daily lives, even in the midst of the craziness of our modern cities. It is the art of being attuned to our inner nature cycles, and external cycles as well. It is about returning to the innate sensitivity of our younger selves, and in doing this, recovering self-connection and the capacity to be sensitive, powerful, full of aliveness and vulnerable again.
Meditation is the art of being present. The Tantra path requires daily meditation in order to develop the capacity to live in a constant present state, as nature intended. This state is effortless because it is our true nature.
Workshops:
1. EVOLVING THE TANTRA MAP
Women and men, we are equal but different, nature makes our bodies different, this affects our approach to sexuality. If we would know this map, more sexual pleasure, love, and presence will be evolved in lovemaking and that would bring aliveness in life.
Tantra Map - is the knowledge and ability to manage your internal energy system - chakra system, endocrine and nervous systems. When you live in accordance to the Tantra Map, expansion, vitality, well-being, good health and harmony appear in you.
2. ORGASMIC SHAMANIC TRIBE: DANCING, SINGING, WILDNESS, SENSUALITY AROUND BONFIRE
Come dressed in a tribal outfit and be ready to shine and expand your energy and consciousness. Deep connection into nature with instincts, heartbeats, intuition, and silence.
3. TRIBAL WOMAN – CHANUPA CEREMONY (workshop for women)
Chanupa is The Peace Pipe. Like in many ancestral tribes we come together as women to rise prayers, calling for peace, love, harmony, and beauty. And to manifest support, joy, and healing to ourselves. Please come wearing a dress or skirt, bring a sarong.
4. TRIBAL WOMAN – BREST INTIMACY (workshop for women)
Our breast is a source of life, in these times many women get breast cancer due to we don’t understand the power of love and we don’t know how to embrace deep intimacy with ourselves. In this workshop we will do a shamanic healing process, self-massage, and a ritual to embrace the divine nectar of our breast.
Please bring sarongs, come wearing a dress or skirt. You will need organic coconut or almond oil.
EVENING RITUAL:
THE ELEMENTS ECSTATIC DANCE
A dance journey through the four elements, where you will connect deeply into your being, experiencing the four elements within; Earth my body, Water my blood, Air my breath and Fire my spirit. Conscious movement, dance, and silent connection with Tha Chanupa, The Sacred Pipe.
“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed they would ask one of four questions: When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?” Gabrielle Roth

Workschops:
1. Masculine and Feminine – Dance of Polarities
Polarity is the magnetism, the “spark”, the attraction that happens between a man and a woman. In our modern society, our life style depolarizes this attraction and defuses one of the greatest potential for spiritual transformation. If fully understood, polarities between masculine and feminine can truly support and expand each other.
Imagine having the tools and techniques to make your relationship your home – a safe environment where you can rest and relax, be nourished and nurtured. A place where you feel understood and fully open to your lover. A place where you have no inhibitions, only
boundless freedom. From such a place, you can navigate any obstacles with love and awareness.
Join Swami Anahata to understand this challenging and yet so essential subject “Polarities between masculine and Feminine”.
This workshop includes:
- Understanding Masculine Principals
- Understanding Feminine Principals
- What happens when they meet in love union?
- What men are dreaming of women?
- What women are longing from Men?
- Why they don’t understand each other?
- How to empower masculine without being his Mother?
- How to support feminine without making her loose her freedom?
This is an experiential journey that will be based on interaction between Anahata and you so that you find your own answers.
2. Vigyan Bhairava Tantra
An experiential journey into the heart of Tantra. It is for True Tantra Seekers who would like to make Tantra a path of Spiritual Awakening.
Tantra is becoming increasingly popular with the uprising in numbers of teachers, workshops and tantra festivals all around the world. This is a reason to celebrate and at the same time, it brings a strong challenge in front of true seekers to distinguish between Tantra and what is sold in the name of Tantra (often sexual based neo practices). It's so important that Tantra should be presented in its purest form so that it remains a path of spiritual awakening rather than sexual perversion and unconscious indulgence.
One of the classical tantric text dates 5000 years old is “Vigyan Bhairava Tantra” or “Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra”. Cast as a dialogue between Shiva and his consort Devi. Bhairavi, the goddess, asks Bhairava to reveal the essence of the way to realization of the highest reality. In his answer Bhairava describes 112 ways to enter into the universal and transcendental state of consciousness.
Come and join Swami Anahata who is ready to take you on a poetic journey to learn 112 meditation methods of this classical text. It’s an introduction of this sacred text and its methods. We will be practicing 3 meditation methods from this book.
Some of the topics that will be covered during this seminar are:
- Key differences between male and female.
- Why men are the way they are?
- How to communicate to men so they listen, open up and support you?
- How to empower or guide a man without becoming his mom?
- How to bring him back to Intimacy and sexual fire?
3. Let’s Talk about Men – workshop only for women
Why is it that men are really great in the beginning? They bring flowers, give attention and sex is amazing but, after a few months they move their energy and attention towards social media, watching sports, drinking beer and sex is last in his list?During this seminar I will be sharing information, tools, experience that can help you understand men so that you have a choice to make a change in your relationship with men.

Awakened Masculinity is an invitation to men who are feeling a deep need to understand, trust and function from healthy masculine energy in relationship, family and work life.

Evening Ritual:
THE CIRCLE OF LIGHT
Krąg światła jest magnetycznym przepływem, który powstaje pomiędzy mężczyzną i kobietą, gdy ich męska i żeńska energia płynie synchronicznie pomiędzy sercem kobiety oraz męskim centrum seksu.
W rytuale tym użyjemy różnych sposobów oddychania, spotykając się nawzajem w naszej męskości i kobiecości, tak by z lekkością poruszyć naszą energię, obudzić serce oraz centrum seksu i przygotować się do medytacji.
W medytacji Kręgu Światła użyjemy świadomego i interaktywnego oddechu, aby umożliwić przepływ energii pomiędzy Tobą i Twoim partnerem, pomiędzy centrum seksu i sercem. W ten sposób stwarzacie krąg światła, w którym spotykacie się we wspólnym przepływie oraz możecie połączyć się całkowicie w doświadczeniu jedności, zwanym Unio-Mystica.

Workshops:
1. ECSTATIC FIRE
Fire alludes to the original spark that animates all beings. If we could look properly to our story, we would see that we are sons and daughters of massive combustion of a giant star. Carl Jung speaks of this original fire, as the dynamic core of psychic centre. It represents our vital energy, our motivation to live, the capacity of expansion and irradiation, our passion for life, our magnetism and our erotic frenzy. Chinese masters defined fire with what clings (grabs). Without support the fire goes out, is consumed, fire burns through any physical or psychic firewood that serves as food.
It “Shines in paradise and burns in hell” as Gaston Bachelar describe it.
With this workshop my invitation is to be able to ignite this fire that lives in the depths of our inner mountain, wake up this creator fire, transforming fire. If at some point we have to die, may it be because we live so intensely!!!!
We are going to explore:
- Irradiation
- Projection
- Enthusiasm
- Potency
- Magnetism
- Grip
- Fusion
2. THE SERPENT – ANCIENT ARCHETYPES ENERGY
One of the oldest animals. Primordial indivisible “thing” that never ceases to unravel, disappear, be reborn. Its present in all ancestral cultures, of prehistoric origin and with shamanic influences.
"Where is a serpent, a god precedes it" says Klaus Wentz.
A snake is an animalized root. Like the root it enters the interior of the earth, representing our darkest, lowest, chthonic world most primordial much. Dancing the snake itself generates contact with potent psychic energies. In same path of Tantrism we have the snake representing the Kundalini that coils at the base of the spine, ascends through successive chakras, rising the libido and renewing life.
We want to invoke the qualities:
- Seduction
- Fascination
- Magnetism
- Attractiveness
- Sinuosity
- Eroticism
- Visceral Depth
3. SACRED WARRIOR (FOR MEN)
"Being a warrior does not require perfection or invulnerability. He is the absolute vulnerability. That's the only real courage."
It is part of human universals, seen in all cultures throughout the flow of the time. In the search for truth, meaning and human potential, each society metamorphosed this strength to their specific needs. Many of the Great Civilizations have it in its traditions and symbolic narratives. It exists in Shamanic traditions of American Indians, Incas and Mayans in monastic warriors orders from China in the Celtic tradition of the “Knights of the Round Table” and the medieval Templar Order. In Greek mythology we find the gods Ares and Athena, and his Roman equivalent Mars and Minerva, in the Old Testament are stories of the warrior for God. From the ancient Sparta we ear the legendary stories that tell us about the bravery of Leonidas and his 300 warriors. From Japan comes the familiar concept of the Samurai, people trained from an early age to follow the Bushido, the way of the warrior.
Waking the Warrior Path means taking our own personal power in our hands, claim the sacred heritage of being able to accomplish the Identity, it’s the courage to Be.
4. THE ART OF TOUCH
The skin is what binds us and what separates us from the world. Everything that exists has a purpose integrated into the great wise plan of life. The skin is part of that mystical plan! If we have sensitive skin and not feathers or scales, it is because our sensitivity is part of Life's intelligence. Listen! The skin clearly tells me how you feel, how you live, how you love and how you are loved.
We want to Promote:
- Understanding that Touch is a Bridge for Ecstasy
- Create the path from contact to caress
- Learn how to give and receive feedback
- Understand the physiology of touch and caress
- Affective equalization between giving and receiving
- Reveal myself in the space of intimacy
- Ability to put limits on what is toxic
- Create Nutritional Bonds
EVENING RITUAL:
TEMPLE NIGHT – POLARITY BEYOND GENDER
This ritual focuses on specific vivencias for men and women (and all genders in between) in order to be able to rescue the essence and allow the Genuine Revelation of the Identity of each one, we propose the creation of a protected exploration space with the ultimate purpose to facilitate the answer to some core questions: What person am I? What woman am I? What man am I? What makes me different and similar to the opposite gender? In this approach, we go well beyond any sexual options.
Biodanza - The Ritual of Human Encounter
In this minutes concentred outside of the chronological time, I’m going to invite you to make a simple journey that starts with strip tease of your ego and allow our individual identity to melt in the same unique Fountain of Life were we all sprout from!!!
What is Biodanza?
Biodanza is a dance of heart and freedom straight from South America, which was created in the 1960s. His father is a psychologist, anthropologist, poet and artist Rolando Toro from Chile. As a method of personal development, Biodanza is used in over 30 countries around the world. It is based on personal, direct experience - individually, in pairs, subgroups or a group of all participants. During the class, it uses music, movement and dance to create harmony and closeness in interpersonal relationships.
Biodanza is a deeply transforming, and at the same time delicate work on personal development and awareness based on body work, movement and dance. It integrates body, mind, emotions and soul. It awakens vitality, creativity, sensuality, sexuality and emotionality. It teaches openness, joy, building good relationships and expressing emotions.
Biodanza led by Cristiano Martins is a great dance journey that travels through landscapes of emotion, joy, dance and movement. It's easy. You do not have to learn any dance steps. All you need to do is to move your body and enter into a relationship with music. We start straight - meet, connect with other people in the group, use games to relax, let things go and get to know each other. We move deeply into the dance, passionately devoting ourselves to music, experiencing it individually and as a group. From this place we go deeper into exercises that combine meetings and connections with others to heal, discover and express oneself.

- Dynamic Tantra
What is Dynamic Tantra?
Dynamic Tantra is my vision to integrate the ancient Tantric practices in our contemporary life: in a dynamic, playful and soulful way.
Start with the Body
We are so overwhelmed by TV, commercials, social media, working routines, that our minds often struggle to keep up and our natural capacity to connect with our body is simply lost.
However, the body is the natural doorway to the human experience, not the mind.
Because of that, a more dynamic approach to the Tantric techniques is necessary for those that cannot just simply sit up, meditate and connect with their bodies.
A safe, juicy, space
Osho said: “First, be happy”. If we are completely happy, no meditation, no technique is needed to reach your pure, blissful being.
Dynamic Tantra was born with the idea to create an experience that would be easily accessible for all levels, from beginners to advanced meditators, and to have fun with it! Relaxing into it, like going to a party, even if it’s a party of one.
I set myself the task of formulating a structure that would provide a safe environment for people to freely access their own inner space in a playful, funky and dynamic way.
In these collective experiences, we practice together how to:
- Dedramatize sexuality, freeing ourselves from our limiting beliefs.
- Learn to treat our body with respect.
- Bring more awareness to increase our ability to love and to be loved.
- Recognize our body as our true temple.
- Learn the art of letting go through deep relaxation.
- Let our vital energy flow freely.
- Regain confidence in oneself, in others and in life.
- Become familiar with the issues of choice, to become more aware of our limits and to respect ourselves.
- Discover and harmonize our inner male and female polarity.
- Build responsibly our own energy using the three keys: Breath, Movement and Sound
Over the last year, I have created and conceived several Dynamic tantra experiences in Berlin, following closely each of the participants of our workshops to understand and identify the most effective ways to bring people into relaxation, blissfulness and embodiment of their powerful true nature. During this festival, you are invited to experience them all together in one week:
1- Come as you are! - An invitation to discover the sublime combination of aliveness and consciousness which are the essence of Tantra
2-The Chakra Spectrum - An inner journey through the technology of the chakras
3- The Loving Touch - A multi sensorial journey through the dimension of Touch
4- Ecstasy Symphony - An invitation to discover your own version of Ecstasy
5. The Secret Temple
Workshops:
1. COME AS YOU ARE! – INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP TO DYNAMIC TANTRA
Are you new to Tantra? This may be the right time for you to get in touch with your true energy and your true self! Come as you are, no particular preparation is needed.
Not only for beginners, our classic introductory workshop will feature more and new exciting techniques.
In a space of trust, security and respect, this workshop will offer you the opportunity to access deep and lasting transformations.
We will practice together how to :
- Dedramatize sexuality, freeing ourselves from our limiting beliefs.
- Bring more awareness to increase our ability to love and to be loved.
- Recognize our body as our true temple.
- Become familiar with the issues of choice, to become more aware of our limits and boundaries and to respect ourselves.
- Build responsibly our own energy using the three keys: Breath, Movement and Sound.
During this session we will invite you to discover the sublime combination of aliveness and consciousness, which is the true essence of Tantra.
Tantra is a magical world that turns ordinary into extraordinary!
2. THE POWER OF PERSONAL JOURNEY TO THE SOURCE OF TANTRA
The Tantric experience starts with the connection to ourselves and the deconditioning from old patterns, behaviors, traumas and beliefs.
After this introspection, we can connect and look at the other in a different, healthier, and free of judgment way. We are ready to see the others as mirrors of ourselves.
In this workshop we will explore the Non-Dualistic View of Tantra, and how it can be experienced in the body to discover and harmonize our Inner Male and Female polarities.
We will practice together how to build up our energy and see ourselves as a whole.
The realization of our potential as a virtuoso soloist in the concert of Life, will open us to the possibility to meet the others under a whole different light.
3. MULTI SENSORIAL JOURNEY THROUGH THE TANTRIC DIMENSION OF SOUND
The 3 Tantric Keys are Breath, Movement and Sound. In this workshop we will explore deeply the dimension of Sound, not only as an expression of ourselves, but as the ultimate nature of reality.
The ancient Tantric scriptures, in coincidence with contemporary science, describe the world as an eternal ocean of vibrations. A shimmering field of Pure Consciousness that expresses itself in infinite forms, at different frequencies, at every second.
In the Sound of your Voice, Sacred Instruments and Silence, you can find a key to access this level of reality.
We can go from our perception of ourselves as a little being, stuck in our mind, disconnected from everything else, to the experience of being Pure Consciousness experiencing itself as a cosmic oceanic concert of vibration.
This unique Sonic Active Meditation experience will invite you to embrace the experience, which is described in the Tantric Tradition as Ultimate Bliss.
4. AN INVITATION TO DISCOVER OUR OWN VERSION OF ECSTASY
In this workshop we will celebrate Summer, the opening to Life and experience the natural flow of Energy and Awareness which is leading us to our own Inner Flowering.
With a playful, creative and soulful approach, we will invite you to open into the Tantric space so as to access your own experience of Ecstasy.
Our Shakti, or Inner Woman, allows us to live in a receptive way, led by the energetic flow of life and guided by intuitive wisdom, capable of feeling deep emotions and being a source for healing and compassion.
Our Shiva, or Inner Man, allows us to live affirmed in action, guided by our natural authority and inner clarity, to overcome any obstacles and be a beacon and inspiration to others.
The path of Tantra invites us to shed light on these polarities that are a part of our inner core.
This joyful explosion of Wholeness can only be activated when everything we are is included, accepted and invited. As well as to make a great cake you need each of its ingredients, even that tiny pinch of salt.
We will use individual and group tantric techniques to anchor in us experiences of ultimate ecstasy. Once the connection is made with what we really are, we can begin to experience this Integrity in our daily life.
EVENING RITUAL:
THE TANTRIC TALENT SHOW – A SPACE WHERE TANTRA MEETS ART AND CREATIVITY
It is your time to SHINE!
After our unforgettable Talent Show on the last festival, we are very excited to experience another magical, fun, stunning, sparkling night together!

Tantra connects us with our life force, which is the source of our Creativity. This can be an opportunity to embody and integrate what you have learnt during this week from all the amazing workshops of the festival.
It is an invitation to dare to shine, and learn how to appreciate the beauty, the talents and the uniqueness of the others as a loving conscious community where everyone is recognized and encouraged to express itself.
You can dance, sing, play an instrument, prepare a StandUp comedy act, read a poem, make a theatre improvisation, show yourself as a DIV@, show you in a fancy costume, recite a text, make some acrobatic movements, alone or in a group, the sky is the limit!

Freya Combines In Her Teaching:
- Tantric and shamanic methods of John Hawken school The Path of Transformation: Tantra and Shamanism (within which Freya runs workshops of Tantra and Professional Tantric Massage trainings)
- Methods of Tantra Woman School of Santoshi (within which Freya runs Tantra workshops for women)
The Path of Transformation: Tantra and Shamanism (John Hawken)
John Hawken has over 30 years’ experience running transforming and life enhancing personal growth groups in Europe.
Learning to experience energy, in yourself, others and the world, is the key to awareness and presence, and the power to create your dream as your reality, in beauty, in freedom from fear and with integrity. We invite you to surrender to the streamings of life, to expand your potential for excitement and for sensitivity, to live with more aliveness and awareness, and to balance your desire with accepting the truth of the moment.
The paths of transformation consist of six different paths for personal growth and life transformation:\
The Tantric path
Tantra is the path for anyone who wants to open to life more and who is interested in developing their own personality in the area of energy, consciousness, creativity and sexuality. The Tantric Path heals the separation between the heart, spirit and sex and allows us to feel the sacredness inside of us again.
The Path of Touch - tantric massage
Touch is a vital form of nourishment and affirmation, and sensual massage a way of communicating non-verbally and directly. To receive a tantra massage is to be initiated into tantric experience and tantric consciousness. Often tantra massage can be the first contact with energy and the energy body and the potential of expanding sexual energy into the whole body.
The Path of Energy - Bioenergetics
How we embody and express our energy makes our psyche and our patterns of reactions to life visible. We hold in our bodies the energy we dared not express when we were vulnerable children, both as a tension in the muscles and as a charge of energy in the organs and connective tissue. This fixed form of expression and defence is called our character. It is our social, adapted self, and blocks and represses our spontaneous flow of life energy, our wildness, including large amounts of our sexuality and creativity.
The Shamanic Path - Contemporary Shamanism
Shamanism studies our energetic connection to everything around us, the elements, the minerals, plants and animals, and especially the spirit connections, including to our ancestors, our karma and our sacred dream. We develop our ability to perceive energy and spirit through our energy body, the awareness of which brings us into an expanded state of consciousness. John Hawken teaches in the beauty way in the tradition of the Twisted Hairs medicine teachings he studied with Arwyn Dreamwalker.
The Path of Pilgrimage
The ancient tradition of pilgrimage creates change by letting a journey through an outer landscape become a mirror to stimulate an inner journey through an inner landscape. We work strongly with the four elements to create soul alchemy, and in the power places of the world to open the gateways between outside and inside, between macrocosm and microscosm. These power places once experienced become a resource in the soul memory to which the pilgrim can return at any time.
The Path of Dark Eros
Dark Eros is the transformation of fear and guilt and of anger and blaming. It is the exploration of existential, first-chakra based sexuality. The fundamental question is, is the basis of our life fear or pleasure? Fear is excitement with contraction, as every horror film buff or rollercoaster fan knows, pleasure on the other hand is excitement with relaxation and expansion.

TANTRA AS A FEMININE PATH

By drinking sacred Cacao we will relax, connecting deeper to our body, soul and to the Earth, so that we may love and accept ourselves and others, without limits, judgments or attachments.
Cacao ceremony is a sacred time and space for ourselves in this busy and stressful world, it's time to detach from the chaos outside and dive into the silence within, to feel the energy of the heart, discover the subtle powers of Ixcacao, the Goddess of fertility and love, inviting us to connect with our true nature, which is pure joy, spontaneity, energy and love.

The Ceremony and Dance
Freya will start the ceremony with a healing meditation into our hearts during which we will have quite time to contemplate the sacred “Drink of Gods”. Freya’s cacao recipe is known for its potency (you will drink about 30-40 mg of specially seasoned pure cacao*). During the second part of the evening Freya will invite you to celebration and tantric fun playing some sexy grooves, psytrance and ethnic sets for a blissful Ecstatic Dance.

RAW CACAO PROPERTIES
Cacao is one of the most nutrient rich foods in the world. Aids in longevity and has many powerful antioxidants. Theobromine dilates blood vessels, relieving stress on the heart, and sharpens your mind. Cacao contains many minerals such as iron, chromium, zinc and potassium. But first of all, cacao has the highest magnesium content of any known food. Magnesium relaxes the heart, muscles, cardiovascular system and mind. Helps reduce insulin resistance and can aid in weight loss.
Among the many health effects of cocoa are: improved heart function stimulation of the nervous system, facilitated digestion, and improved kidney and bowel function. In addition, cocoa has been used to treat anemia, mental fatigue, tuberculosis, fever, gout, kidney stones, and even poor sexual appetite.
Ecstatic dance
Ecstatic dance, also called trance dance, movement meditation has its roots in shamanic traditions. Throughout the world, indigenous people danced at the fire and journeyed into a trance. They danced to prepare for war, for weddings, births, conception of a new baby, to heal themselves or someone in the community.
Ecstatic dance movement is growing all over the world, everyone can dance it the old, the young, big and small, thin and fluffy, businessmen and hippies, students and factory workers. Because there are no boundaries and no divisions to dancing, there are no "steps” that you have to learn, no rules and copy rights. It belongs to the people and we all know it, its in our body, in our genes, in collective consciousness. We are all dancers, members of one world village, urban or rural tribe.
The principle of dancing is simple: let your body feel the music and move freely. Dance as if nobody's watching! (Because no one is watching, you do not have to judge, everyone is taken by the trance dance)
During Ecstatic Dance, we release stress, relax your body, calm your mind, connecting with the music and other dancers.
