ADDITIONAL EVENTS

Cacao Ceremony/ Ancestral Ceremony

Cacao has always been consumed ceremonially by the ancient Olmec, the Zapotec, the Mayans and the Aztecs. It plays a central role in the Mayan Creation Story (Popul Vuh).

“Connecting with Kukulkan to bring the unity on myself to this incarnation”

The focus of this ancient ceremony is to create a deeper understanding and relationship with the plant spirit, Kukulcan (the Universal Kundalini on existence) and your own KUNDA. Kukulkan represent the sexual energy or life force in connection with awareness and consciousness. The shiva-shakti relationships in our lives. The masculine and feminine. Kakawa ceremony will awake the KUNDA the original life force on you to take it to the pineal gland.

Cocoa has been traditionally used as the Food of the Gods and was treated by the Mayans and Aztecs as a sacred healing plant to aid inner journeys to the spiritual worlds. They believed that cocoa harmonizes the imbalance between the mind and the heart, helps to fully open the heart, feel compassion and unconditional love. The Incas considered cocoa to be the "drink of the gods", hence the scientific name of the cacao tree, "Theobroma Cacao", from the Greek words theo (god) and Broma (drink).

Cacao is considered a Sacred Medicine - a teacher plant that brings insights, valuable lessons and transformation. During the ceremony, you are in control of your experience and can go as deep as you wish. Cocoa is completely legal in every corner of the world.

Properties of Raw Cocoa

Raw Cocoa has many extremely valuable properties supporting mental health and well-being. It reduces stress levels, improves awareness and focus. One of the main active ingredients in cocoa is theobromine, which together with magnesium has a soothing effect on the nervous system. It is a substance that stimulates heart activity and dilates blood vessels, relieves stress and depression, is released in the body during emotional euphoria and empathy.

There are over 300 compounds in cacao, these compounds affect your mood and could contribute to the spiritual effects that many experience when participating in a cacao ceremony.

Anandamide

This is often called the ‘bliss molecule’ and is an endocannabinoid. Anandamide is a substance that your body produces that binds to our cannabinoid receptors. Yes, cannabinoid – pure cacao stimulates your endocannabinoid receptors, much like THC (found in marijuana) does.

Phenylethylamine

This compound is similar to amphetamine and is naturally present in our brains. If taken in higher doses, it releases dopamine into the pleasure centres of your brain. This creates feelings of exhilaration, lowered fatigue, and a general sense of well-being.

Caffeine

Caffeine wakes you up and increases your alertness. While too much caffeine could be harmful, cacao has moderate amounts of this substance – especially compared to coffee and tea. A 1-oz piece of bittersweet chocolate has between 5-10mg caffeine.

Tryptophan

An essential amino acid that increases the production of serotonin. Serotonin is a natural stress-reducer and anti-depressant.

Endorphins

This is a natural opiate that lifts your mood and reduces pain.

Polyphenols

Polyphenols and other antioxidants inhibit oxidation. This is a process of damage to your body and is linked to aging and (potentially) to the formation of some cancers.

Workshops

1. Tantric Journey: From Sex To Divine Union

Biggest discovery Tantra made in the field of sexuality and relationship is that energy centres ( chakras ) in men and women have an opposite energy charge. This is exactly what creates a magic attraction between them. Positive charge - we give the energy, negative charge - we receive the energy. Not many knows that energy wise we’ve been created as a complimentary beings, to feat each other as a 2 peaces of puzzle.

In this workshop you’ll discover and live the energy of every chakra exactly how Tantra see it. You’ll have an embodied experience of harmonious flow between male and female energy centres ( chakras ) and how it creates natural snake like movement of energy from low to higher chakras, from sex to divine union. Once you discover the nature of the energy flow between male and female centres, you can apply it to your sexuality and relationship, making them more harmonious and beautiful.

2. You And Your Mother: Hidden Dynamics In Your Sexuality And Relationship

Mother is the most important figure in our life. She plays very deep and profound role in how we live our sexuality and the way we relate with our partner. We unconsciously repeat the model of relationship our mother transmit to us or try to do just the opposite. In both way we are not free to discover and live it in our own unique way.

In this workshop you’ll discover the reality of your relationship with mother and how it influences your sexuality and relationship. Only after it’s brought to light and acknowledged,you will be able to make a step towards healing. We'll be applying a powerful combination of Family constellation, Tantra and Trauma healing work with 3 golden keys of working with energy: movement, breath and sound.

3. Sacred Geometry Of Relationship: Back To The Flow

Very often in our relationship we unconsciously just play out “unfinished business” with parents, projecting on partner childhood traumas and needs. During this workshop you’ll discover the reality of your relation with a parent of opposite sex hence uncover the hidden drivesbehind your relationship with partner. Only after it’s brought to light and acknowledged, you will be able to make a step towards healing and finding your own unique way to relate and enjoy your authentic sexuality.

We'll be applying a powerful combination of Family constellation, Tantra and Trauma healing work with 3 golden keys of working with energy: movement, breath and sound.

4. Sex And Heart: Union Of Opposites

In Tantra Sexual center ( first chakra ) - is the most powerful male center, and the Heart center ( 4th chakra ) is the most powerful female center.

Very often in relationship meeting between partners happening just on the sex level. Sexuality can give a lot of passion and pleasure, but we feel that something important is missing… We’ve been conditioned that sex and heart are totally opposite and even mutually exclusive. So we’ve created a “wall” that separatessexuality from love. During this workshop you’ll have the unique opportunity to discover hidden dynamics of how Sex and Heart really act in your life, in your relationship and sexuality. You’ll experience beautiful flow of energy between your most powerful energy centres, giving you sense of deep fulfilment and completion.

Since then, Prashantam has been working as an Osho Therapist and running workshops, healing trainings, Zen silent meditation retreats, individual sessions, and development groups around the world. In 1986 he became director of the Osho Institute of Oriental Healing Arts in Puna, India. He created his own healing method known as Osho Divine Healing Art (O.D.H.A.). He also conducts workshops in Italy at the Osho Miasto center. In 2001, Prashantam founded the Osho Divine Healing Arts School (O.D.H.A.), recognized by the British Association for Complementary Medicine - BCMA.

He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the Sorbonne in Paris. Feeling that human education does not end with specialist training, Prashantam set off on a journey through the countries of the East and far Asia. Two great masters had a decisive influence on the formation of Prashantam:

"God on Earth" is how Prashantam calls Koku Nishimura, the Japanese Zen master who led the Tani-Ha movement. Prashantam met him in 1973.

- "God in Heaven" - this is how Prashantam calls the enlightened master Osho. Having met him in 1976, Prashantam decided to stay at the Osho commune in Pune.

Prashantam has a holistic approach to his therapy. He trained and specialized in shiatsu with his teacher T. Namikoshi in Japan. Before meeting Osho, he became a monk under Tani-Ha Zen master KoKu NisHimura, from whom he learned the art of Zen - a conscious and spiritual approach to life. Also in Japan, he learned from master Koku Nishimura how to play the Kyotaku - bamboo flute. In 1982, he graduated from the Heartwood massage school in California. After returning to India in 1986, he created his own method of healing, which later became known as Osho Divine Healing Art (O.D.H.A.).

He also worked with many shamans in his life. He has lived in the Philippines, in Japan, with Aborigines in Australia, with indigenous tribes in the Amazon, Brazil, the Andes, and Mexico, with Tibetan doctors in Sikkim. He travelled all over the world, visited Afghanistan, China, Laos, Cambodia, Finland, Russia, India, America, Brazil. He speaks eight languages.

For over 40 years, he has been disseminating his teachings based on his deep knowledge and understanding of life, the result of long and profound spiritual searches and accumulated meditation experiences, and has been passing them on to people around the world.

Meditation is the way and the golden key for An AWAKENED HEART and SPIRIT. Then you live in awareness with HIGH ENERGY and a healthy and ALIVE BODY. The original and effective way of OSHO meditation techniques that appeal to the new MAN of our generations is that the experience of Silence may not be an effort, but rather the consequence of releasing one's own physical possibilities ( hence the active ways of OSHO techniques ) to create the possibility for watching and awareness to happen naturally and effortlessly.

Workshops

1. Emotional Liberation – The Path to Happy Relationship (for everyone)

The Emotional Body specializes in feeling. An emotion is a physiological experience of a feeling.

The Emotional Body is the bridge between our Physical Selves and our Thinking Selves. Interprets and translates the thoughts projected forth by both, your Consciousness and also, by your Human Mind - into feeling states. It is what makes us able to experience Thought as 'real'.​ Feeling makes us humans.​

In fact, without your feelings, nothing about your physical reality would seem real. Your sense of Life, and feeling-based conclusions about Life, are contained within the Emotional Body. Your interpretations are contained within the Emotional Body. Your emotional trauma is contained within the Emotional Body. If your interpretations of Life are experienced as painful emotions, and if the feeling-state of your memories are painful, and your feelings dictate what is real and what is not, then your Emotional Body will continue to convey those painful messages to the body - which will be interpreted as unpleasant emotion within the body. This leads to an unhappy life. This leads to addiction. This leads to failed relationships. Basically, this leads to the physical reflection of those emotional states.

The purpose of this workshop is to help you reconnect with your emotional body to release stagnant emotions and stored trauma in your body.

2. The Serpent Ritual - Rebirthing (advanced)

Every now and then life gets chaotic, hectic, uninspiring, and hard to deal with. Our emotional, physical, and mental health begin to deteriorate and we end up stressed, anxious, or depressed. It is during these difficult moments that we begin to wonder about our life mission and what we came to do. It is during these times when we wish for a reset and a restart.

This combined meditation/ritual is designed to resignify your birth and to transmute negative thoughts, energy, and emotions by shedding your skin like the serpent.

The intention is to experience rebirth from a different perspective. To transmute all pain and fear, to transmute all poisons be they mental, physical, or spiritual. ​​On a physical level, we aim to experience renewal, as the Serpent sheds its skin we shed ours with clay, healing skin, hair, organs and energy field. Detoxifying our skin, mineralizing and regenerating our cells, and releasing all body aches, such as sore muscles, sunburn, and insect bites.

3. Desires, Fears and Boundaries (for everyone)

Regardless of where you are in your journey, there can be times when you feel disconnected from your desires. Also within our relationships, it can be easy to get confused about what we truly want and lose track of our boundaries.

In this Workshop, you will learn about consent, discover your own boundaries and learn to tap into the power of your own words to express what you truly desire. Learning about consent helps you relax and release anxiety, to improve your confidence and strengthen your communication skills. To deal with rejection and receive with respect a no.

Through dynamics of consent, you will find out if giving, receiving, taking, or allowing are part of your authentic yes. With authentic relating / conscious intimacy practices, you will begin to acknowledge your fears by exploring your boundaries in a safe space.

4. Self-love Ritual (advanced)

Do you say yes when you really mean no? Do you break promises to yourself or neglect your self-care? Is it hard to put yourself first?

If so, it’s time to give yourself the most important gift ever – Self love

When you make decisions out of guilt, a need to please or to avoid conflict, you overvalue the needs of others and disrespect yourself. This conveys—to yourself and those around you—that you accept very little. That doesn’t feel very good, does it?

“Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have”

At the same time we all like to spread THE LOVE, but the question is — do we have enough love for our own selves? We cannot always expect to rely only on external sources for love and that is where the concept of self-love comes in.

Self-love is your secret weapon to living a fulfilling life. That’s because your inner world creates your outer world. Before you can receive love and respect from others, you need to love and respect yourself.

The intention of this ritual is to understand what really means to love ourselves, by peeling off the layers of Self to find the deeper meaning of Love. We will journey through our emotional, energetic, and physical bodies to connect with our higher self and understand what our soul is longing for.

EVENIGN RITUAL

Angel Walk

An empowering ritual to help you uncover your inner gifts and elevate your self-love. A profound ceremony that makes you feel like an angel in heaven.

The goal of this ritual is to create an unforgettable experience for you. An experience of Who You Are as a divine precious being.

REQUIREMENTS: Everyone has to dress like an Angel or in white clothes.

Cristiano Martins Combines In His Teaching:

• Biodanza (Rolando Toro System)
• Tantra and work with sexuality
• Psychology

Biodanza (Rolando Toro System)

Biodanza is a human integration system of organic renewal of affective re- education, and of re-learning of the life original functions. Its application consists in leading vivencias (vitality, sexuality, creativity, affectivity and transcendence potentials) through music, singing, movements and group encounter situations. Biodanza integration process is carried out through the stimulation of primordial functions connected to life that allows every single person to be integrated with himself, with species and universe.

Biodanza was created in the 1960s by the Chilean anthropologist and psychologist Rolando Toro, the Biodanza system is now found in 54 countries, including Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Spain, Chile, France, Norway, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Africa, Uruguay, Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States, Colombia, Venezuela, and Belgium. Biodanza encompasses a central Foundation, a set of schools, thousands of teachers, operating as individual businesses trained to the model who are linked by a non-profit Federation to which they pay annual dues, engaging with hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic dancers around the world.

Workshops

1. AMNIOS AND FETISH

A fetish is a set of physical and psychological characteristics, which have the power to stimulate sexual desire. Height, shape of the face, skin colour, etc, they constitute the structure of a fetish. As Rolando Toro put it, “fetish is the final result of an erotic geology started in infancy.”

When we suddenly need someone as strongly as the air we breathe, it is because our fetish has sprung up, with all its magnetism and all its resonance, awakening we could say our prehistoric world, filled with a hallucinating fauna, irrational laws and insatiable hungers.

The amnios, on the other hand, seems to come from the affective resonance awakened within us by another person. We could say that the “Other” starts to fulfil a function of giving affective continent. The amnios is the womb that allows the birth of unknown potentialities. It is an “organ” that one has in the other person. In this way a physiology of the couple is established.

Security (amnion) and desire (fetiche) are two distinct human needs that stem from different impulses and push in different directions.

2. “I’M ALIVE”

In this workshop i want to stimulate the perception of oneself as part and expression of the whole, it implies a transposition of the borders of the self, the ability to surrender and at the same time being totally anchored in our the centre. It is an invitation to open up to a greater and ecstatic totality, including your fellow humans, the unconscious reality and the entire universe in all its subtle expressions, known and unknown. In Biodanza, connection to the experience of aliveness is the
body experiential perception that the divinity is not separated from the individualized being, but the two express themselves in a relationship of continuity. Being alive is a “natural function to establish essential vital and vibrant connections with everything that exists.

3. THE SACRED PATH OF THE WARRIOR | JUST FOR MEN

"Being a warrior does not require perfect victor or invulnerability. He is the absolute vulnerability. That's the only real courage. "

It is part of human universals seen in many cultures throughout the flow of the time. In the search for truth, meaning and human potential, each society metamorphosed this strength to their own needs. Many of the Great Civilizations have them 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 warriors of 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.

4. PRIMORDIAL SERPENT

The sinuous and wonderfully harmonious, undulating and sensual movements of the serpent can be characterized as an archetype of the sexual nature. Adherent, fascinating and voracious it glides with its monstrous beauty in search of its prey. Its energy goes from the pelvic area to the hypnotic eyes. Gaston Bachelard was saying that the serpent is an animalized root. Like the root, it enters the interior of the earth, representing our most primordial, obscure, inferior, chthonic world. Dancing the snake generates contact with powerful psychic energies.

EVENING EVENT

MYSTERIES OF DYONISIOS

Dionisio represents a deep voice, coming directly from a primordial source. Music and drunkenness are its means and collective ecstasy its end.

All the other gods want temples to be built, not Dionysus, he wants liveliness, presence. Lives with the Satyrs, the Nymphs and the Bacchantes, all of them illustrious representatives of the forces of nature, he lives in the flowers, lives in the blood that flows, thirsty for pleasure. In a patriarchal culture, Dionysus is the great liberator of women, creating conditions to access the maximum of pleasure and surrender.

ADDITIONAL EVENTS

Biodanza

Dance of life, heart and freedom. Biodanza is a dance of heart and freedom from South America, which originated in the 1960s. His father was 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 classes, she uses music, movement and dance to create harmony and closeness in interpersonal relationships.

Biodanza is a system of deeply transforming, yet delicate work on personal development and awareness based on work with the body, 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 wonderful dance journey through the landscapes of emotions, joy, dance and movement. It's easy. You don't need to learn any dance steps. All you need is the will to move your body and enter into a relationship with the music. We start simple - with a meeting, connecting with other people in the group, we use games and activities to relax, let go of everyday matters and get to know each other. We move deep into the dance, passionately devoting ourselves to music, experiencing individually and as a group. From here we go even deeper into the exercises of meeting and connecting with others to heal, discover and express. Biodanza integrates body, mind, emotions and soul. It awakens vitality, creativity, sensuality, sexuality and emotionality. It teaches openness, joy, building good relationships and expressing emotions.

She used to lived in Mozambique, East Africa for years, and her time in the capital city of Maputo included extensive training in traditional dance with the performance company Hodi Maputo Afro Swing, as well as research in traditional emotional and sexual healing practices.

She founded “Life Is Rhythm”, “Dance into Your Lust,” and ”Move into Kink” which includes aspects of her experience in Africa, as well as dance and movement therapy, tantra, conscious kink and somatic trauma therapy.

Before working with tantra I was a sex educator and dancer for many years and now my body of work is focused on the connection between movement, pleasure, and healing, and on self-expression and our innate gender fluidity

Li’s background in studies comes from : 

• 7 Years of teaching sex education in Sweden
• A 10 years relationship with Mozambique and sacred traditions of dancing, healing and sexual practices with local tribes. 
• Therapy trainings:  Dance Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, SOMA embodiment and NARM.
• Wheel of consent Training ”Like a Pro” with Betty Martin
• Several tantra trainings and retreats 

Workshops

1. African Secret Love Ritual for Women

Among some people in Mozambique and Tanzania, there is a rite of passage held when women are about to get married.

What is known on the outside is that they learn how to become a good wife and how to take care of the home. However, what is often more hidden is that they go through a secret love-making ritual. In Tanzania, it’s commonly called Kitchen Party and in Mozambique Kolaya.

The women are here taught empowerment through traditional dances. They learn how to appreciate their own bodies, move their waist in a pleasurable way, and how to make love in a way that create deep connection and satisfies them.

This knowledge has been passed on through generations and gives girls and women an opportunity to be confident and know what they want and do not want when it comes to sexuality.

Li has been taught by Julieth Chuwa from Tanzania and Mama Ema from Mozambique who both feel proud of her passing on this knowledge,

2. Healthy Partnerships!

What is the difference between an adult healthy relationship and one that is driven by attachment? Li will share their knowledge and give simple exercises to separate our childhood needs from sexual desires for you to understand the consequences when these get mixed up… Be prepared emotionally for a deeper journey.

3. "Move into ConsciousKink"Playing with Dominance and Submission

To lead and to follow, to give and to receive, to dominate and submit. To submit is not only to give your power away. It is to trust, adore and surrender fully to love. Let movementbring you beyond your normal gender roles and see how love and trust are the foundation of any kinky play and how it can take you to new levels of itimacy.

4. Dance into Your Lust - Where non-Duality Meets the non-Binary

Shake it loose and break free. Using Afro-Brazilian rhythms and their orixás, the African deities, we will dance and expand who we can be. As we understand our body and its energies, we can discover how yin and yang live inside of us as two powerful we can access resources independently of gender. Tantra can in this way invite us to connect to our inner oneness, our divine union within.

EVENIGN RITUAL

Tantric Dance Ritual / Love stories

Dance is the perfect tantric practice. There is no goal in a dance more than being present in the connection to the music and those we dance with. In this ritual we will create a space for you to unleash yourself and meet others without expectations, sensing each others bodies, learning how to lead and follow and melt together. After the dance you say thank you and get ready for the next. Let each dance become a three minute love story.

This workshop will be a deeply transformative tantric massage experience using breathing techniques. Pleasure embodied, senses expanded and pineal gland activated.

I invite you to an energy massage that will free you from your worries layer by layer

and it will allow you to look at yourself from a new perspective. The massage focuses on the human energy centres called chakras. You will experience intense work with breath and touch. You allow yourself to experience. Everything in a safe and ritual atmosphere of the temple massages.

During my practice I use tools from the Far East, Tantra Kriya Yoga, shamanic healing practices. Thanks to this massage you will relax, raise your vibrations and get out of the limiting framework. Allow yourself to enjoy and feel.

2. Introduction to Tantra Kriya Yoga

I invite you to a workshop where you will learn and practice deeply transforming tantric breath, which comes from the ancient technique of Tantra Kriya Yoga. We will activate the energies of the elements in our first 4 chakras - the energy centres of the human body. We will create a circle community. We will harmonize male and female energy in the subtle body.

Kriya Yoga is a spiritual practice that, through breathwork and asanas, allows you to awaken energy and connect with your higher Self. It combines the will of man with the cosmic will through the mind control and change. In addition, it allows you to maintain a healthy body and good condition. It gives strength and youth to the whole body. It leads your mind to the higher consciousness.

>MORNING ACTIVITY:

Activation of 3 energy channels. The main one, called Shushumna, runs along our spine. The Left Channel - called Ida, located on the left side of our spine and the Right Channel - called Pingala on the right side of the spine. The left channel symbolizes passive, lunar energy and is responsible for our mental processes. The right channel is responsible for vital processes and symbolizes active solar energy.

Shushumna - the main channel - is responsible for our Spiritual Awakening.

We will strengthen and activate all those three energy channels.

Workshops

1. The drops of wisdom, the Egyptian path

As light and sound, electricity and magnetism are part of the inseparable aspects of the same phenomenon. The cosmos makes available to us an inexhaustible amount of energy, which we can also generate, which we can take through our magnetic power. Practicing the Alchemy of Immortality, is to take the energy of the vital force, through the magnetism, into the spine and receive the energy of the universe, to spiritualize matter and materialize the spirit. We will be initiated in the Egyptian Tantra visualisations, Rituals, breathwork and Kriyas to awake, move and expand life in the bodies.

*Breathwork. Energy work. Visualizations.

2. Isis and Horus sexual healing

To honour and adore our feminine and masculine polarity (our electrical and magnetic power, the spiritual and material, etc.), is to heal our cellular memory and at all levels of Being, our lineage, is to fill ourselves with gratitude and joy.

From the Egyptian Tantra we will live this cure, incorporating the Goddess Isis and her power of healing and resurrection through the magic of initiation, and the God Horus and his power of projection of solar energy.

This sexual healing is done through Ritual, Kriyas and visualisations.

*Breathwork. Energy work. Emotional healing. Partner needed.

3. Kundalini arising

The great snake can remain asleep all our lives. Awakening this power of our psycho-organism or Kundalini Shakti allows us to open our entire Being, illuminating and liberating. This ecstatic experience awakens our clairvoyance and healing power. When the Kundalini experience is prolonged, it is possible to "distil" part of its energy in the region of the heart and store it there. Its effect is that emotions are heightened and a compassionate love invades the centre of the heart.

*Breathwork. Energy work. Emotional healing. Orgasmic yoga. Sufi dance.

4. Compassionate heart

We all want to receive or give more love, to feel love more deeply. We generally expect this to happen through another, and often feel that it is never enough. Love is not something that comes from an external source, love has to be practiced, and through our practice it is how we can really feel it and awaken the compassionate heart, activate the feeling of unity and awaken the sense of non-separation. We will practice love through the consent wheel and the Tantra Tibetan path.

*Breathwork. Emotional healing. Massage. Visualization and meditation. Partner needed.

EVENING CEREMONY/RITUAL

"Litha", the Midsummer wiccan great rite

Litha, in Celtic, means fire, heat and sunlight. This celebration of the summer solstice is today known from Christianity as the feast of San Juan. It is one of the most important festivals of Wiccanism, in which joy and happiness are celebrated. It is a festivity linked to the world of fairies, so in addition to the dances around the fire and night baths, it is a good time to gather plants and herbs, communicate with fairies and spirits of the forest, and to perform love spells and rituals (we will practice a self-love ritual).

*Fire and water Rite

In my shamanic retreats, I create a safe spiritual healing environment for personal insight and growth of inner strength and wisdom. Using ancient rituals and techniques, I invite people to reconnect with Mother Nature's deep wisdom and inner healer, guide and allies.

Workshops

1. SHAMANIC DRUM JOURNEY

The Shamanic Drum journey is a way to travel inside to the sound of the shaman drum. This is an ancient healing journey and can help you to heal old wounds and traumatic experiences from the past. Rishi will guide you into the inside of the earth, to encounter healing places, spiritual allies and helpers to clean and cleanse, find visions and inspiration. The shaman's drum is one of the oldest healing tools and is used in many cultures to create a space for the spirit to heal and cleanse.

Shamanic drum

The shaman drum is the basic tool of the shamanic journey and is often called the "shaman's boat" or "shaman's mount". The shaman does not play the drum - the shaman awakens the spirit of the drum... The monotonous beating of the drum in the rhythm of about 200-220 beats per minute causes a deep meditative state, altered states of consciousness and trance.

2. SHAMAN's RETURN - A shamanic healing meditation

Shamans Return is meditation in five stages in an easy format for the daily practice. It's a great way to shake and dance off the stress and pressure of a nine to five (or even more?) workday.... The music is tribal and rhythmic, transporting. Dynamic drums, percussions and voices support the first two active stages... Then the shamanic medicine drums take you onto their wings. Plus some soothing sounds of Sansula and monochord to get you back.

What is "shamanic", what is a shaman?

To me, a shamanic practice is about generating an atmosphere of healing. From the old language - healing comes from whole - so shamanic practice it is about becoming whole, or: to fill the hole(s). All shamanic ceremony, ritual and prayer, as well as many symbols are conceived as Medicine

Shamanic practice is based on the understanding that we - as human beings - are not separate, but part of nature/existence, and therefore we find everything we need to stay healthy and/or to become whole again - in nature, in ourselves - open and responsible. To me, all healing is about Traumas - wounds of shock that mostly happened in our childhood as well as in war or other turmoil of live.

A shaman is someone with an inner drive to support himself and others to reconnect to their own inner power, to become whole and powerful.

20 years ago I met Frank Natale. Frank was a pioneer in the field of personal growth and self-awareness seminars and helped in many ways to take the shamanic / spiritual approach back into our western culture.

In his trainings I reconnected with many of my long forgotten childhood  memories about nature and spirit and got inspired to share this knowledge and the techniques I learned.

I offer trancedance, shamanic journeys, meditations and various other techniques and practices for spiritual growth and self-healing, on my own as well as with various partners. Since I'm a musician, I always use live music for most of the events to support the quality of "being in the moment", in the "Here and Now". Besides - the quality of live music,  played on real instruments in real time helps people to step much easier into the "otherworld".

3. SHAMANIC SHAKING - Shamanic Cleansing Meditation

This active shamanic meditation consists of four stages. It starts with Gibberish, a form of expressing emotions through the voice by using sounds with no meaning. The next part is Shaking. Shaking the body is a very natural way to let go of old, energies in the body. By shaking intensely, stuck and rigid muscles can loose it's tightness and become relaxed. The third phase is Dancing. Dancing is another way of becoming more relaxed and loose in the body. Allowing the body to express and letting go of control. The last stage is Silence. Just stand or sitting, watching and witnessing our breath and whatever is. No action, open and quiet, letting go.

4. HO’OPONOPONO RITUAL  – Healing power

Ho'oponopono is a ritual of forgiveness from the Hawaiian islands. In the Kahuna tradition, forgiveness is an important part of healing our wounds and traumas. It is important for the soul to let go of old emotional attachments to other beings. When you are able to really forgive others or yourself, the emotional bonds are cleansed and many bourdons can be released and relaxed. This is a very powerful method to heal in a completely unobtrusive way. Rishi will guide you into a meditative space with his voice and the support of Dhwani's soft, delicate soundscapes.

ADDITIONAL EVENTS

Concert “Healing Sound And Gongbath”

Dhwani and Rishi are inviting you on a meditative magical journey with a colourful kaleidoscope of natural sounds to relax and go into a deep healing meditative space.

Our whole body is opening to resonate with the relaxing and healing vibrations. With Flutes, Voices, Tibetan Soundbowls, Gongs and other instruments they create heartful, warm and spacious sound-spheres to invite our cells to resonate with healing, harmonious vibrations. This ancient technique of sound vibrations for healing, in particular so called "overtones", is used since millennia, especially in eastern cultures, and has returned into our consciousness more and more. Enjoy a wonderful evening of deep relaxation. Please bring a yoga mat or blanket to lay or sit down.

Trancedance – The Map Of The Soul. Shamanic Trance Journey Into Yourself

Trance Dance is an ancient technique to connect with our inner spaces to find healing, clarity and inspiration and to connect with the inner wisdom that lies within each of us.

Through the rhythms of Trance Dance, Rishi Vlote invites you to explore your inner world, heal trauma and release emotional and physical tension. Rishi has been teaching Trance Dance for over 25 years, has recorded many albums, and playing percussion and drums live, he creates a unique workshop atmosphere that allows participants to enter deep processes. Rishi will support you in finding your wild side and the silence of meditation. His records are widely used for conscious dance and self-awareness workshops.

Using unique rhythms, Trance Dance takes participants on a transformative Inner Journey. Ritual trance travel has always been a living part of shamanic and eastern cultures that have existed for thousands of years. The modern approach to Trance Dance combines the richness of ancient rituals with modern, extremely effective techniques.

Trance is about letting go of everything you see, hear, and feel. Experiencing this will open access to spaces within you that you know nothing about. And that's what trans is.

One of the oldest and easiest ways to experience healing states is trance dance. Blindfolded, using the energizing breath technique (Breath of Fire), the Inner Journey begins.

"Close your eyes, put on a blindfold, focus on your intention, start breathing fire, move to the beat of the music - this is how you enter a trance...". Alert, aware and awake, and yet - in the vast inner space where the laws of physics no longer apply - you can meet wild animals, spirits, angels, spiritual allies, healers and Guides... You can meet other beings, find yourself in forest or mountains, in your past or future...

Trust your body, allow yourself to move and express your body - and when the trance ends, you will be calm, full of energy and richer for many impressions..

Trance dancing is one of the oldest ways to reconnect with your inner forces - an empowering, uplifting and energizing experience. It's a great way to get out of old habits and look at your life in a different way.

Dance/trance with eyes closed creates a different focus. The energy that we normally use to look, to gain approval, to try to connect with others, is to look inward, to open up to our emotions and memories. The TranceDance approach is the opposite of traditional dance - there are no steps to learn, no special clothes (except those that are as comfortable as possible). Instead, try to let go of control, let your body move to the rhythm of your inner Power.

Trance Dance is an intercultural phenomenon. The cultures of all continents on our planet have created unique dance forms based on contact with the animal world and elements of nature present in their surroundings. The purpose of such a dance was to connect with the spirit of the sun, moon, spirits of various animals and plants. People believed that through dance rituals, the spirits residing within nature could enhance qualities such as courage, compassion, and bring insights about the future.

Trance dance is primarily focused on the healing process and spiritual development. Through dancing in the dark, participants discover parallel worlds where they find solutions to problems previously experienced as unsolvable.

During the Trance Dance we disappear, we become like ghosts and at the same time we become less attached to the difficulties encountered in everyday life, which means that we can free ourselves from them.

From the very beginning of recorded history, we find evidence of dance. It seems that our original relationship to dance involved worship and healing. Animistic cultures saw nature and all its manifestations as an expression of Spirit. Copying or imitating nature through movement and sound has been a powerful and effective tool to help connect with spirit. This was the beginning of the dance. For thousands of years, spiritual dances have been used to maintain and improve our relationship with the Earth. The imitation of nature in the dance helped to tune in with the vibration of the creator. Dance was synonymous with what we call prayer, worship, and when practiced regularly, it provided physical health and vitality.

"The Dancer Belongs to the Spirit"

In addition, dance was the gateway to the soul or "inner spirit", so to dance in a trance state meant to come into contact with spiritual forces that heal. This is the 'shamanic' perspective on the Trance Dance experience.

Workshops

1. HInner Kid’s Playground

We all know by now we have an inner child right? But how often do you play together with yours? How often do you listen to them? Do you know how to call your inner child out? To invite them to play? In this workshop we are going to learn how to call our inner child out to play! And playing is the best way to learn about:

• Authenticity: discover your most free version of yourself
• Compassion: love your brothers and sister the way they are
• Unity: find yourself a genuine part of a group

It is going to be a light and fun play to access good and pleasant memories, feel sensations in your body and live emotions with presence. Are you ready to go downstairs to the playground and play and have fun with other kids?

2. Men’s Workshop - Energies’ Archetypes

“It is a men’s world”, says the music. Yes it is, we know the privileges we have by just being a man. But there are also lots of pressures as well.

Together in this workshop we will learn how to connect with our male and female energies.

Yes we all have them both and most of the times they are unbalanced, one is too dominant in relation to the other.

We will feel those energies in our bodies and express them out (maybe for the first time consciously). It will be an investigative process done by you within your body and emotions.

As a bonus we will get to know other men and see that we are not alone when it comes to our struggles and joys.

 Many of the performances she creates are made as rituals, meant to be shared experiences of transformation and healing. The core of her work is a detailed practice in the relationship between body and voice and how this can be brought to performance and composition. Her research with the body and voice has led to an in-depth and ongoing development of this connection which she calls Embodied Voice Practices. This practice utilizes integrative somatic trauma therapy techniques and focuses the output in vocal expression, which is a deeply healing and transformative process. Julianna specializes in the research and practice of vocal lamentation, giving shape and voice to our pain and loss, which has become a through line in all of her work. She continues to research the technical, historical and contemporary aspects of lamentation in different European countries, performing and teaching internationally.

MORNING EVENT

1. Awaken and Vibrate- Physical and Vocal activation!

A morning session to awaken the body, activate the senses and open the process of voice and vocal release. Through a flow of movement and breath we will awaken sound vibrations within the body -resonating the bones and tissues- creating a visceral understanding of the voice and enlivening new possibilities for vocal and heart expression. Then, through shared and held space, witness and support of community and the powerful act of vocalizing, our feelings can become a thing of beauty that we can transform and release.

2. Somatic Processing and Ancestral Voice

A somatic (body/psyche/spirit) and vocal practice that guides participants through physical movements that mimic patterns of development within the mother’s womb. Then there is a kind of re-emerging process. In this vulnerable state we invoke the ancestors in a ritual way and through a process of vocalizing we “channel” messages from our ancestors. It is a powerful process or both integration and channelling.

3. Pranayama and Power Song

Finding our “power song” or “soul song” develops through a deep connection to the inner-landscape of the body and a connection with the higher self or supraconscious. A journey through somatic and vocal processing that incorporates pranayama breath work and then vocal release, revealing something from deep within us that can be shaped in a simple song with a message encoded. This soul song is something that we can return to again and again in order to center and align ourselves with our higher purpose.

EVENING EVENT

1. Sound Journey/ Concert

A sound journey collaboration with Julianna Bloodgood and Robert Radzimirski that will take you on a physical and energetic journey with voice, instruments, singing bowls, drums and electronic beats designed to stimulate the heart, body and soul. This experience will begin through ritual space, guided yoga Nidra and then gently bring participants into the inner landscapes of their being through sound and music. A journey meant to be both deeply healing and ecstatically liberating.

2. Shared Voice/ Performance

A participatory vocal and musical event of mantras, structured improvisation and collective singing. Julianna will lead all those present to sing and give voice together. Participants are encouraged to bring their instruments and drums.
