Joyce:
The first time I heard the name “Naropa”, something resonated in me. This was characterized mainly in the authenticity and the pure life that I met in him. The satsangs and private appointments made my cells vibrating, my heart opened and I came back to life. I experience a strong, clear, loving and equivalent connection with Naropa. From heart to heart, spirit to spirit.

Sweatlodge
I learned about the sweatlodge in America with the Lakota people. The main influence came from a Medicine Man called Basil Brave Heart who is now in his late eighties. I continue to be inspired in this way through Wolf Martinez. The sweatlodge is a cleansing ritual in which we experience the elements and the power of praying very closely. We sit together to pray for us , our families and the world.
Mitakuye Oyasin To all my relations

 

 

 

The Journey
It is a beautiful and profound way to go inside and get access to trauma, old stored emotions and memories.These traumas can rule our lives, restrict our energy and cause disease at every level.
Using a guided visualization, we look for the memories stored in our body.
Then an inner conversation takes place. Everything from that time should be met and allowed  now and expressed what not has been said and felt.
When all is expressed there will be  reconciliation. The hurt will be released.

 

 

Yoga & Dans workshop
Durga Kali
Both Goddesses represent the power to enter into inner demons in yourself and defeat them.Durga, the warrior-mother who fights for justice and freedom. Her arms protect against danger from the outside and inside. (Negative thoughts and patterns) Kali is the power of daring to look at death, the ultimate power of destruction in the service of light. When needed she emerged from the 3rd eye of Durga to lead you to true inner freedom.In this workshop we will connect with and make use of the qualities of these two warrior goddesses of Indian mythology. The starting point is the story of the classic battle between light and darkness and the role of these goddesses. They symbolize our inner struggle between these forces and open and strengthen the power of love and light. We do this in a unique combination of Yoga (with Maneesha) and Dance (with Mati). From Yoga with specific mantras, postures and meditations and from dance, music and free movement. So we can transform our resistance , empowering our inner strength and find ourselves in love and freedom.

 

 

The Inner Goddess
In this workshop you will get the opportunity to experience original female powers, based on the archetypal energy of four Celtic goddesses. Through inner journeys, music, movement, ritual, nature experiences and other creative expressions you come into contact with the virgin, the lover, the mother and the old wise woman yourself. These energies of life exists in both men and women, so both are welcome.
