These times ask a lot from us and we need to be able to carry more than ever before.

Well, the stronger we are and the more we care about outselves, emptying us from an old patterns not serving us, the more space we get not only to survive, but also to live even more fully.

Flow

We are mostly the water, as our body consists of a high percentage of moisture. And we are the flow of vibrations, containing and mixing with surrounding.

Forest Bathing

New and old vertile forests collected all ingredients to get so into their silence, as to the opening of all your senses, almost literally bathing in the old mosses or birds' songs to feel all in one, in yourself.

Tibetan Singing Bowls

Resonate, so within, as without

Resonance

The vibration or so-called, the resonance of the bowl after striking one can resonate deeply in our body. Opening and supporting to the healing or the transformational process.

Depth

For centuries, the singing bowls were used by Buddhist Monks during meditations. It helped to sink deeper in the body, offering an anchor for better concentration and healing.

About the facilitators:

Gerrit Snellenburg

One of the ceremonies in the Chapell, the Netherlands

Gerrit Snellenburg

“To move forward, it is sometimes necessary to come to a complete standstill, to rediscover yourself, to recognize, acknowledge and feel and express hidden emotions, so that our life energy starts flowing again and you can start moving again”.
Gerrit was from a young age interested in the supernatural. He practiced for many years meditation, followed retreats at various Buddhist centers, as well training courses in the field of energy. It sharpened his intuition and energetic work.

To mention some of the courses: a sound masseur at Peter Hess®, breathing courses, Reiki, NLP and the Shamanic Practitioner training.

From the Shamanic point of view, he can help, for example, to discover a power animal, or to explore the sourse of a pattern causing the same problems.

Vlada Vladyslava Lisinenko

Celebrating the end of the retreat, around the Midsummer

Vladyslava (Vlada) Lisinenko

“Beauty heals the world”.

Vladyslava's life path was already from her childhood fascinating. Partly because of growing up in the Soviet Union and consciously experiencing the old state and huge changes there.

The mixing of different cultures, facets and disciplines not only led to surprising new forms of her activities, but also shone still more light on the matters of 'full potential', 'beauty', 'authentic self-expression'. These themes were always triggerring her and inviting to explore them more deeply.

It is her core purpose to expand more awakening about Beauty, it's essence and it's healing potential.

She developed inspiring trainings and tools that are guiding people to their authentic being. Through freeing from not-serving patterns and mechanismes, finding out their unique talents and grounding in their original power. Find out more

Johan Rabén

The main characters of Marapoteket, Stockholm

Johan Rabén

The founder of the Raw Food restaurant Matapoteket in Stockholm.

Johan is mostly known from his and his wife Maria adventure running the popular restaurant in Stockholm. A big love for good food and the knowledge about its medicinal working created not only delicious dishes, but also a very original concept. As 'mat' in Swedish means the food, they created in fact an alternative to the farmacy.
At this moment Johan builds a special retreat center, surrounded by fields and woods. And you can guess, which project is ready at first place! Of course, the green house, that became at the end of the summer a real jungle full of different vegetables.
It offers Johan an ultime combination of his passions, food and wood, because originally he is a good carpenter.
Johan is frequently asked as chef during different retreats in Sweden, so we are honored that he will cook for us!

Articles about the healing affect of cound:

Heart cells affected by sound

Research at Stanford University is finding acoustics to create new heart tissue!

This image shows the ‘cymatics’, or geometric patterns created in heart cells when applying various sounds. In bio-acoustic sound medicine, is taught that sounds are imprinting every cell and science continues to prove this ancient axiom.

Cardiologist Sean Wu, MD, PhD and Utkan Demirci, PhD, an acoustic bio-engineer use acoustics to manipulate heart cells into intricate patterns. A simple change in frequency and amplitude puts the cells in motion, guides them to a new position and holds them in place. Acoustics can create a form that resembles natural cardiac tissue. With sound they can create new tissue to replace parts of damaged hearts. Acoustics can be used in reconstructing other organ tissue and blood vessels.

Sounds are use to create and harmonize, as well as clean and release. Both principles are used in science using high precision acoustical generators. The same principles can be applied safely by individuals using non-invasive, natural harmonic sounds, such as our voices and acoustic instruments.
