The way we bond with our parents in the very first years of our lives, have a great impact on our ability to connect to others later on in life. The connection with our family members, and especially parental attachment, forms an extremely important base for how we feel and behave many years later. Especially the parts of our parents that we reject, can still influence us as adults. Many patterns that are not serving us, that we try to get rid of, but somehow always seem to come back, are related to our system of origin, the family within we grew up.

In this workshop, we will learn simple yet powerful pranayamas, mantras and mudras that will bring healing to our imbalance. Some mantras are directly awakening the intelligence of a particular organ, known as “Bija mantras” (or Beeja mantras) while others are a formula of a few words. These words are in Sanskrit, the oldest language known. Sanskrit is a vibrational language. Like music, regardless of which language is your mother tongue, music still touches and awakens our inner waters, thereby you don’t have to “believe” in this. It is a science, quoting Victoria’s teacher dr. Vasant Lad: "believe it or not, it works”.

Do you wish to be more centred in your body instead of lost in your restless mind? Do you long for true peace and inner stability and leave behind the worries, anxiety and mental and emotional stress? Is there a wish to truly come home to yourself, find contentment that does not depend on circumstances? Or perhaps you feel that there is tension and blockages in your body but you don't know how to release this? Then this breathwork course could be for you.

We currently have a worldwide epidemic of stress and anxiety that is stifling our happiness, creativity, and intimacy. In this workshop, Max Strom will reveal his core principles of breathing and movement patterns to alleviate anxiety, PTSD, depression, and sleep disorder based on his two decades of teaching and his in-depth knowledge of Hatha Yoga and Qi Gong.

Discover the power of the science of sound and breath. As we experience daily life, mental stress can wear down the body’s intelligence, vigor, and vitality. Physical stress through improper diet or lifestyle according to our nature can also cause disharmony in our physical body. In this workshop, we will learn simple yet powerful pranayamas, mantras and mudras that will bring healing to our imbalance.

A sound bath is a group healing experience that uses sound to induce a meditative state. It’s an almost effortless way to achieve a deeper meditation as the sounds help to facilitate shifts in our brainwaves.

Reset and replenish with a microdose of sacred stones (truffels) and the sounds of wood and crystal. After opening the space together you indulge yourself in a wave of songs and sounds. A microdose of our homegrown sacred stones is offered to invite you to dive a little deeper into this musical journey.

In this workshop given by Ira Hardjosusono and Elke Brouwers, we will use light physical practice, chakra- and breathwork, music and mantra’s to explore and experience the power of the voice. It is not about singing beautifully, it is about letting the vibrations of your voice to travel through your body to all places which need to be touched. Just like taking a torch and giving them light.

Discover the power of your voice! Feel free when you speak, free to make noise. Take up your space. Voice liberation is a form of free expression that gives energy and helps release emotions. What yoga does for the body, voice liberation does for the voice and emotions.

Our Women's Circles are spaces where everyone can feel safe, heard, and connected to one another. A space where there is no judgement, where vulnerability and authenticity are perceived as truly powerful and courageous qualities. A space where we can heal and connect to our true nature.
