    Shastro / MORNING MINDFULNESS SESSION

    Shastroʼs meditation sessions are usually divided into two parts: In the first one, he shares his understanding of what meditation is and he often invites people to ask questions or share their experiences, making it a lively and ʼtailoredʼ session for the participants. The second part is mostly in silence interspersed with gentle suggestions, guiding the practitioners into maintaining their attention in the present moment and encouraging them to witness all that arises within consciousness. At times he also uses walking as a way to bring practitioners to experience a sense of meditation in movement.

    Kamadevi / TANTRIC PULSATIONS

We explore our spontaneity and energy in order to unlock our potential for sensuality and liveliness.

Practices are easy and suitable for people without previous yoga experience. When we do yoga practices together on one mat, we learn a great deal about ourselves and the partner. Bring a (practice)partner or find someone on the spot. PS: it is not Acro Yoga! Feet will stay down. One yoga mat is needed for two people.

    Shastro / DOORWAY TO SILENCE

    The senses - a natural gift we all received with this physical form - are like a doorway that in one direction leads to the perception of the outer world but once we invert the direction it takes us to the inner space and to the one who perceives. From the objects to the subject. Or we can say from the content to the container. In this meditation we use the sense of hearing as our entry doorway. When we listen attentively the traffic in our heads naturally stops because consciousness, engaged in the sensorial perception, is removed from the thinking process. Through music - and all the surrounding sounds - alternating with periods of meditative silence, we will be able to be more present to the Now and perceive the inner space - that is alive and beyond time - in which everything happens.


  • This is time of the day when we all meet, share where we are and how we feel. Time for little dance and games. Workshops leaders will have short introductions to their groups.

  • Abhika / KASHMIRI TANTRA MASSAGE

    Kashmiri massage deeper than any other massages as it firmly initiates a stream of vitality through explicit body position (asanas). Kashmiri massage is a deep healing process where awareness, meditation and sensuality merge together. It awakens your heart and provides you strength, confidence and inner bliss, unites the body as a whole and brings a feeling of oneness. Through this massage, a deep felt desire to let go and surrender is realised. You feel connected, rooted and centered, vital and powerful.

  • Singing Circle with Shastro (mantras and songs): Singing together is one of the most ancient but also forgotten way to feel the One Heart that connects us all. When we unite our voices, we start vibrating on the same frequency, bringing us to feel all connected to each other. This helps our joy for life to come to the surface to be expressed and experienced.
