The 5 gifts for challenging times

Grow stronger in your life and heal from your past

Sept 30 & Oct 1 2023,
in the Netherlands

“Immerse yourself in the sacred energies of the Damanhur temples”

“Be inspired to reach your full potential”

“Dive deep into your own soul with intensive SoulCollage® work”

Tranform yourself into a strong and balanced person

As you step back from the ‘busy-ness’ of the external world of people, activities, and things, your Unconscious can guide you to a place of healing and quietude where you can let your soul catch up.

Floating effortlessly, without having to ‘do’ anything or make anything happen, you can connect with a source of inner knowing , resilience and compassion.

Awaken your inner power

There is no app needed to help you navigate. Through guided meditation, mind-body exercises and  SoulCollage(®) you may even be surprised to find that you have always known the way.  It is yours and yours alone.

As with any expedition, we journey as our unique selves who come together to form a community of explorers who venture into the inner world in search of inspiration.

Throughout the weekend we will share teachings and experiential activities drawn from ancient spiritual wisdom, indigenous cultures, Jungian psychology and neuroscience to create a magical experience for your mind-body and soul.

You will learn how people in different cultures are able to live through upheaval, conflict, and instability with gratitude and grace.

And you will receive five gifts for hope, healing, strength, and resilience.

It is our hope and intention that you will  go home feeling spiritually nourished, relaxed and refreshed, ready to re-enter the external world with a stronger sense of your own inner strengths and potentials you never knew you had.
