FELT SENSE TRANCE
4 hours long all-immersive transformative session to embody peace, love and prosperity for all. Healing Yoga, Transformative Dance and Shamanic Sound Healing.
Natural High Festival
Eduard Kouwen (Natural High), Branka Zgonjanin (Embody Peace dance technique) and Mattijs Snoei (De Volle Zon) teamed up to intertwine some juicy spiritual practices together and to develop an inspirational and empowering experience for everyone interested into deep relaxation, inner growth and community building.
The session starts with Eduard’s Healing Yoga. We will tap into feeling the body and what it needs. As we learn to speak the language of our body and listen more closely to what it has to say to us, it will set us on a path of recovery, healing and a happier, healthier and more balanced state in which our energy flows freely. We will loosen the back from down to the top by exercises from the Kundalini yoga tradition. We sink into meditative yoga by different Yin-stretches. After a few intense endurance exercises, we will end in a meditation.
Sound: Eduard’s part will be supported by the meditative sounds played by plants in real time via special devices / Practice: Kundalini and Yin yoga
From a meditative state of mind, penetrated slowly by tantric downtempo tunes mixed by Branka (DJ Iskra Bela), we will venture on a journey deeper into our bodies and senses. Branka has been developing her unique technique of Embody Peace since 2011. The technique is merging multiple disciplines, starting from contemporary dance, body work, tantra, living close to nature and Earth’s pulse, shamanism and art. In this multifaceted practice, we are invited to abandon the known and the visitable, and to turn back to our feeling from inside of the body – to ground into all of our senses at the same time. To arrive there we will go through complex exercises which involve our imagination and physical activation of our animalistic powers. This technique is primarily geared towards finding blockages in the body and turning them into softness and openness, in order to create an inner peace. Branka believes that people who embody peace, which is an ongoing daily practice, bring so needed peace to the world.
Sound: tantric organic house world music by DJ Iskra Bela / Practice: Embody Peace dance
When we are undone by the dancing practice, we will be taken even deeper into our inner processes with Mattijs’s Shamanic Sound Healing. Mattijs will spiritually open the space with the sounds of the drum, crystal singing bowls, rattles, and other resonating indigenous instruments. He will protect the space and make it available for our ancestors and guides to assist us on our journey into the Underworld of our souls where we will meet our power animals. Here we will be able to strengthen even more our connection to the Earth and to natural living, since our animals will guide us into this connection. Mattijs’ Dreamscape offers healing for body, soul and spirit. It will finish on the surface of the Earth, back to our bodies, full of fresh and uplifting energy.
Sound and practice : Shamanic Sound Healing
During this 4-hours long journey we will raise our Kundalini high, and together arrive into a trance. Aside of personal healing, this is a ritual for our global tribe, to renew the power of love and self-healing.
