Ceremony of Ease - Yin & Cacao Journey to create space & invite in tranquillity (by donation)

*no certificate required anymore*

Ceremony of Ease - relax your nervous system, calm your mind, nourish your body & connect to your heart

February 26th / 10 am - 1:30 pm

Let's get clear - we all have those times when sh*t hits the fan and life seems like a giant mess. Either it’s the inside or the outside that seem off. Sometimes the outside is very fine and yet inside you it feels not enough. 

Other times the outside goes so crazy that it brings you inwards and then..what? What to do if your partner breaks up out of the blue? How to deal with life without a job or being self-employed in a crisis? And how to change a life that seems perfect from the outside but it isn’t nourishing you from inside because your heart feels dead?

We don’t know what’s going on in anyone’s life beside that one person living their life. What we need is less judgement and more safe spaces to process through such phases. A few hours where we can simply let go of holding ourselves together and pretending all is okay. 

A space where we know we won’t be distracated and have to calculate well what to share and what not but simply feel all that is. A space where we can cry and laugh, think all the scarry thoughts and open up courageously to new possibilities in life. A Journey Back to Your Heart. A safe and sacred space to slow down, be in your body, feel your heart and release some of the baggage to leave that space feeling a bit more grounded, clear, connected to yourself and open to idea that you can trust your intuition.

Inviting in EASE into our being. And from there into our lives and everyone that encounters us.

Yin Yoga is a very simple practice for every body. You don’t need to have any experience, simply be open to try out a new method to tune inside yourself without anyone dictating you what to do in your life, what to feel, how to solve, how how how blablablabla. But simply be and have SPACE to figure it out for yourself. 

We hold the yin shapes for a few minutes, practice breathing through the challenges and feel the comfortable as well as the uncomfortable, not push thoughts away but let them flow. We open our hearts again. We move from numbness to aliveness. Because feeling is healing.

We'll be drinking a Cacao that is super grounding and yet bringing so much lightness, relaxation and softness into our physical bodies but also our hearts. We have a moment to feel, melt, be soft and take a break of performing.

In society where everything has to happen fast, yesterday and without mess, in the ceremonial spaces created by Aleks you’re invited to embrace the Human Experience without that whole bla bla bla around love and light and we’re all one and bla bla bla *insert another spiritual sentence you’re tired of hearing*. 

We’re on Planet Earth, it’s intense, let’s deal with life and start managing our systems so that we can feel like we’re living our lives for ourselves and not try to be someone who we are not. Less shoulds, more heart connection. Less “it’s just like that”, more flow. Less chronic disatisfaction and more curiousity and aliveness.

It’s YOUR life. Release the bullsh*t and discover what feels right to you.

A Journey Back to Your Heart.

This Journey starts with a Meditation and Pranayama (yogic breathing technique), after arriving and setting our intentions, we embark on our Cacao & Yin Yoga Journey. We close it with a Sea of Om Meditation and then there will be tea and snacks served in our lounge area where you can have a chat.
