When answering, I will be both harsh and try to inspire a little. My observations when writing about closeness and intimacy, as well as working with people in private, is sad - most of us have not opened half of who they are to each other. We live together or are about to build lives together with people whose innermost being we know nothing about.
Here I am not talking about habits, about secrets of the past - all this will come out in time, when the time is right and a safe environment. But in the core - I see that the couples will look into each other's soul, to see the truth that there is both day and night, the sun and the moon, both the illuminated and the dark, the dark matter that is yet to be formed. We do not accept the other's basic essence - growth. And we do not accept the basic goal of the relationship - to grow together, which does not necessarily mean growing in the same direction. It means finding the touches, the ways of interacting, that foster that growth. Both own and other's growth.
CONNECTION is made to inspire, to sway couples to really start seeing each other, in their deepest essence.
That is why the code word "initiation" is also the transition from one state of maturity to another. Right now is the right time to do it - nature is "dressed up", everything wants to flourish, grow, be together. The same thing happens deep inside with people, it would be nice to open right now, when all nature supports it - that's why we will be in the middle of the forest, in a beautiful place, fresh and green.
This event is for everyone who has the feeling that "there must be more", that it's time for another level.
Would it be a couple about to get married. Or those who wish to invite a child into this world. Are there people who have been together for a long time who want to celebrate their love, remember the reasons for being together or simply to nourish a relationship that has started to get thirsty.
I hope that what you both need most will happen there. For another, it will mean overcoming fears and obstacles, for another, an even deeper togetherness, for another, experiencing important insights and making decisions. At my events, I always ask everyone beforehand to give as much as they can carry.
It will be two days during which you will look at many things from a different point of view
– basically no one can tell you anything new, because all the knowledge is in you.
Magic, mysticism happens when the things heard are really experienced, really "jump" not only in the mind, but also in the heart, body, soul - this will also be my task. To help the basic things, the foundation at least "gives" a little. And it will be one night of ceremony, full of rituals, singing, blindfolded dancing. Get ready for hard, beautiful work and, admittedly, quite a load.
But above all - and those who have attended my events and lectures know this well -
will have a great deal of simplicity, sincerity and, if you can say so, applicability. Nothing will be artificially condensed, too difficult, impossible.
This is not an event for "connoisseurs", for the hardened - anyone who feels the call can be present here. You don't have to be ready, you have to be willing. Beautiful being together, flourishing nature, starry night sky (unless there is a thunderstorm), the opportunity to leisurely enjoy each other, listen, feel. Delicious food to enjoy in peace, from the heart. Sleep, making love in your double bed, in your rooms or somewhere in the distant woods between dreams and experiences. It is not an art to present everything in a complicated way, the most difficult thing is to do it relaxed, deeply, from the heart, so that people feel accepted, supported - that is what I will try to create in this event.
As soon as you try to define something, it is already different. I will rather tell you what are the things that I am deeply interested in and with which I work. For a long time I have had the feeling that we have lost something fundamental along the way - the connection with nature, with our own depths, with other beings and energies. Therefore, with my work, I invite this ancient connection to reappear, to be renewed. You can put me in the box of shamanism, you can attribute various other titles. But basically I'm interested in the innermost energy and essence that lives within each of us. I work with night and day dreams, with visions that I teach people to open up again in themselves and dare to see them and listen to what they see. I work with various trance states, reminding people who they really are - I tell adult people fairy tales, explaining their ancient messages, conduct plant ceremonies, trance dances.
Life energy, strength, sexual energy are the things that I invite people to recognize in themselves, to see, not to deny, to work with.
I have been lucky to meet excellent teachers in my life - storyteller and medical wife Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, author of the book "Women Who Run with Wolves", dream shaman Robert Moss, one of the founders of trance dance Wilbert Alix. But the medicine women and men in our own forests and in the distant jungles of South America have given me the most. You can understand more of my heart and thoughts by reading what I published on my blog BUD BLOOM BLOSSOM, which will soon reach its 100th entry. And also being with my tribe of dreamers, the MOONLIGHT tribe.
Yes, you have to give up all ideas, expectations, and allow yourself to finally open your heart. Not only emotions, the heart is much deeper.
It is a fundamental knowledge that you must be present somewhere, it is following an inner feeling, intuition, it is daring to make mistakes, to learn. Otru nedrīkst šim pierunāt, lauzt. You can ask, look into the eyes and express your will - that would be the first step of courage in the direction of deeper intimacy. A week before that, you should follow your dreams, before going to sleep, asking for everything that can help you make your relationship more open, true, deep, magical, empowering. And during the day you have to watch for signs - things that repeat - so-called synchronicities. A week before that, you need to sharpen your sensitivity and sensitivity. Let what we experience in CONNECTION feel welcome, invited.
