Unfortunately, we have to postpone the event, as there is a big grief within our group. Two beloved people died, in the last two weeks. We were very eager to make this great event happen, but the circumstances did not allow it. Thank you for your understanding! We will meet soon. To celebrate life, it is needed to understand death. We wish that their souls will be free and in a good place.

☀We call you to this beautiful celebration of Life- The Cacao and Blue Lotus Ceremony- Purifying and Opening the Heart. As in our modern lives, we find difficulties in expressing true joy, and our heart chakra shrinks. Then we become more pessimistic, and depressive, we lose our trust in the universe. In our Ceremony, we will remember again how to be innocent yet strong, pure, and blissful as we dance toward ecstasy. The remedy of the Spirit of the Cacao and Blue Lotus will help us find that inner strength that gives us the courage to open the hearts again to the wisdom of the Great Spirit.
The wisdom of three powerful Civilizations will assist. The ancient wisdom of the Minoans, the Inca, and the Egyptians. As the land of Crete was always a crossroad of so many different cultures, we choose to access the knowledge of these 3 particulars. With our pure intention the Minoan Snake Goddess, Isis, and Pachamama will meet in our beautiful ceremony to honor the great feminine aspect that opens the heart. The music that Junior X will transmit, will have all these qualities we need in order to set free our true self, following the inner calling of the soul that will drive our movement. Junior X has this unique ability to uplift body, mind, and soul, as he studies very carefully the qualities of the sounds he makes. Also, he creates a sound space inspired by sacred places such but also the psychosomatic growth of every human from ancient times to nowadays. Together will experience a unique vibration that naturally will lead us to the ecstatic state of dancing.

Good Morning Life!

Beyond all polarities, I am
Let the judgments and opinions of the mind
Be judgments and opinions of the mind
And you exist behind that

Ah so, ah so
It's really time for you to see through
The absurdity of your own predicament
You aren't who you thought you were
You just aren't that person

And in this very lifetime
You can know it
Right now
The real work you have to do
Is in the privacy of your own heart

All of the external forms are lovely
But the real work
Is your inner connection

If you're quiet when you meditate
If you truly open your heart
Just quiet your mind
Open your heart
Quite the mind, open the heart

How do you quiet the mind? You meditate
How do you open the heart?
You start to love that which you can love
And just keep expanding it

You love a tree
You love a river
You love a leaf
You love a flower
You love a cat
You love a human

But go deeper and deeper into that love
'Til you love that
Which is the source of the light behind all of it
Behind all of it
You don't worship the gate
You go into the inner temple

Everything in you that you don't need
You can let go of
You don't need loneliness
For you couldn't possibly be alone
You don't need greed
Because you already have it all
You don't need doubt
Because you already know

The confusion is saying
"I don't know"
But the minute you are quiet
You find out that in truth you do know
For in you, you know
Plane after plane will open to you
I want to know who I really am

As if in each of us
There once was a fire
And for some of us
There seem as if there are only ashes now
But when we dig in the ashes
We find one ember
And very gently we fan that ember
Blow on it, it gets brighter
And from that ember we rebuild the fire
Only thing that's important is that ember

That's what you and I are here to celebrate
That though we've lived our life totally involved in the world
We know
We know that we're of the spirit

The ember gets stronger
Flame starts to flicker a bit
And pretty soon you realize that all we're going to do for eternity
Is sit around the fire
