Cacao Bliss Sound Healing Journey

🕯️ Morgen rond het Heilige Vuur van Kura Waka
Een zachte uitnodiging om te vertragen, te verzachten en naar binnen te keren.

Deze intieme cacao- en sound healing ceremonie is er voor mensen die willen ontspannen, loslaten en opladen in een warme, veilige en gedragen setting. Rond het vuur komen cacao, klank en aanwezigheid samen en word je uitgenodigd om te zakken uit je hoofd, terug in je lijf.

De heilige cacao opent het hart, als je haar toelaat.
De trillingen van klank en sound healing bewegen door je hele systeem en helpen spanning, onrust en vastgezette emoties los te laten. Je hoeft niets te doen. Alleen je ogen sluiten, je overgeven en ontvangen.

✨ Wat je kunt ervaren:
- Diepe ontspanning en rust in het zenuwstelsel
- Zachte emotionele ontlading
- Helende klank op celniveau
- Herstel van balans op fysiek, emotioneel en spiritueel niveau
- Een geborgen, cosy sfeer rond het heilige vuur
- Deze reis is geschikt voor leeftijden 8–111, voor iedereen die - behoefte heeft aan vertraging, verstilling en een moment van heilige eenvoud.

Data:
📅 8 januari
📅 9 april
📅 7 mei

Een warm, klankvol welkom in de cirkel,
Yolanda & Michaela van der Meer

Workshop The Melting Body

Zit je lichaam vast? Voel je je gespannen? Heb je last van lichamelijke of mentale pijn of ongemakken? Wil je je lichaam op een positieve manier ervaren? Wil je je hoofd even loslaten?
In The Melting Body workshop leer je je lichaam diep te ontspannen, je hoofd uit te zetten, le bewustzijn te verruimen en je fantasie te prikkelen. Je leert loslaten, vertragen en verzachten en ontdekt een nieuwe, helende vorm van beweging.

Vertraging, verzachting, verbinding, versmelting.
Dit zijn de kernwoorden van de helende methode die danser en choreograaf Anne-May de Lijser ontwikkeld heeft.
The Melting Body methode is een belichaamde beweging meditatie begeleid door muziek. Anne-May neemt je mee op reis naar een staat van diepe ontspanning en bewustzijnsverruiming waarin je je lichaam opnieuw leert kennen.
Met The Melting Body breng je positieve energie terug naar je cellen, je laat je cellen dansen en vibreren, en regenereren.

The Melting Body onderzoek

The Melting Body Method is geboren vanuit een verlangen om een helende dans/beweging techniek te ontwikkelen, een methode die het lichaam letterlijk meer heel maakt. Anne-May kreeg te maken met gezondheid uitdagingen: van een schouder- en knieblessure tot een ernstig voorstadium van baarmoederhalskanker.
Met drie professionele dansers en een muzikant begon Anne-May de Lijser in februari 2020 het onderzoek van The Melting Body. Ze onderzochten hoe ze kunnen vertragen, verzachten en helen op celniveau.
Uit steeds meer onderzoek blijkt dat gezonde cellen de basis vormen van een goede gezondheid. Veel ziektes en klachten vinden hun oorspong in niet goed functionerende cellen.
Anne-May heeft The Melting Body ingezet in haar poging haar lichaam van binnen uit te helen, en met succes: het voorstadium baarmoederhalskanker was na 5 maanden helemaal weg, inclusief het virus wat het veroorzaakte.
Ook heelde zij grotendeels haar knieblessure waardoor zij na het onderzoek weer kon lopen en dansen.
Zaterdag 8 November : 13.30 – 16.30 uur

Extremly grateful to share the news that Maori Ruatau, and Hana May Liv from Aotearoa are comming back to Kura Waka to share certificated Traditional Romiromi Mirimiri healing Bodywork Courses!

For those who feel the call to learn the traditional way come and join us!

From the Tuupuna maatua the ancients, began the healing practices that have flourished over the miliniums and these ideologies have been past down as living tools through tribal knowledge, to family knowledge some are closer to the sea others inland, and those in forests, on mountains, why the knowledge changes and so too do the roles.

Romiromi;
Where deep tissue bodywork is required romiromi is activated. To Romi is To work (internals; organs,blood,tissue,muscles etc.) Mi is to stimulate te Ha (Breath) within the body to move the obstacles created.
Both of these modalities are symbiotic, they live and play hand in hand.
He aha Te Rongomau – What is Healing
When you are able to hear the universe sing their songs of pain, and hear your own recovery.

Miri Miri;
Miri Miri a context of healing that does not always involve touch. It’s perceptive in it’s delivery, intuitive, in it’s knowing and powerful when one allows it to permeate the body.
When you are able to hear the universe sing their songs of pain, and hear your own road to recovery.
This Waananga is to introduce and awaken you to the philosophies and practices of Whare Waananga Lore and Traditional Māori Healing.

This four-day foundational certificated course will cover the dynamics of Takutaku, Kaupare, Mirimiri, Romiromi and the Whatumanawa, as well as the awareness and importance of self-reflection and healing.
This Waananga builds the foundation in order to enter these sacred healing realms.

The four days together are about developing spiritual awareness and the importance of spiritual safety for both the practitioner and the client. It will provide you with tools to understand, navigate and stimulate your own spiritual growth and consciousness, not only within the mahi of Mirimiri/Romiromi, but also within your everyday life
