Hello beautiful people!
I hope summer has been treating you well. We definitely enjoyed it because for once, the Netherlands actually had some sun! (Last year there was literally no summer).
We, my partner Maurice and I, have been also quite busy creating some new offerings. (Hence less writing from me).
So it is with great joy and excitement that I want to announce our retreat:
Intunity, Reclaim your Sovereignty- A Sacred Warrior Initiation.
This is the first time that Maurice and I will be joining forces to bring our gifts together, which is proving itself to be a wonderfully complimentary journey.
We managed to create this website in two days! (Something that would have taken me months to do by myself and vice versa). And we had fun along the way.
If any of you ever put an event together, you know how much energy that step of the journey alone can take! And how much of the initial excitement of: “let’s bring people together to share this with and have a profoundly transformative time”- can be drained in the process of deciding font sizes, color schemes and word choices.
So having fun together because we compliment each other so well is an incredible bonus!
But let me tell you what this retreat is about and why you might feel as excited as us being there.
The last two years have shown us all that even though technology is great for keeping us connected in many ways, NOTHING beats being together in the flesh. It's having a full body experience that is essential to an open and healthy Nervous System.
Many of us still carry residue from two years of separation and fear-based thinking, feeling, and being. What has happened to us over the last 2,5 years has been traumatic. Even if we personally haven't been affected by it in the worst way possible the implications of what it means for us as humans moving forward are huge! Summer might have helped us lick our wounds, but really…if we are honest, the question of what's going to happen next is nagging at all of us.
Hence…
The first pillar of our retreat is CATHARSIS- creating a safe space to let go, release and express. To cry, to scream, to laugh and to feel whatever pain that may be stuck in our systems. Just as we take showers regularly, so, too, our Nervous Systems need ‘cleansing'. We will do that through the incredible intelligence that is our body: through breathwork, qigong, yoga, movement practices, dance and voice liberation. Energy loves movement, so we will move it, baby, move it. :)
All this is possible through the second pillar COMMUNITAS, the safe container that we create to belong ourselves back to each other. It’s in this safety of the tribe that our Nervous System can truly unwind and allow us to perceive reality more clearly again (through the foundation of goodness inherent in all life and not through the lens of fear). This we will do through the profound ‘technology’ of HeartIQ (founded by Christian Pankhurst).
We will literally come together in circle every day, create an amplified and safe field in which we can allow ourselves to truly be seen and felt by the other. Authentic, vulnerable, embodied, clear and present. No spiritual bypassing, I promise.
(If you haven't experienced this before, I swear, this is one of the most profound work I have ever done. You will love it…even if it might be a little scary in the beginning!)
The third pillar is ECSTASIS. As beautiful as the first pillars are, we do need transcendence, a regular stepping out of the Matrix to reconnect with the Divine and the unconditional love in each one of us. Those moments of profound clarity and vibrational alignment feed us for many weeks to come and help us stay true to what we value in our core. Despite the struggles we might encounter in our daily lives.
There is a reason why there was church every Sunday. We need to replenish our spirit with the luminous, otherwise we might get stuck in whatever it is that life has put in front of us (like social media!) and forget that there is more to life. There is so much beauty, we only need to open our eyes to see!
This we will create through the magic of the mushroom. Through the profound healing qualities of Psilocybin and Maurice's gift of voice and sound, we will tune into unity with each other and imprint our beings with a blueprint of what it feels like to be together fully dropped into ease, harmony, love and self-expression.
Just writing about this, I feel goosebumps.
For us, there is nothing more Sacred than this work and offering a safe space for others to do the same.
The Mushroom has brought Maurice and I together and helps us to realign to each other's true being on a regular basis. I truly believe that without it we would face more challenges and hiccups in our relationship and the love flow we experience on a daily basis would be much less present.
So it is with this profound gratitude that we have for the continuous guidance of these ‘forest beings’ and mother nature's gifts that we put this retreat together and want to share with you the sacred space that is our birthright.
Intunity, Reclaim your Sovereignty- A Sacred Warrior Initiation.
I invite you to read this and truly listen to your body. If any of this feels like a YES in your cells, then check out the above website. See where it is (gorgeous villa in Ibiza), tune in deeper and get in touch with us. We will jump on a call with you and make sure this is really the right fit.
(Both Maurice and I are taking working with this substance very seriously and have a lot of experience guiding others through the process to make sure that you are and feel safe).
Thank you for reading this far (it tells me that you were joining in my excitement:) and if it's a Yes for you, we are looking forward to hearing from you!
(and if it’s a no this time, please do share it with whoever you feel this might benefit- recommendations are the best advertising so your support is greatly appreciated!).
With so much Love,
Maurice and Kasia
PS: If psychedelics are completely new to you and you feel a little bit put off by this email (like wtf? since when do drugs have anything to do with embodiment?), I encourage you to watch 'how to change your mind’ on Netflix. A four episode Docu-series about different psychedelics. Or ‘fantastic fungi'. Both movies might quite literally blow your mind. In the best way possible.
