Inspirational and Transformational
In the center of Europe lies the beautiful Slovenia, accessible, modern and the perfect place for an international gathering of practitioners from around the world. This is an invitation to come rediscover the joy and the magic in the energy passes from the Toltec tradition of ancient Mexico, be inspired by others sharing how they practice, connect with your higher self and with nature and have the time of your life.
One of the most powerful references for humans is the idea of Freedom, a concept and a proposition that immediately elevates our mind and our spirit.
“The bird of freedom is already flying into the horizon’, author and shaman Carlos Castaneda said. “we have to move and run after it because it will not wait for us.”
Freedom of perception, as it was defined by men and women shamans in ancient Mexico, represents a set of possibilities, of space and expansion. It motivates and it drives us to grow and to move, to become our best, and in doing so, it creates a platform where we want to develop our full potential as human beings.
But, what’s the point of perceiving all that?”
“You already asked me, today, the same question. You speak like a true merchant. What’s the risk? you ask. What’s the percentage gain to my investment? Is it going to better me?”
“There is no way to answer that. The merchant mind does commerce. But freedom cannot be an investment. Freedom is an adventure with no end, in which we risk our lives and much more for a few moments of something beyond words, beyond thoughts or feelings.”
– Carlos Castaneda
