It brings you to subtle sensing of your body. Which ultimately leads to experiencing deep relaxation. Meditation in Movement invites your dancing body to move through different layers. Through inward & outward movements. An opportunity to move beyond the known. To arrive in the most sacred space; silence. The place where everything falls together. From that inner space you can make a pure connection with the other. With the opportunity to play, dance & create together Γ nd alone. Towards Extasy…. β˜† CONCERT by DOREEN REY β˜† As an aperitif for the international virtuoso Nessi Gomes, you can look forward to the beautiful voice of Doreen Rey. She spoils you with her eloquent voice and lyrical musicality. Let yourself be moved by her music, voice and the wonderful sound of the n’goni (African harp). Simply by listening and singing the choruses together. DoreenΒ΄s music and performance creates connection into yourself and therefore with each other and the rest of the world. You can experience and feel that all of you is welcome during her performance. Doreen’s blissful single Everything in Time, is a collaboration with Kenny Clarys (producer). You can listen to her song here; https://open.spotify.com/track/0XVE1wfJYaujet2Z34Wwvb β˜† SOUNDJOURNEY by JOHANNES SIEMANN (B) & HANNE PEETERS β˜† Hanne & Johannes will take you on a soundjourney to relax your senses and integrate all sensations youΒ΄ve experienced throughout the day. With a magical blend of Hanne’s angelic yet deep grounding voice and the wide variety of world music instruments played by Johannes, you’ll be invited to lie down and fully surrender yourself to this mystical journey of sound. Hanne uses her voice as a vessel for her soul and to nourish and support the listeners inner processes by chanting what she feels at that exact moment to be right. Johannes has been living music since an early age and loves to create tapestries of sound to engulf and caress the heart of his listeners. With handpan, didgeridoo, flutes, guitar and so much more he takes you on a journey through different cultures and eras. Combining them both is pure magic made audible.
