Summary

MANTRA & MEDITATION Immerse yourself in the frequency of Indian mantras and let Saraswati's energy carry you away! Together we will create energy vortexes and let them flow into nature. Singing frees the mind, dispels disturbing thoughts, brings you into different vibrations, and makes it easier to meditate!

YOGA Yoga teacher Rahul from Jaipur, India, will help us become more flexible with simple exercises. He will address the needs of each individual and tailor his program accordingly. BLOCK PRINT WORKSHOP
The elaborate, manual production of patterns on fabrics is hardly practiced anymore. Rahul will explain the details and bring woodblocks and fabrics. We can try our hand at it ourselves. At the end, you can take your own printed bag home with you! You are welcome to bring your own items to print or purchase additional items such as Indian yoga pants and design them.

EUROPEAN & INDIAN GODS The Indian pantheon and its connections to the ancient European spiritual tradition Exciting connections, similarities, and differences with a focus on nature deities and nature beings. We will get in touch and seek out our spiritual guides, real beings, far removed from fantasy!
