Dance of life<\/h2>\n

This ceremony is essentially based on the tradition of the dreamer sun dances and shamanic knowledge of the indigenous peoples of North America and is also inspired by alchemical knowledge and rituals from Europe.<\/p>\n

We celebrate life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a large circle, people come together in diversity and beauty. Everyone brings their natural medicine gifts and carries them with their hearts to the tree of life on their own path.<\/p>\n

We dance for three days and nights for the healing of Grandmother Earth and for us humans to live in harmony with her. We dance for peace and freedom and for the well-being of all beings: flowers and trees, animals in the water, on land and in the air. We dance so that young and old, women, men and non-binary people of all cultures and religions come together in respect and beauty and learn respectfully from each other. We dance for ourselves, for our friends, families and ancestors:<\/p>\n

for all those we love.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

During the first four days, everyone sets up the large dance floor together. This sometimes involves intensive physical work. The atmosphere is filled with joint ‘tackling’, joyful working together, discovering and forging new friendships and meeting old friends. Preparatory sweat lodges are held on some evenings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then it begins.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The guardians light the kindling fire. They nourish it throughout the
\nn three days and nights. With heart, hand and presence, they serve the dance and the people, take care of any work that needs to be done and look after the space. The singers and drummers on the large frame drum weave a tapestry of sound with ancient power songs from the indigenous peoples of North America and many other cultures, from sunrise to deep into the night. The dancers dance their dreams, intentions and their salvation back to the tree and back to their place. Most dancers fast during these three days of the ceremony, others nourish their bodies with as little food as necessary. Again and again, they dream silently under the dancing shield of their painted visions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The dance gains strength.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The circles of dancers, singers and guardians <\/a>create a condensing dream matrix: Visions emerge. They are reminders of future expansions of our lives. Hope and joy are companions. The knowledge of new possibilities becomes anchored. Enthusiasm nourishes the soul!<\/span><\/p>\n

A new fire of life is kindled.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On the final day, everything is dismantled together and we leave the country in beauty. Dream seeds sprout in secret. Small and large changes grow into everyday life. Remembered extensions take shape.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"For three days you dance your intentions, your dreams and visions awake. You dance for all beings on this earth, for the evolution of the collective of human beings and for yourself on your individual path of growth. By dancing we mean the constant and forward movement towards the tree, which stands at the center of the large dance floor, and back to your shelter. You give yourself completely to your dance and follow your path, accompanied by grandfather sun, grandfathers stars, grandmothers planets, sister moon and grandmother earth.<\/p>\n

Draw your intentions\/dreams\/visions on your sign at home. It hangs in your shelter by the dance floor and you nourish it with every step you take towards the tree and with every dream. Because at night, when the drum rests, you enter dreamtime and sleep in your dance floor shelter. During the dance and in your dreams you will be gifted with additional images and insights and experience your creative power in beauty. By recognizing and internalizing your intention more and more clearly, you create reality.<\/p>\n

With ceremonial medicine songs and the rhythm of the great life dance drum, the singers support you and your connection to the heartbeat of Grandmother Earth is awakened. With the knowledge that the guardians are carefully maintaining everyday reality, you can fully engage with your magical world and be “all-one”.<\/p>\n

You only leave the dance floor for the intake of water in the water sanctuary and perhaps for a rare, minimal intake of food. All this and the “holy toilets” are located near the dance floor. You therefore never remove yourself from the energy of the life substance during the ceremony.<\/p>\n

You know the ceremony and the dance floor, because you set up the dance floor with the other dancers during the preparation days. This “creating something together” is something very rare these days and has become something special. You experience what it means when everyone contributes their strength, their talents and their presence to a common work.<\/p>\n

In the evenings we meet for a deeper understanding of the ceremony. First-year dancers have the opportunity to ask their questions at a special meeting. You will also be accompanied by a mentor of your choice. You take part in sweat lodge ceremonies to prepare for the dance. After the dance, this is rounded off with a final sweat lodge. With a lovingly prepared feast, we give our bodies the opportunity to ground themselves again. The following night, the ancestors dance their own dance on the square. On the final day, everything is dismantled together and we leave the country in beauty. Dream seeds sprout in secret. Small and large changes grow into everyday life. Remembered extensions take shape.<\/p>\n

If you intend to take part, you will receive the information and everything important for the organization after registration.<\/p>\n
