The Opening Ritual

"Memories"



Such a blessing to welcome this project with the ones showing up. A little group were invited into the room, with blindfold, humming sounds and welcomed into an intuitive voice journey. Explored through intentions in stones, shells and water gathered around the local beach to coasts around in Europe for this specific project.

Inner pictures behind the eyelids of the blindfolded

Music slowly starting, soft voice, whispering

Circulating in the center

Bamboo flutes dancing from each corner of the room

Memories of grass between the toes

Looking out from a mountain hill

Touched by the big waves, carried by the wind

And soft pillow linen holding a body

Crossing fingers and deep breaths

Matching the rhythm of the singing

Gathering stones, shells and memories from the coasts' abroad used for the research, travels and connections with the water 8 different destinations around Europe. With intentions put into the stones, wisely selected by each and every one, gently placed in the Pond of Intentions. The ritual being both a personal journey to an experienced being wrapped up through the collaborative gathering around the Pond of Intentions.
