Our Place To Reconnect

Our Place To Reconnect

 

The Accomodation

The Shambala radiates a special spiritual energy that optimally supports the process of reconnecting. Shambala is the meeting point of people whose path is love and whose light is knowledge, where we can get away from the grayness of the city and its obligatory relations, take a breather, remember some feelings about our essence by being one with nature and the universe, and deepen our relationship with ourselves. It was built on the 3,000-year-old Lycian road, which is surrounded by the ruins of ancient civilizations and considered one of the best walking paths in the world with its magnificent nature.

If vacation means getting rid of city stress, reintegrating and balancing with your self, Shambala offers an ideal location for it. You will feel that your soul is tuned for 24 hours as you look towards a tropical geography, not the Mediterranean, from the lush slopes of 100 meters in height.

Sacred Cacao & Ho’oponopono Ceremony

We will drink sacred cacao from the Virunga Region. The Virunga mountain range mainly consists of volcanoes and runs through the national territories of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its volcanic soils are particularly rich in nutrients and the local ecosystem is one of the most diverse in the world. Virunga is best known for its mountain gorillas, which migrate through the dense jungle on the ridges of the still-active volcanoes. This cacao will build the foundation for the next step within the ceremony: The Icaro.

  • An Icaro is a healing song. There are a variety of songs each with its own unique purpose associated with a different kind of healing from a particular plant in the jungle.

    The sound of an Icaro is like no other, sung in the native language of the culture using words loaded with healing intentions.

    They can be used to cleanse energetic fields, to offer specific insight into a situation, to remove dark matter and more. Many Icaros are learned in solitude, by ingesting the same plant each day for a period of time, to learn its particular song and the wisdom that this plant has to offer. After we listened to the Icaro we’ll dive into the Ho’oponopono.

  • Ho’oponopono is a little known but extremely powerful self-transformation technique. Ho’oponopono originated from Hawaii and was originally taught by Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona. Morrnah was a healer and in 1983 she received a great honor by being designated as a living treasure of Hawaii. She was teaching Ho’oponopono to groups of people, hospitals, colleges and even to United Nations personnel. Morrnah updated Ho’oponopono in a way that healing and transformation process no longer required presence of any other person but the practitioner himself.

    You’ll learn how Ho’oponopono works and methods for integrating into your life.

  • During the ceremony we will make physical movements to give space to the stimulated flow of energy in our body.

  • At the end of the ceremony we will listen to a few words from the late Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Thiền Buddhist monk, peace activist, prolific author, poet, teacher and founder of the Plum Village Tradition. Known as the "father of mindfulness, Nhất Hạnh was a major influence on Western practices of Buddhism.
