Shamanic Ceremony — Rapé & Blue Lotus Tea

## [Booking Link](https://www.yogicescape.de/en/events/shamanic-ceremony)Shamanic Ceremony The Shamanic Ceremony typically begins with setting a sacred space, participants will be invited to sit comfortably while the facilitator introduce the steps of the Ceremony explaining the different elements while serving Blue Lotus tea. Through the harmonious blend of the tea, the ancestral rhythm of the drum and sacred tobacco, this ceremony provides a safe space for releasing old patterns and setting intentions for the new year ## Why Join: * Intention Setting: Participants are encouraged to set personal intentions for the ceremony, focusing on areas of life where healing or guidance is desired. * The Blue Lotus Tea will be offered to facilitate an hypnotic experience. * Invocation of Spirits: The facilitator will call upon spiritual guides, ancestors, or the elements to support and protect the space. * Sacred Tobacco Ritual: In this part of the ceremony, sacred tobacco will be offered through Shamanic Snuff * Shamanic Drum: As participants relax the sound of the drum will allow a deeper connection with the unconscious Self, the frequencies will strength the channeling meditative messages * Integration and Sharing: After the ceremony, participants are encouraged to share their experiences and insights, helping to integrate the healing process into their daily lives ## About Sacred Offering * Plants hold a living “spiritual matrix” with unique energies that influence body, mind, and spirit. * Psychoactive plants mirror human neurotransmitters, reflecting deep human–nature communion. * Sacred Tobacco (Rapé): Air Medicine received through breath; enhances perception, clears upper energy channels, supports detox and pineal decalcification. * Blue Lotus: Heart-opening gateway to deeper realms; warm, aromatic, gently bitter; moves stagnant emotions, supports digestive and heart-centered detox; carries ancient wisdom of our essential nature. * Humans and plants co-evolved with solar and seasonal rhythms; rhythmic practices (drumming, trance, meditation) reconnect us to archetypal consciousness and shamanic ecstatic states.

Offener Deutschunterricht - Text & Konversation - Niveau B2+ (Fortgeschritten)

In diesem Kurs beschäftigen wir uns mit verschiedenen Texten aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen. Das können u.a. kurze Geschichten, Gedichte, Zeitungsartikel, Kolumnen oder Videos sein. Immer sind es Themen, die uns gefallen, die wir besonders interessant, wichtig oder manchmal auch richtig schlecht finden. Gemeinsam versuchen wir die Position der Autor*in, den Stil und die Argumentationsstruktur zu verstehen. Dazu diskutieren wir über das, was wir verstehen, welche Meinung wir zu dem Thema haben oder welche Fragen offen bleiben.
Gerne könnt ihr uns auch Themenvorschläge mitbringen oder zuschicken.
Der Kurs richtet sich an interessierte Menschen mit einem B2-Niveau (oder so ähnlich), die Lust haben sich weiter mit der deutschen Sprache zu beschäftigen und ihren Wortschatz zu erweitern.
Die Termine sind sporadisch.

Open Draw

Kommt am 2. Montagabend im Monat ins Offene Wohnzimmer zum Open Draw! Raucht Euch auch manchmal der Kopf von zu viel PC-Arbeit? Der Asphalt der Stadt ist heute wieder viel zu grau? Ihr würdet am liebsten mal wieder wild auf einem Blatt Papier rumklecksen oder gedankenverlorene Linien zeichnen? Höchste Zeit zur Tat zu schreiten! Wir wollen in entspannter Atmosphäre die kreativen Zellen auf Volldampf fahren und uns der Inspiration überlassen. Mit Musik im Hintergrund sowie Wein, Tee und Snacks im Repertoire wird dann gekleckst, gemalt, gezeichnet, geklebt, geredet und gelacht. Das Ganze kann sehr ambitioniert stattfinden, aber genauso zum Hirn-abschalten dienen. Austausch, Bilderswapping und gegenseitige Tipps/Kritik sind sehr willkommen. Material stellen wir (Kreide, Bleistift, Wasserfarbe, Acrylfarbe, Pastellstifte, Kohle, Papierbögen, Spiegel, Postkarten, Zeichenbücher, Illustrierte). Sujet kann alles sein: Der/die Tischnächste, der letzte Traum, oder der Feldhase Dürers. Technik auch: Von (Selbst)portrait über Stilleben bis zur Comiczeichnung soll alles abgedeckt werden. Wir bieten jeden 2. Montag im Monat offene Treffen zum kreativen Arbeiten sowie gelegentlich technik- und themenbasierte Workshops an. Wie immer wird um eine Spende für Raummiete/Material von 5-10€ gebeten. Anmeldung: Katharinav.runnen@gmx.de
