She grew up in Brazil and since early age has been dancing african dances. She loves Brazilian and African culture. When she came to Czechia 10 years ago the dance was and still is what keeps her up.
Dance is passion, bliss, joy, power and life. Dance is a path inside where sun shines and gives energy. Dance is a voice of my body and on the Gathering i'd like to show you what it means for me. To be in flow, open and fully conscious of my movements. From improvisation to funk. Lets wake up our bodies and tastes. Axé.
is a Brazilian physiotherapist and masseuse.
In this meeting we will experience an axis, a base, supports, a direction of movement, a fixed point, among others… integrating parts of the body with the center through the perception of movement and touch.
Touching and being touched brings affection and security to the skin, calming the nervous system, increasing clarity, balance, serenity.
Integrative massage
Unblock points that present a tension accumulation, assisting the circulatory flow, creating space for a greater connection with yourself.
Teacher, guide and Visionary.
My intention is to inspire and support men to take full responsibility of their life, face their past with no excuses and anchor their visions into everyday living. I see it as most important for men to be walking examples of loving and compassionate beings, supportive and stable in these times of uncertainty, when our society revalues all our actions on the planet Earth.
Because to be here now is the most precious gift.
In 2019 I have started to guide men on the path towards personal freedom, authenticity and alignment with inner wisdom. This transformative program is based on my own healing journey and experiences I have gained in the process of empowering myself.
Whole concept and methodology was created in synergy with my coach and friend Nicolas Perrin from Australia.
Being on Earth now is a gift and a privilege.
Come to inspire yourself to achieve inner peace and inner strength, as a natural state of being, how to create your own life with absolute ease.
Ondrej Sedlacek is a life designer, lecturer, alchemist. He learned to work with mind and body directly from monks in the Himalayas and in the Wudang Mountains. He leads Qigong classes, where he helps people transform stress and tension into pure inner energy and a balanced mind. For several years, he devoted himself to Conscious Masculinity and helps men to a higher mission, #highvibe life and fulfilling relationships.
Imagine that you have a skill of working with your body and mind (energy) that you can create anything in your life with absolute ease. You are able to listen to your body and mindfully give it what it is asking for. And at the same time you are able to achieve inner peace and inner strength, as a natural state of being. Qigong is an ancient practice, which literally translates to “skill of energy work.” People including some of the teachers sometimes misunderstand it as a movement practice. In fact if we truly understand it, it becomes a real inner alchemy. Come to experience mindful work with your body and mind, cultivation of life energy and anything, which will spontaneously come into the space.
"Dech si nikdy nemůžeš zapomenout doma. Můžeš jen zapomenout ho použít." - a přesně to na práci s dechem naprosto miluju.
Dechem si můžeme zkvalitnit trávení, spánek i sexuální život, zbavit se stresu, bolestí všeho druhu, podpořit v sobě radost, vděčnost a životní spokojenost. Musíme jen vědět, jak na to.
Na Sacred Dance Gatheringu Vás vezmu hned na dvě SOMA DECHové cesty. V jedné Vám přestavím tzv. "Denní Dávku Dechu" - velmi jednoduchý a efektivní způsob, jak se dostat do těla, rozproudit v něm energii a krásně se vyživit na celý den i noc. V té druhé si budete moci zažít nejhlubší formu dechové sebezkušenosti, kterou lze podle nás bezpečně provádět ve festivalových podmínkách.
Čeká Vás úžasná hudba, profesionální vedení, vnitřní klid a současně naplnění šťavnatou spokojeností. Závěr workshopu věnujeme také otázkám a odpovědím z oblasti zdravého a bezpečného dýchání a důležitosti integrace.
How to be creative in dance / life
Kami is a dancer, choreographer and teacher that has been learning various different dance styles and techniques throughout her life including exploring intuitive movement. She inspires others to move and explore their bodies through dancing and movement. Her workshop will be focused on creativity and playfulness.
Vojta is a multi-instrumentalist. His music is a journey of a free flowing psychedelic fusion of celtic, classical and tribal sounds.
‘His fingers dance on a 130 years old violin, lungs sound out deep earthy drone’s on a didgeridoo, whilst one foot stomp’s out the beat on a cajon.’
As well as playing three instruments at once. Vojta uses live looping to raise the tempo and ramp up the vibes mixing in entrancing layers of percussion, beat boxing, violin, bouzouki and bansuri flute.
For Vojta music is a place where he can deeply connect and communicate with himself, a place where barriers of time and judgement are mixing together. Every song is played as if he is exploring it as new and his songs evolve from one show to the next. All of this adds up to a dynamic and immersive performance that permeates the venue and truly connects to his audiences.
MoJoh is a 38-year old singer & songwriter from Planet Earth.
He has been travelling the world for the past 19 years, spreading the message of love & light by playing concerts, organizing beach-clean ups with local communities, visiting kids at local schools and building a network of like-minded people that will hopefully continue to grow.
'While the work I do for my campaign keeps me grounded, my first love is and has always been music.'
Due to the current state of the world, he has started a project called ‘EARTH SONGS’ by MoJoh & friends - an album collaborating with different artists from all over the world on songs that are all related to our connection with each other and Earth.
'I have always tried to use my music and networking skills to serve a higher purpose but if I am perfectly honest, never for the one thing that concerns me the most: The way our species is getting disconnected from Pacha Mama/ Earth.'
'I hope my love will move, heal and inspire many in a world that needs positivity and a light tune to resonate with.'
Musician and sound nomad, singer and multi-instrumentalist.

I am Love&Soul coach for women.
I guide women on the path of Love and inner Freedom. So they can discover the calling of their soul and full expression of their essence, and manifest the Life of their dreams. My focus is on relationship to ourselves, to our femininity, to men, to Abundance and to Life.
What I also love to do is interpreting spiritual teachers from English to Czech language and copy writing, so I am very glad I could join this wonderful project, which is gathering people from around the globe for a shared ceremony and prayer.
I love playing with words and finding paths how kindly and spiritfully express what is in a heart – mine or the one of common projects.
I learn how to use my energy meaningfully and with ease I can say those events are tuning with my heart. There are the points where soul meetings happen, hearts connect, where the body is charged and inspiration flies around. And also…where magic happens.
I love dance in all its forms. Dance is for me a connection with the present moment, the wild and gentle play of all elements, fleeting and deep meetings, reconciliations, both the silence of a spring in winter and huge thundering summer river of ardent lava.
Dance is the voice of my Heart.
I see Dance as the dynamic balance between the structure of a project manager and the fluency of a contact impro dancer. With this feeling, with all that Dance means to me, I bring this energy to create my daily steps and big projects too.
I consider life the biggest gift and I let myself be carried with never ending joy and curiosity about all what life has to offer.
I am a gourmet of life who accepts all what life brings in ease, love, humbleness and with humour. Co-creating events, which bring joy, inspiration and maybe even some realizations is a great pleasure for me.
I enjoy life in all its possible manifestations – love, dance, music, singing, joy, encounters, connections, simply Life! I am a guide of two wonderful visitors on this planet – a son and a daughter. I love the sea, mountains, beauty, nature, and anything that cannot be easily explained or seen.
I radiate, I tune, I organize, I connect and I manifest.

Welcome to a place of rest, inspiration, beauty and healing. In a place which caresses your soul and reminds you where the home is… in a place of Red tent, where magics are possible, where there is no time and there is only here and now. Place to stop and to breathe in, to share, to be yourself and to accept the medicine of the present moment into your heart.
“I am a woman who came to this world to create beauty and share it with others because that’s what matters to me and fulfills me. To touch myself and at the same time others. Welcome to the world in a way I see it, the world I create”.
Isabel and Didakus approach their music as an expression of their way to search the truth, as a process of opening to what wants to stream through them. A combination of westafrican harp (ngoni) and traditional portuguese percusion (adufe), handmade flutes and northern vocals calling listeners on the path into inner peace places.
Susy Nana is certified breathwork facilitator, Bach flower remedy practitioner and space holder for healing and transformative inner journeys.
In her workshops, she loves to create a safe space for people to dive deeper and start their process of inner awakening, transformation and healing. One of her favourite ways is to use a conscious breath as a tool for awakening and activation on different levels. Susy loves to observe how the journey naturally unfolds, for the participants and for herself. To share her skills and gifts in the workshops is her passion. Susy gathers the inspiration for her work not just from an inner exploration but also from the sessions and workshops she holds around Europe.
Another branch of Susy’s work is an exploration of the Womb Magic. She holds Womb based women circles, offering private sessions for those, who wish to dive deeper into their Womb wisdom.
Already as a child, she entered the space of great connection with Mother Earth. Without deeper understanding. Susy experienced Womb awakening during her breathwork studies and by healing this space within, her journey naturally unfolded in the “Womb based” direction. She is walking the path of deep remembering the connection with the Earth and the Cosmos, a path honouring and celebrating life. In her work she is using different techniques and healing modalities to bring women closer to themselves. To get in touch with their pure essence.
I focus on studying and discovering the field of transpersonal psychology, a discipline that never stops fascinating me and whose possibilities amaze me more and more with each experience.
I deal with the possibilities, potential and application of altered states of consciousness to human growth and development. After a series of my own deep transpersonal experiences, I started working with new horizons which were previously completely invisible to me.
I further extend these horizons through spiritual development and other methods, such as deep mental therapy, Tantra and Yoga, meditation techniques, body and breath work or healing with energies and music. I endeavor to integrate all these techniques appropriately both in my personal life and while helping others to solve their body and soul issues on mental and physical levels. I thereby provide a complex system of personal growth, healing and purifying on multiple levels. Hundreds of people who I have helped with this practice are an evidence to me that my experience needs to be further shared and disseminated.
I strongly believe that spiritual development and transformation of an individual is not only the simplest and the most effective method of healing and knowing one’s true self but is also the only way to improve all humanity and the situation on the planet. I help to find the best solution possible to enter the stream of happiness, freedom, harmony, light and love – the natural state of Being.
Petr will lead us through the Divine breathe journey and accompany us with healing sounds.

A native Uruguayan Pepe lived many years in Israel, where the media called him the “Extreme Multi-Instrumentalist” or the “Embodiment of World Music”.He started his musical career at the early age of eight with studying guitar. By the time he was thirteen, he was already playing pop and rock music semi-professionally. He went on to study at the National Conservatory but the formal studies did not satisfy him and Uruguay was in the midst of a civil war at the time so he left the country for what turned out to be more than a decade of a musical and spiritual pilgrimage that covered more than a dozen countries.
He heard the Shakuhachi for the first time in 1978, while living in Washington DC, and was instantly hooked! Soon enough he began studying with master player, ethnomusicologist Karl Signel. After years of wandering the planet, studying, performing and practicing different traditional music and instruments (sitar and bansuri in India, Brazilian percussion, African djembe, guitar in South America and Spain, etc.), as well as Jazz and Rock/Pop music, he finally landed in Japan, where he lived for three years, dedicated intensively to the study of Shakuhachi with Sensei Tanaka Komei and John Kaizan Neptune.
He also deepened his study and practice of buddhism started in North America and continued in India with extended stays in Zen Temples.
After Japan he spent half a year in Bali, a place that he loves deeply, studying gamelan, suling flute and co-creating a deep system of sound healing with musicians and sound healers from all over the world. Then he travelled to Canada, which he called his home for twenty five years. Now he lives in Slovakia.
