Retrieving your soul is a very beautiful and powerful experience. People report feeling more whole, and more connected to the light. It is like dry earth soaking up clear water, or like a knotted twig relaxing and opening and showing her flowers. It gives resilience and inner strength, and the ability to cope joyfully with life s challenges. It opens you again to become part of the flow of life, and to take the chances life is giving you. It creates a whole different life, not fixated on rules and expectations, but on freedom and mindfulness, leaning into the future as it emerges. Sunday 26 April 9.30 17.30 hr Centrum Djoj, Rotterdam With Klara Adalena 1

Note The ceremony is allowed to unfold around the basic structure of soul retrieval. The ceremony will span the whole day, and you will be held by the power of our circle. The above structure is meant to give you an impression of what this could look like. Please note that the actual program can look different. When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. ~Rumi What kind of people sign up for this course? This is for you when you: you have found and realized much in your life, yet there still is that background of a sense of longing for something that hardly has a name are aware of your patterns and have invested in changing them- but too often have happen that new plans are falling short- like the rug being pulled from under your feet are usually balanced and in your power center- but there are some things that can still trigger you needlessly you know what it s like to be in the flow but in the moment are feeling somewhat stuck in work, spirituality or life you are committed to integrating your spirituality in your life and have done a lot of work on yourself- but you are somehow not finding the doorways you are generally supportive of yourself, but in certain situations your inner critic starts bashing you you have a circle of beautiful people around you telling you that you are beautiful as you are- yet somehow it is hard for you to feel good about yourself and to feel welcomed 3
you want to love and accept yourself as you are AND hold the space for yourself to grow further into who you can be generally your highest authority is in the driving seat of your life, but sometimes you feel a pattern grown long ago and no longer functional takes over you want to open your heart again and allow in more light ou know how to make the connection to your highest knowing in challenging situations- but just when you need it most you tend to lose connection you want more clarity about how your ego and soul can work together as companions on the road you have worked on allowing and expressing your emotions and seem comfortable with it- but in moments they can eclipse you leaving you numb and confused you do yoga or similar and are in your body, yet there are some symptoms that stay, like a stiff shoulder, tension in your hips, restless legs, or occasional migraine You enjoy intimacy and know how to create it, yet you find that sometimes you might end up avoiding moments of intimacy, or cutting them short This is NOT for you when you have no affinity with dance whatsoever you are making your first steps into inner development you are not ready to follow up on bringing change to your life you have been psychotic or similar in the past you can t go a weekend without smoking or alcohol you are not ready to take responsibility for your life, words and actions due to a dog and cat being in the building, it s not for you when you re allergic to them In case of doubt, please contact me The soul is an infinite ocean of beautiful energy and presence made manifest in human form ~Panache Desai 4

Retrieving your soul is a very beautiful and powerful experience. People report feeling more whole, and more connected to the light. It is like dry earth soaking up clear water, or like a knotted twig relaxing and opening and showing her flowers. It gives resilience and inner strength, and the ability to cope joyfully with life s challenges. It opens you again to become part of the flow of life, 5
and to take the chances life is giving you. It creates a whole different life, not fixated on rules and expectations, but on freedom and mindfulness, leaning into the future as it emerges. Our world is in such a crazy state that we experience trauma daily. Trauma leads to soul loss, and in a shamanic culture that is something to be addressed- to prevent illness. What is daily trauma? Watching the news, always always at the back of your mind a worry about how we will leave the world for our children, seeing the trees around us declining, losing a friend to cancer, and knowing it s due to our life style, electro smog, seeing our children live a life disconnected from nature, walking through a supermarket and knowing practically ALL the food is toxic, knowing the dolphins are dying, knowing millions of children die of hunger, knowing the tiger ihas almost disappeared What results, is what we call soul loss. It is having less space to breathe. It is losing your connection to your unique star. It the thinning of your unique thread to source. It is forgetting the stories that uplift your heart and witnessing them lose their shine. It is losing the memory of the smell of mother and skin and humid earth. It is feeling disoriented, not being able to remember your dreams and lying awake at night. The effect of this on our lives, is different for each of us- but here are some ways that beginning soul loss can show up: * you feel not so vitalized * there s many days you don t sing or dance * your heart is not as open as it could be * you re not clear about the meaning of your life * there could be more passion, purpose and pleasure * you don t feel connected to nature * you don t feel rooted * you don t feel your wings These symptoms are so common, often we hardly think about them. Or we don t connect them to loss of soul. In shamanic cultures, these symptoms are taken very seriously. It is recognized that illneses later in life result from loss of soul, and that these symptoms are first indicators. There are various ceremonies to retrieve soul. The essence is to find an opening out of the too confined life you created for yourself, and to weave a new thread from me to Source. When this is combined with dance and constellation work, the new thread becomes woven into the tapestry of your cells, and the effect of the soul retrieval is very powerful. Also, it opens the doorway for you to keep spinning new threads of soul. 6
I m excited to be sharing this form with you in this workshop. If you resonate with this story, my advice is: gift yourself this chance, bring more flow into your life now and save yourself lots of money and unhappiness later! In a map we put soul in center A Living Organism The self is a living organism that constitutes a field of perception and action. This is what we call soul. Fundamentally it is an organism of consciousness, a field of awareness capable of what we call experience experience of the world and of self-reflective awareness of itself. Soul and self are used somewhat interchangeably. Yet, in a map we put soul in center. Self is the expression of soul in the field of thoughts, habits, actions. Self then is less of a being than soul. ~Almaas Inschrijven en Praktische Informatie Inschrijven gaat via de website van Djoj. www.djoj.nl Danservaring niet nodig, wel affiniteit met beweging en dans.
