🌟 du vergessen hast, wie es sich anfühlt, perfekt gestimmt und im guten rhythmischen Fluss zu sein
🌟 du dich wieder mit deiner Liebe zu Klang, Musik, Mantra und Gesang für dein Vergnügen (nicht für andere) verbinden möchtest
🌟 es eine dissonante Lücke zwischen deinem Potenzial und dem Leben gibt, das du führst, und du es in Harmonie bringen möchtest
🌟 du dir Raum und Zeit für dich selbst wünschst, um tief in dein Herz zu lauschen und klar zu hören, was das Leben durch dich leben möchte
🌟 du physische/emotionale/mentale/spirituelle Transformation suchst, um leicht, klar, resonant und frei zu sein.
🌟 du das Chanten liebst, aber von kultischen Dogmen, langweiligen ungeschickten Mantras und peppigen Unterhaltungs-Kīrtans abgeschreckt wirst - du möchtest nicht an der Oberfläche kratzen, sondern TIEF in die VOLLE TRANSFORMATIVE KRAFT des Klangs eintauchen 🔥
🌟 du kurz vor einem Durchbruch stehst und dich in die volle Verkörperung singen möchtest
🌟 du dich nach Spiel, Weite, Ruhe sehnst und die heilende Kraft der Natur in ihrer ganzen Fülle in dir aufnehmen möchtest
🌟 Klang und Mantra dein glücklicher Ort sind und du diesen mit Gleichgesinnten teilen möchtest
🌟 du den Drang verspürst, dein vokales Heilungs- und Mantra-Werkzeugset zu schärfen, um Transformation in deinem Leben und für andere zu bewirken
