We explore our body on this earth, we experience ourselves in community and tribe. Our trauma merges with others and we heal in collective consciousness.
What is our „Medicine“ largely made of:
Blue Lotus
The blue lotus flower has been part of Egyptian mythology, culture and medicine for thousands of years. In the Middle East, the plant is known as the Egyptian Lotus and Sacred Lily of the Nile, and images of the aquatic plant adorn the walls of the tombs and monoliths of the pharaohs. The history of the famous Blue Lotus is not only medicinal but also mystical. The lotus found its way out of Egypt, around 300 BC, and ended up in Greece, where the prevailing culture included it in the religion of Isis and Serapis. Towards the end of the Roman Empire, Blue Lotus was traded to the far corners of the known world, from Brittania to India. The lotus even plays an important role in Mayan religious art, costumes and ceremonies.
The blue lotus (Nymphea caerulea) is an Egyptian water lily that contains apomorphine and nuciferin. Apomorphine has been described as a psychoactive alkaloid and is a non-selective dopamine agonist used mainly to treat Parkinson’s disease as it stimulates dopamine receptors and improves motor function.
White Lily
White lotus is often depicted in Egyptian art in the form of stone carvings and paintings. It is clear that this ancient culture greatly revered these two plant species, probably because of their fascinating psychoactive effects. These paintings often include scenes of parties, dances and rituals.
White lotus or white water lily ((Nymphaea alba) contains the psychoactive compounds nupharine and nymphaeine, which have euphoric, sedative and narcotic effects. According to some sources, the water lily is also a powerful aphrodisiac.
White Lily, native to Mexico and Central and South America, dates back to Mayan times. It produces feelings of floating and euphoria.
Red Lily
Red lotus (Nymphaea rubra) belongs to the Mymphaceae family and is known to be native to India, the Nile Delta and Thailand. Its leaves are heterophyllous and they have different appearances below the water surface and above the water surface. This plant is common in ponds and shallow lakes throughout tropical and temperate Asia; Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Philippines, Taiwan, Yunnan, Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh. Its leaves have hairy or fluffy undersides and the stems are also covered by the hairs. It produces perennial and erect rhizomes and rootstocks that help anchor it in muddy soil.
It is a well-known herb for peace-stimulating and relaxing properties, thus bringing a sense of euphoria and well-being. It produces a good calming effect and helps consumers sleep better. It has been used as an aphrodisiac since ancient times.
Research has shown that the red lotus contains both nuciferin and aporphine. Aporphine is a psychoactive alkaloid and a specific dopamine agonist used to treat alcohol dependence, opiates, Alzheimer’s disease, erectile dysfunction and Parkinson’s disease. This compound causes the stimulation of euphoric, exalted and happy feelings. While nuciferin is a specific alkaloid that has an association with dopamine receptors. Research has shown that red lotus is significantly helpful in promoting health and well-being due to its antioxidant, anthelmintic, antidiabetic and immunomodulatory properties. It is reported that red lotus has excellent immunomodulatory activities and the polysaccharides produced in the buds of its flowers can cause antitumour activities by activating macrophages and naturally killing cells through receptor binding.
Acacia
Found on every continent around the world, acacia trees, used by Noah to build the ark, are revered in cultures dating back centuries because some varieties contain the psychedelic substance dimethyltryptamine (DMT), phenethylamine as well as methylenedioxyphenethylamine. The Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden offered something much more enticing than an apple. It is believed that the burning bush that Moses encountered on the mountain was the acacia.
Certain varieties of acacia contain phenethylamine as well as methylenedioxyphenethylamines, which are used as empathogens, stimulants, psychedelics and/or antidepressants. Methylenedioxyphenethylamines are used to formulate MDMA, which is used in sacred medicine circles and for PTSD and trauma therapy.
Passionflower
Passionflower is a climbing vine native to the southeastern United States and Central and South America.
Native Americans used passionflower as a sedative. Sixteenth century Spanish explorers in South America later explored passionflower. The plant was then brought to Europe, where it became widely used and was introduced into European folk medicine.
It is also used to reduce non-specific anxiety and fear. It can also be used for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, congestive heart failure, insomnia and stress.
Green tea
Camellia sinensis is the source of green tea. Originally used and grown in China.
An amino acid in green tea L-theanine is known for various properties that stimulate focus, increase serotonin and dopamine while reducing cortisol.
With this medicine we experience our bodies consciously, we can understand and release trauma on a body level, experience ecstasy and feel deeply within ourselves in a relaxed state. We take our body with us on a journey.
With this unique „Medicine“ we are able to experience our body in a completely new way, surrender to the deep wisdom of the body language and release trauma from the body with the knowledge that trauma has a cellular memory and one way to release trauma is to move on an embodied cellular level of existence. This ‚medicine‘ first calms the nervous system so that we are ready to feel. When the nervous system is calm we feel safe and when we feel safe we are ready to open up and feel what is really here.
Our ceremonies are guided and accompanied with sound, intuitive bodywork, psychosomatic dance therapy, movement and deep personal guidance.

Verbinde Dich mit Deinem Inneren Schamanen – Tribal Experience
Tauche ein in die Tiefe deines Seins
In Zeiten innerer und äußerer Trennung gewinnen Schamanismus und verkörperte Verbundenheit eine immer wichtigere Bedeutung. In diesem Seminar legen wir konventionelle Methoden, Mainstream-Denken und vielfältige Interpretationen des Schamanismus beiseite, um uns einem neuen Zugang zu öffnen.
Wir gehen in tiefe Kommunikation mit unserem Körper und Nervensystem, um aus dieser Verkörperung heraus in unseren inneren Schamanen einzutreten. So empfangen und erleben wir das, was in jedem Einzelnen von uns ruht.
Wenn wir beginnen, uns auf allen Ebenen zu fühlen und bereit sind, uns selbst tief zu begegnen, entfalten wir die Fähigkeit und das Potenzial, unsere schamanische Essenz zu leben.
Durch Tanz, Trommelrhythmen, Gesang, Atmung und die Tribal Experience lernen wir, uns selbst zuzuhören, uns zu öffnen und frei in eine neue Form der Selbsterfahrung einzutreten.
Wir tauchen ein in ein Gruppenkollektiv, das uns auf dem Weg zu unserer eigenen verkörperten und lebendigen Kreation des inneren Schamanen trägt.
Für wen ist dieses Seminar geeignet?
• Schamanisch Praktizierende, die sich für neue Selbsterfahrungen und weiteres Wachstum auf ihrem Weg öffnen möchten.
• Therapeut*innen, die nach neuen Anregungen suchen.
• Menschen mit schamanischer Vorerfahrung, die tiefer in die Arbeit mit Menschen eintauchen wollen.
• Alle, die schamanische Vorkenntnisse haben und bereit sind, ihre Stimme zu finden und die Verbindung mit dem Körper und anderen Menschen zu vertiefen.
