Remember our Vasant Spring Retreat last year? This year was even more wonderful, because the children joined us. Many human and celestial events synchronized: Spring Forward, Full Moon, Holi, the bEARTH anniversary of the founder of the most inclusive, natural, wholistic healing system: Sujok.
We spent a day as one family of Mother Earth, with dancing, healing, initiation, meditation, prayer, play & rest, following the Triorigin Functional Order [ Neuto-Hetero-Neutro-Homo]
Neuto-UM or Soul smile: Munay-ki healer’s rite and Despacho ceremony offered by Laura Tellez and Maria Kowalski
Then some Hetero/ Ah or individual time when people collected and made the Earth Mandalas, and then meditated with them.
Neutro – Eh- or life smile: communal, nutritious meal cooked by Reiki Master chefs, Rocio Sarmiento and Nina Molina .
Then Oh – Homo- yoga nidra, with Professor Park Jae Woo’s origin smile image. We woke from the yoga nidra with singing the Triorigin Creation mantra. Um~ Ah~ Oh~ Eh.
Then it was time for Sujok therapy class, joyful twist walking, and smile taiji.Gaia called us for the gratitude lotus, just as the Full Moon made her appearance, in rose pink loving light. As it turned dark, we gathered around the fire for letting go of toxic energies, singing and prayer.

Dear friends
Thank you for Springing Forward with us, by participating in a Return to Gaia! Being in sacred space together with the children in a beautiful natural environment was very profound.
We dearly enjoyed sharing the Munay Kiinititation, as they will help each one of us connect in a deeper and in a more meaningful way to Mother Nature and to our own inner self.
Please feel free to reach Laura or María in case you have any questions regarding the rites or to share experiences during or after the event.
We ask you to acknowledge that what you graciously received is also a responsibility to tend to the well-being of Mother Nature showing kindness and respect with our actions and words to all living beings.
Know that this special initiation has been handed down from very ancient sages from the Peruvian spiritual lineage called the Q’eros, which is now available to you for your growth in all aspects of your life. You can connect with them and know that you will never walk alone. Here is a video of our teacher Don Francisco Chura Flores, doing his prayer in Quechua, honoring the directions, the Apus (spirit of the mountains), the continents, the spiritual sages Pampa Mesayoks… If you want to know more about Don Francisco, here is another video.
Please refer to this video if you need a reminder of how to offer the Healer’s rite to others. It features Marcela Villalobos who has been walking with these rites for many years and who handed them down to our teacher, Malieokalani.
We are offering the Munay -ki rites with Maria and Laura to deepen our connection to Gaia, and the natural,wholistic system of Sujok therapy and Smile Taiji with Meenakshi to bring Gaia’s smile into our mind, body and life. 🙏 We will send a separate email with information on our upcoming workshops. Please involve your children in your journey.
How wonderfully they joined in the Despacho and gratitude lotus ceremonies, for gratitude is natural and healing to us all. It was lovely to have family’sparticipate in this retreat! Having children flow in and out and activities following their internal compass and cultivating this important skill. They had time for self-directed play and discovery as well as some more structured activities. Children took part in team building games. They were carefully selected and mindfully facilitated by Laura with the intention to create a space where they could experience and learn from each other: effective ways of communication, how to work together as a team and how to cultivate positive group dynamics, all in the midst of play. It was a blessing to have children be part of our sacred space that day and we hope to keep creating more spaces for families to cultivate the love for nature. Until then, we encourage you to take your children outside, plant a garden or keep some plants around, watch wildlife, journal and draw with them. All of this will allow their connection to the environment to become stronger.
For wonderful and simple ideas to do with your kids in nature please read this post we love. Bringing ourselves and our children closer to nature may seem like a challenge today, but it is through this very special connection that we develop a sense of ownership in order to become her guardians… Children will benefit in so many ways by being in nature and we will be very happy to allow and witness it.
Everyday at 9:09 in the morning or evening, or at any convenient time, let us renew our love and gratitude by returning to Gaia: Mother Earth and all beings. Sense the thousands all over the world who are with us. Please share this message with all. Gaia is calling. www.SyncGaiaHug.wordpress.com
As we spring forward through this year, let us deepen our connection with the many new forms of self-awareness that we encountered. We have noted your interest in our offering, and will be happy to invite you to our events in a separate email.
We hope to see you again very soon! With love and gratitude,
Laura, Maria and Meenakshi
