“It is my task, to give my fire for Mother Earth”

A Herz

Annelies Theelen, from the Netherlands 

Her mission is to support people to live from their heart with light and love. She works with respect for everyones original quality and finds her inspiration in how the bees work together. The way the bees cooperate is how they make the gold, the honey. Its about balance and harmony.

She is reconnected by ancestors  with the knowledge of the Elder Futhark Runes. The origin of these Runes are from the ancestor tradition of the low countries/west Europe and it is time for her to go back to our own culture and traditions.

So it was channelled to her:
“Find the twelve sacred sounds on the Spinal Cord, if you find them and make these sounds with the people, they can be healed through their own DNA.”

Now the time has arrived to spread this gift from our European ancestors out into the world.

The last years she works together closely with the Balinese priest Ida Ayu Purnamawati, called Dayu in healings and yoga sessions and ceremonies (like Kiva NL) and will represent her in the Kiva Germany this year in this energy and her own power.

Obituary:

• January 8th, 2022 - Our elder, grand mother and medicine woman Ulrike - Stille Wasser Frau Auge im Wind 1953 - 2022
  On January 8th she left the shores of our world and returned to the Eternal Woods.

Ulrike Weiland, from Germany

She opens up space to enable people to have deep encounters with nature, with spirits, with themselves and in community around them.

Finding and revitalizing the roots of European earth-wisdom, enabled by tools of first nation ritual work (as a student of Devalon Small Legs, Blackfoot Pikunni, Canada) is a matter of concern to her.

She should be called a song collector (especially for songs in German language and heart full spiritual meaning), a pipe-bearer, and a water pourer.

Accompanied by Hazy J. Albrecht, who, following in the footsteps of his Yenish ancestors from the Austrian Waldviertel, is a reminder and craftsman of ancient natural knowledge in theory and practice, a fire keeper and guardian of the vision of the fox family.

After Austria and the Netherlands, they are now contributing the third Kiva cycle in Europe.

So speaks Grandmother Ulrike:
“Now is the time to pass on my knowledge and experiences to the next generation”

Sinat Arat, from Turkey

He plays the Ney (a flute – and the oldest known instrument) and singer.
Master student of the legendary Bansuri master Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia and the Ney master Kudsi Erguner.

In encounter with this mystical flute, the Ney, his playing style shows the reflection of different approaches, regional Anatolian folk music, and Ottoman and Indian classical music as well as fusion and experimental forms.

Music is an invisible bridge of a breath, where we all are linked and somehow creating a view of life and love in a genuine dimension. Its a bridge through a stone to human, through the hearth to cosmos, through silence to the big bang, through multitude to the oneness.

Ragnar Johnsen, born in Norway…  

So who am I ??? This is a question we should all ask our self-many times and maybe for many, that is not so easy to define and put in to words …

So instead, I will tell you a little about what I spend my time doing; I work with energies … I do healing work … I guide and help the one who is seeking; To connect to their heart and the love & light within … To listen to and be guided by their inner voice … I do ceremonies and conduct a weekly meditation circle with the drum and chants … I do workshops … And maybe most important, I read runes … Or, I translate the message of the runes so that it can be understood by the listener …

Info: Ragnar will be offering private rune readings for a fee of 50,- during the days. Please get in touch to us if you are interested.

Theresia van der Zee, from Netherlands
Since childhood Theresia ( Whisper ) travels through the worlds of her star ancestors and Elven families.
She was bit of a strange and dreamy girl…not of this world some said .
She didn’t speak a lot and stayed somewhat hidden away from groups of people.

That sometimes felt a bit lonely, until she met an Irish old Bard who told her she is” one of the Fae people”. And that she should not forget to share the knowledge and energy of the Fae with people nowadays .
It’s time to connect …..

And so she did … Theresia found a way to integrate and share her worlds as a dance teacher … later traveling with puppet theater … storytelling and harp and drum and songs inspired by her star family and Elvenways.
