June 27: Perceiving and perception

What a pleasure and great honour to host Diego Sanchez again. Diego returns to Holland to teach in his most unique way how to use your eyes and all other senses (the peripheral vision). Diego blends his training and knowledge of shamanism, shiatsu, chakra’s and modern science. As a former fashionmodel he has a keen eye & mind for perception and perceiving.

Do feel welcome to come and develop your senses and your compassionate heart. Diego has a warm Southern-American, convivial way of showing you your capacity and expands that what you thought you were capable of. Do expect the unexpected. The last time we rounded up the workshop by dancing together to internalise our new ways of being in the world.

Imagine yourself at this authentic 230 yr old wellness Ryokan, that is currently being restored to old lustre with modern amenities
