Greg Chambers1 comment

“The Moon is a circle, the Earth is a circle, the Drum is a circle, and WE are a circle.”

Global Drum Gathering

This Lions Gateway we will unite in drum circle at Pyramids of Chi where the vibrations of our drumbeats will reverberate throughout the world. Our intention is simple, spreading love and light in a time of darkness.

Lead by Kevin Westrich, aka Joseph White Owl, we will begin at 12pm by calling in the four directions, welcoming and giving thanks to spirit for guiding us on our journey. The drumming will then commence for the next hour using our large Pow-Wow drums, shamanic drums, djembe’s and those that our guests bring along!

Our drums heartbeats will connect with those of our brothers and sisters around the globe who will be drumming in their own circles. These gatherings circumnavigate our planet from Asia, Australia, New Zealand, North and South America, Canada, all over Europe, the United Kingdom, Africa, the Pacific Islands and many more. Together our hearts will beat as one along with Mother Earth!

“When the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colours, classes, creeds, and who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be known as Warriors of the Rainbow.”

New event - Sonic Enchantment

Greg Chambers

with Fabio Garces via live-link from Sweden

With over 10 years’ experience in the field, Fabio Garces is one of the pioneers of this work and has built a loyal following while creating a truly unique and transformational experience.

This unique concept has achieved incredible success at wellness festivals around the globe.

Sonic Enchantment is a live musical and multi-sensory experience which brings listeners on a journey through the mind, body, and soul.

Mixing old world and new world technology, the resulting effect serves to create personal experiences that span a wide range of transformative benefits such as restoration and the re-emergence of balance and inner calm.

Merging a background in music production, sound design and a personal journey with meditation practices from around the world, Fabio Garces has spent the last decade researching and developing this project.

Exploring the field of cymatics, acoustic therapies, solfeggio frequencies and ancient Egyptian, Tibetan, South American, Central American, and shamanic sound healing practices, he has developed an approach combining modern acoustic technology with ancient sound healing.

About your host:

Kevin’s life experiences have taken him from corporate financial environments to small business ownership and humanitarian missions from Cuba to Lourdes, France, and Africa. He is also an Author, Speaker, Guide and Spiritual Teacher. 

After 10 years spent in the financial world managing Fortune 500 companies, Kevin had his first awakening at the age of 40 after exploring yoga, meditation and acupuncture which opened him to his spiritual journey and learnings. This first experience was so life altering that he left his successful career and everything he owned to enter his path of inner truth. Which led him to Sedona, in Arizona, where he spent 21 years navigating small business ownership to the mystical synchronicities.

Following his intuition and his heart along with spiritual teachers Grandfather Morning Owl and Swami Buddha Nanda, his path trans-versed from near death experiences to indigenous ceremonies and the development of soulful journey.

Wanting to add another dimension to his knowledge, Kevin decided to follow a master’s degree in Trans-personal psychology with an emphasis in spirituality which allowed him to combine both mystical and practical methodologies.

Immersed in healing and sound therapies for so long his need to share and being in service brought him in alignment with his life calling to Bali where he conducts sound healing, ceremonies, and therapy sessions to assist and guide others in the process of awakening to their inner knowing and purpose.

Some of the tools used during his workshops include Relationship counselling, beginning Meditation, intention setting, grief therapy, kinesiology, neuro-emotional release work, inner-child work, letter writing and sound healing etc.

Her approach to Sound Healing is a practice of alchemy - creating transformational states - and one leaning towards an intuitive and shamanic viewpoint. She equally enjoys the scientific aspects of what makes Sound “Healing” such a valuable modality.

She loves diverse instruments, and especially values the power of the voice, no matter how inexperienced.

Special event - Elixir of The Gods - Blue Lotus Solstice Ceremony

Greg Chambers

Blessings, fire ritual, new beginnings, Blue Lotus tea, harmonization & relaxation


In honour of the coming Winter Solstice, we bring you the Elixir of The Gods - Blue Lotus Solstice Ceremony.

* Receive a blessing with temple incense
* Let go of what no longer serves you, in a fire ritual
* Tune into your heartfelt intentions for new beginnings in your life
* Taste of & journey with the sacred Blue Lotus flower, served as a ceremonial tea
* Harmonize your energy field through activating the healing vibrations in your voice
* Deeply relax, dream and surrender in a cosmic Sound Healing journey.

Solstice:

The Solstice commences on exactly 11.31 am Bali time on the 21th of June, and marks the reversal of the Sun’s ebbing in the sky in the Southern Hemisphere. This means, that on this day we experience the shortest amount of daylight and that from this day forward the presence of the Sun will grow more each day, towards its highest elevation on (the Solstice of) 21 Dec. (Note: in the Northern Hemisphere the summer & winter Solstices are exactly opposite).

Energetically this day is the most Yin / inwards time of the year and all in nature moves towards a rest and pause. The cosmic significance of this day has been revered by many cultures and celebrated in festivals and rituals, and symbolizes the death and rebirth of the Sun, the returning of the Light and the potency of Life. We warmly welcome you at the Pyramids to activate, anchor & illuminate this cosmic potential.

Blue Lotus (Nymphaea Caerulea):

Native to Ancient Egypt, the Blue Lotus Flower was considered Sacred and to represent spiritual rebirth and life force energy. This majestic Flower was used in Temple Ceremonies for blessing, anointing, healing and meditation.

Served as a ceremonial Tea, (a slightly sweet & golden liquid that reminds one of melted amber) the Blue Lotus flower warms your body with a light euphoric glow and allows you to access deeper parts of your subconscious. A gentle Dream Herb and Aphrodisiac, the Blue Lotus Flower has Balancing Healing properties, particularly in the areas of circulation, immune system & reproductive organs. It nourishes, restores & rejuvenates our Chi (vital flowing energy), soothes the nervous system, and opens the pathways to inner vision.
