Shamanic Soul Retreat on Zakynthos
Extend your summer on the Greek paradise island of Zakynthos while gently awakening the calling and power within you. Find your voice within, new meaning and power while enjoying the vacation of a lifetime with white sand between your toes, swimming in the turquoise sea and outstanding Greek cousine. All this together with ceremony, lectures and meditations under the stars in Greek olive groves. Moments of self-development and self-love that will bring inner peace.
This retreat is a completely new concept from us and created both for those of you who want to start an inner journey with your soul and for those of you who are already on that journey and want to deepen yourself with new wisdom, inspiration and insights.
During this magical week, we meet at sunrise every morning for a gentle awakening with strengthening yoga (we will hold and guide a yoga that is calm and gentle on the body and that everyone can perform). This is combined with guided meditation for reflection and growth.
Each morning we will focus on a new group of chakras. These power centers that connect your physical body with your spiritual are a bridge between physical reality and your inner spiritual journey. By getting to know these energy centers, the veil between the worlds can be experienced and explored.
The meditations will introduce you to personal and spiritual guides with whom you will create deep relationships. These helpers will guide and support you on your life journey and help you find the answers and power within you.
After breakfast we meet for sharing, followed by Victor’s magical lectures about the Inca shamanic tradition and its energy medicine.
Be guided through deep healing exercises to rewrite the past, transform the present and dream a new dream into manifestation. All this with ancient tools from the Andean nature people. A gift of this journey is that you will also receive three powerful initiations to awaken, renew and strengthen your journey through life. You will soon feel how your wisdom, soul and senses are expanding.
Then the rest of the day is yours to enjoy as you wish. This island is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea so the beaches and blissful moments will be many. There are also mountains, magical lagoons, shopping streets and restaurants of all kinds to explore.
Just around sunset we will meet in the olive grove again for a moment of meditative ceremony. You just need to rest, enjoy and partake in the healing powers of energy medicine. When our day is over, the stars shine above us and the rest of the night is yours.
Let us take you to a beautiful place both inside and outside of you. A place of life insights, rest and spiritual rebirth. Give this gift to yourself!
Victor Forselius ||
Energy Medicine & Ceremony
Victor Forselius works with Inca Shamanic Energy Medicine. Victor has walked alongside the Q´ero people since 2009 and has been guided through an ancient tradition of wisdom, healing and deep personal development. Victor is a popular and loved lecturer/course leader who, with deep wisdom, guides people to understand and re-experience physical, emotional and spiritual health.
As shamans, we see ourselves as living in a world of living energy that is always responding and interacting with our soul’s journey through life. Every human being has a deep relationship with the spirit of life that consciously or unconsciously guides us. We see ourselves as spiritual beings having a human experience and not the other way around. Despite our beautiful, soulful and non-judgmental view of life, it is not about us trying to be some kind of supernatural and spiritual being. For us, it is about being a conscious human being of deep empathy, compassion and walking from a whole and powerful place within us. A place where we hold conscious gifts, believe in our greatest potential, dreams and see life through possibilities.
We highlight how wonderful it is to be human and to live fully present. How important it is to enjoy, live and laugh a lot without being held back by limiting feelings about ourselves and others. To not take life too personally and seriously, but to be able to face what happens within and around us with ease and understanding.
We seek to bring the gifts of our soul into life and to walk in balance with one foot in the physical world of form and the other in the world of energy and spirit. A shaman’s journey is about regaining the right relationship to life and everything we encounter both within us and around us. With fantastic tools from ancient traditions, we learn to, through balance and will, be able to live and create a beautiful and self-chosen life.
Mattias Wennmark || Meditation
Mattias has always had a close relationship with the soul’s journey and contact with the spirit world.
He met Victor in 2018 and through the journey of the Medicine Wheel, a relationship was created with the present and most of all the chronic anxiety he had carried his whole life was healed. Meditation became the great passion that keeps the journey going. Today he is together with Victor, Marketing Manager at CondorSonqo and holds groups and meetings to share the Inca shamanic tradition, coach other shamans on the journey and teach the medicine of meditation.
The soul is our origin and the first seed, around it the self and life are created. On life’s journey we all know that things happen, things that create different imprints and instead give birth to the ego. From that place we create expressions that are not in line with our true self or calling.
If we instead connect with the voice within and walk our truth, express and create from that place, no new imprints are created, we leave no traces or wounds behind us. With meditation we can let go of the ego and find a way back to our true voice.
With conscious presence, we can shift our focus, find the answers within, and see ourselves and life with clarity. Both meditation and mindfulness have helped us guide ourselves since time immemorial. To let go of pain, both physical, mental and spiritual, and find a way back to ourselves to express ourselves as who we truly are and want to be.
Camilla Berg || Yoga
Camilla is an important part of CondorSonqo as CEO, assistant and since
she began her journey through the Inca Shamanic path through the heart,
she has come to love the teachings and the way Victor shares them. Camilla has
since her 20s been a seeker in personal and spiritual development
and encountered yoga early. She usually says that she has tried almost everything and over time she now dedicates her free time to helping, healing and sharing.
The yoga we will be performing is a gentle yoga that is suitable for anyone who is curious about exploring their body and mind with awareness and presence.
This form of yoga is suitable for everyone regardless of age or gender. 90% of yoga is actually just showing up and saying yes to yourself.
We guide you to listen to your body and work based on your own conditions.
NOTE: Camilla is not with us on the second week held in English. Victor will be teaching the yoga this week.
Helena Carlson || Organizer
The first time Helena visited Zakynthos she felt like she had been here before and now she was home. Since then she has gotten to know modern-day Zakynthos anew and has become a true expert on everything about the island.
Since CondorSonqo began to establish itself on the island, Helena has been the given organizer, always here for us and all beloved participants.
Helena has been interested in alternative treatments and different paths to health and harmony since the age of 20. She has trained in various body therapies and will now take the plunge and join the Medicine Wheel this spring.
