(ENGLISH DESCRIPTION & FACILITATOR BIOs BELOW)

Velkommen!
Æg og Frø er en sammenkomst i Påsken med det formål at indgå i et Frugtbarhedsritual.
Vi er 8 facilitatorer der forener kræfter i at holde rum for spiring, eksperimentering, sam-arbejde og fejring omkring fuld månen og forårs Jævndøgnet 2018.

Dagene er struktureret i 3 dele.
I løbet af morgenerne vil vi lave jordforbindelses arbejde med vores Jord Krop såsom at klargøre jorden til frøene, at tænde ild, plante træer, samle æg eller sætte kartofler.
I løbet af eftermiddagen vil vi vække følsomheden i vores hud og lege med det energimæssige landskab i vores indre Natur guidet af erfarne opdagelsesrejsende i form af strukturerede workshops, trygge rum og ritualer.
I løbet af aftenerne vil vi indgå i kollektive og kreative ceremonier, genskabe det vilde, fejre skiftet i Årstid og ankomsten af Forår.
Ugen vil kulminere i en festlig Frugtbarheds Rite som vi selv skaber ud fra vores kollektive intentioner, håndværk, fantasier og ønsker.

Alt bliver gjort og holdt i rammen af en hellig bøn.

Hovedsageligt handler ugen om at komme sammen i frie udtryk af vores forbundne og intime forhold til Jorden. Vi kommer sammen for at nyde livet, genvinde, genopfinde og huske vores ritualer. Vi samles for at opleve kommen-i-enhed, for at skabe en udvidet familie og for at blive befrugtet kreativt, fysisk og åndeligt imens vi spiser, ’træner vores æg’, fornyer vores marker og bliver rørte imens vi bringer vores kræfter sammen ind i den nye tid.

Æg og Frø er om Skønheden ved Væren i Kroppen og Kærligheden ved Livet på denne Jord.
Det er en fejring og en ritualiseret skabelse af den hellige Forbindelse mellem Eros og Økologi, Kroppen og Videre, livets cyklus og en demonstration af, at ved at tage vare på Naturen tager hun vare på os.
Det er en uge med radikal ærlighed og selv-ansvarlighed, transformation gennem leg og bøn, alt rummet i en beholder af kærlighed med intention om at styrke, inspirere og tjene hinanden som vi tjener jorden.
Det er en uge med Kødelig Alkymi, Mytologi lavet til Materie, Frugtbarhed og Opstandelse, Musik og Medicin, Spirer og Spiritualitet, Genfødsel omkring forårsjævndøgnet og vækkelsen af liv overalt omkring os.

Lyset er på vej.
Du er inviteret.

(ENGLISH DESCRIPTION & FACILITATOR BIOs)

Welcome!
Æg & Frø (Egg & Seed) is a gathering during Easter with the purpose of engaging in a Fertility Rite.
We are eight facilitators joining forces to hold space for germination, experimentation, co*labor*ation and celebration around the full moon and the spring Equinox of 2018.

The days are structured in three parts.
During the mornings we will be doing grounding work with our Earth Body such as preparing the soil for the seeds, lighting the fire, planting trees, collecting eggs or putting the potatoes.
During the afternoon we will awaken the sensitivity of our skin and play with the energetic landscape of our inner Nature guided by experienced explorers in the form of safe spaces, structured workshops and rituals.
During the evenings we will engage in collective and creative ceremonies re-wilding and celebrating the change of Season and the arrival of Spring.
The week will culminate in a festive Fertility Rite of our own making, drawing on our collective intentions, crafts, fantasies and desires.
All is done and held within a sacred prayer.

Mainly this week is about coming together in free expression of our interconnected and intimate relationship with the Earth. We come together to enjoy life, to reclaim, reinvent and remember our rituals. We gather to experience come*unity, to conceive an extended family and to be fertilized creatively, physically and spiritually as we eat and exercising our eggs, renew our fields and become touched as we bring our forces together into this new time.

Æg & Frø is about the Beauty of Being in the Body & the Love for Living on this Land.
It is a celebration and a ritualized conception of the sacred Union between Eros & Ecology, the Body & Beyond, the circle of life and a demonstration of how by taking care of Nature she takes care of us.
It is a week of radical honesty and self-responsibility, transformation through play & prayer, all inside a container of love with the intention to empower, inspire and serve each other as we serve the soil.
It is a week of Carnal Alchemy, Mythology made into Matter, Fertility and Resurrection, Music and Medicine, Sprouts and Spirits, Rebirthing around the vernal equinox and the awakening of life all around us.

The light is coming.
You are invited.

// WHO ARE WE:
____________

DANIEL HERNANDEZ
My name is Daniel Hernandez. I am an itinerant mischief-maker exploring the ritual roots of performance. The deeper I have dived into teaching, performing, and living in this rich territory, the more I have seen archaic/ shamanic clown and mask cosmologies become fascinating and colourful routes into individuation: containing a vast treasure-box of rituals, dance, liminal states, grotesque archetypes and clown-lore.

My performances, projects, ceremonies and workshops draw upon a wide variety of related traditions: These include Dance, Clown, Bouffon, Butoh, Contact Improvisation, Tao/Tantra, Vodou, Mask, Psychomagic, Art, Sacred Sexuality and Breathwork.

I am continually researching and developing my practice through trainings, readings, writings, ceremonies, experiments, and mistakes. My first love was music. I don’t claim to be a master of anything.

MADU (-aka- Maud Gancet)
is an Earth indigenous wanderer who is intensely curious about all manifestations of Life. She feels and works with the invisible realms dancing around and within us. She welcomes what is, and likes to encourage awareness blossoming by creating a propitious environment for Heart-relieve, opening, and connecting with oneself in all its layers.

She enjoys weaving and crafting her magic with an abundant variety of tools and studies, such as body-consciousness, contact improvisation, butoh, transe-induced journey, dancing and singing circles, radical honesty, sweat-lodges and master-plant teachings. She has been practicing and refining the Pulse Breathing method for 5 years, travelling around the world for 8 years, learning, celebrating, and receiving blessings from different shamans, healing practicioners, artists…Nature.

A modern Alchemist of sounds, defender of the true essence of celebration and manifestor of harmony Dimitrios is carrying an extensive career as a Dj shared in 3 continents of the world (Greece, Brazil & Turkey) for over 16 years.
His sound and musical knowledge are versatile and innovative as they travel beyond expectations and into a great variety of rhythmic and melodic forms that embrace the plurality of this world or even others as well.

His eclectic taste, sensitivity and ability to stir emotions made him perform his music in a diverse of events always delivering the Medicine of Music (as he calls it) pure… as it comes from the heart.
Since 2014 Dimitrios has expanded his craft by giving Music Treatment sessions to individuals and groups organizing events of Conscious Celebration & Wellness Events and sharing the hidden truth of Music as a Medicine for all conditions and disorders through his project “The Music Medicine”.

“The Music Medicine” is a Consciousness, a musical Entity that aims to remind us that the states of harmony and enjoyment are directly related to sound and inspired by Nature itself.

Under this Consciousness, a collective of Musicians, Dj’s, Performers & Practitioners came together with the purpose of raising the vibration in spaces and individuals, using the Medicines of Music and Movement.

The Music Medicine uses Workshops, Musical Ceremonies, Live Shows, Podcasts and Intimate Experiences to “tune” more people to the same consciousness and vibration.

Torben continuously takes part in workshops, talks and therapy related to body, mind and spirit. He believes that our language shapes and limits our minds and thereby the way we feel, think and act. Whereas our bodies meet others with immediacy – constantly altering our perception of the world. Moving into the nourishment of oceanic energies – requires that we move into our bodies and let go of Language, Time and Space.

Now, I weave my Nordic Ways with my World Wisdom, planting seeds while sharing my physical prayers, ceremonies, sessions and medicine songs throughout the world in alignment with the truth of my Nature and the Heart of the Forest Within. I do this flowing with, expressing and praying for the Sacred Waters of life.

All I offer is grounded in my own lived embodied experience, drawing from all aspects of my Life Art inspired by Somatic Movement, Contact Improvisation, Body Rituals, Shibari, Tantra, Continuum, Tao Yoga, Massage, Poetry, Permaculture, Indigenous knowledge & various shamanic traditions & plant teachers.
