We need brave hearts, hands and heads!
You have a pioneering spirit?
You trust in yourself for the future?
You love to live in a community, on our own land?
You have ideas and skills for the vision of a self-sustaining village?
You see a crisis as a moment of growth?
You dream the dreams of a utopia creating our own culture in harmony with nature?
Come!
Let’s celebrate life together -just be yourself amongst others with earth under your feet.
Our catalysts of the Durga’s Tiger Land Community are Iris Disse, founder of Durgas Tiger School, along with her partner David Höner, founder of Cuisine sans Frontieres. Together with essentials docents and healers we open the space to experience our abundant magic live: we blend techniques of Tantra, Yoga, Arts and Shamanism with the “Sumak Kawsay-Good Living“, the pillars of our community.
For whom:
-For you, who want to live and create the vision of the "Good Live" on Durga´s Tiger Land together with us
-For our "Tigerriders" to reconnect
-For people who want to experience living in community
-For people who want to build a community themselves
-To the ones who simply want to connect and celebrate life
-For Yogis and Yoginis who want to make 100 hrs or YA continuous education
Why: We experience life in our international - holistic community. The techniques we use help us to raise our consciousness, to be able to act and to celebrate life. We learn to consciously create our energy level. Problems become challenges that we take on together with creativity and the spirit of the spiritual warrior. We explore the question: How do I find my “I” in community
Topics: We will dive deep into the Community Vision and "Sumak Kawsay - the good living" and the Durga’s Tiger Teachings while using different techniques:
Yoga in Community: Daily Kaula Tantra Yoga session; Meditation; Mantra and other Yogic/Tantric methods
Shamanism: One Night Plant Medicine Ceremony (Yage) with Taita Fiber from Colombia as well as Cacao Ceremony, Rapé, Sacred Tobacco, Moon Dance and much more
Energy work: Techniques from yoga, shamanism, and tantra.
Sociocracy: Specialized group decision making replaces the "leader". And answering the questions: "Is what we can decide now good enough to test? Does it not endanger the community?" Help to move quickly to action without lengthy debates about principles. You can always change the decision after gaining experience.
Community: We learn to dance between the poles of individual versus community with pleasure
Communication: We use heart to heart communication like Forum or Talking Stick
Community: We learn to dance between the poles of individual versus community with pleasure
Totem as a guardian: For three mornings we use our creativity to create a protective fence around Durga’s Tiger Land with teak logs, paint and imagination.
Socio - permaculture: How do I live as a human being in harmony with nature and neighbors in an intercultural environment?
Food Sovereignty: We present our concept of self-sufficiency, permaculture and what it will become.
Children in community: Holistic education of children
*At the beginning and at the end of the course there is the possibility
to participate in an Ayahuasca ritual*
