Conscious Concert Ireland 2018

Calling all conscious creatures in Ireland! This year’s Conscious Concert theme is Serendipity. Delighted to provide the space for amazing humans to meet each other, connect, be still, dance, love, sing, share your art & your medicine.

The Motherland of The Mother

I am often being asked about the difference between experiencing medicine at the source in the jungle and doing samas with native tribes (dieta with plants) versus the experience of the medicine around the world, usually served in a quick weekend or week-long retreats. A complex question, but just take a look at that video, tap into it, and you might just sense the difference right away.

Kené – The Visual Language of Nature

Shipibo designs and art, known as Kené, express an energy matrix woven through all of creation. Inspired by nature and observation of the environment it not only is rooted in the shamanistic visions but, more importantly, in the profound connection with the ecosystem the Shipibo-Conibo tribes are settled in. As such, Kené is not just an art style but it does belong to the ecosystem and is present, in the first place, in plants and animals throughout the Amazon basin.

Plant-based Medicine Documentaries

From documentaries to full feature movies, here is Pangean’s selection of inspirational videos that touch the subject of plant-based medicinal work and can contribute to the understanding of the complex phenomena the jungle shamanism is.

The Flower of Mapacho Gathering

This is a gentle reminder for a spectacular astral event to come and a call to connect! Wherever you will be on that glorious night, my dear Earthlings, let’s connect for that event, watch the spectacular dance of the Sun, the Earth and La Luna together and share our experiences after.

Suí Fínn – The Mysterious Passage Tomb

Seefin, the ancient Neolithic passage tomb, located on a 650m high mountain in the North County of Wicklow, Ireland is a spectacular place that resonates with peaceful, dormant energy. A slightly older (yes, you got that right – older) brother of the Egyptian pyramids, the site, that is now understood to be a part of a series of tombs located on the neighbouring peaks (Seefingan and Seahan also have similar large cairns covering passage tomb), is dated to approximately 5000 years old and was created in the Neolithic period by pre-Celtic architects of a forgotten civilization. The name ‘Seefin’ originates from the Irish Suí Fínn, which means ‘Fionn’s seat.’

Pangean on Goadupa Festival

Pangean is coming to Goadupa Festival 2018, Bieszczady Mountains, Poland with both inspirational, indigenous culture-oriented lectures and workshops.

Pu’uloa Petroglyphs

“We come to Pu’uloa because we want what’s best for our keiki (children). Pu’uloa holds two on my children’s piko. Their kupuna (elders) brought them here and created puka (hole) where their piko (cord) would rest, sealed under a stone. These two keiki, now adults care for me, their own ‘ohana (families), as well as our entire ‘ohana.” – Minnie Kaawaloa, Hawaiian Elder.

FREE Starter Kit to Expand Your Consciousness

Pangean loves documentaries! I decided to share my devotion to documentary films by sharing few of my favourite documentary websites, YouTube channels and inspirational individuals with great free content. I promise they are all worth your precious time and will pay back with some mind-bending / opening / reconstructing ideas.

So sit back, relax and… gently expand.

Postcards from Gaia: Pura Tirta Empul

 

Bali speaks to me with water, rain, flow and a strong sensation of purification and acceptance. And like a river pushes me forward with its current into something new. I have recently visited Pura Tirta Empul (Holy Spring in Balinese), a Hindu Balinese water temple located near the town of Tampaksiring, Bali, Indonesia, founded around a large water spring in 962 A.D.

Know Your Tools

This recently published article on NewRepublic got me really reflecting on the subject of spiritual tools, magical gadgets and all sort of shamanistic accessories. I suggest reading the main article first before continuing with my entry.

Can “healing crystals” really heal anyone, if they are soaked with the energy of corruption and exploitation, sourced from the poor countries where economic and physical exploitation of whole families of miners, often children as young as six or seven years old, and environmental corruption is often squared by the lack of humane labour regulations? What energy will such crystal bring to your powerful shamanistic “altar “?

The Spirit of Mapacho

Sacred Tobacco (bot. Nicotiana Rustica), wild tobacco, known as Mapacho is one of the most important plants in the indigenous shamanistic practices. Shamans from the jungle consider it a Master Plant and the main tool in every shamanistic ritual.
