Impressions by Romana Liason from our beautiful Earth Rebirth Celebration in March 2023.
Info
This goes out to everyone who loves music, makes music and wants to celebrate a wonderful festival for healing the earth with us.
MBarak is a Gnaoua musician and I am an earth guardian.
We serve with these qualities. We love the earth, which for us is a living being, a soul, a spirit.
Together with you and many people we want to give our heart and our vision to the nature and the whole universe at this very special place and time.
It is the greatest wish and vision of our life to bring together the music of the Gnaoua and the music of our friends, so that we all we can sing together in one voice, dance with our arms reaching to the sky and feel our hearts beat as one.
This is our contribution to delight the heart of Pachamama, our wonderful planet.
We have prepared the Karawanserail for you.
We have been waiting for you since the beginning of our vision: to sing and dance with you under the great firmament, under thousands of stars, around a huge fire. Until we hear the heartbeat of Pachamama and answer her with our drums.
Do you feel the breath of the sun, the sand under your feet, can you smell the desert and feel the wind on your skin? Do you hear the call ?
You are welcome, welcome. Merhaba.

HEIKE RIECK
Old knowledge - new ways
We connect with heaven and earth, carried by the breath deeper and deeper into our inner vastness and presence. And while we can perceive the sound of oneness in this way, we simply become what we are. In this Cosmic Earth Dance we let our bodies move freely and in this timeless space we feel the song of our soul rising from the depths. I Am. I Am. We Are. One.
NIKA HOLLMANN
One whose songs are like good friends who support us, make us thoughtful and tease out our joie de vivre.

Nika is a mother, songwriter, singer and singing group leader, GfG birth preparer and family companion. She not only has a great voice that carries you away. She is a powerful voice in times of change. One who says yes to living with everything that is.
