Agenda, new resonances and news from La Roseraie de Sacha

Dear all,

 Summer is approaching, and we are already celebrating it to the fullest at La Roseraie de Sacha. The gardens are an exuberant delight of the most delicious vegetables, berries, and flowers. We are renovating three bedrooms and several bathrooms. It is going to be more than beautiful again.

We miss Zenna every day. It still needs to sink in that she is truly no longer in and around the house. Fortunately, there are many cherished memories of her long and special life. She was such an example to many in her loving naturalness and surrender.

 Great love, Prajnaparamita

Have you listened to our ‘resonances’?

Onno vertelt

Some sounds that resonate on Roos’ drum have been digitally captured. I then incorporate these recordings into a ritual specifically aligned with these vibrations. During that ritual, the vibrations of the drum merge with sea sounds. The ‘seawater’ absorbs the essence of the sounds and can also return it. Mysterious? Certainly! By playing the sea sounds, the seawater releases what it has absorbed, for the benefit of everyone.

Words from Roos

All manifestation is vibration – sound. When I tune into something, I am empty. The sound of what I tune into resonates on my drum.

Here I have tuned into the Sacha Lineage, in which Narad appears as a beam of light.

Narad is the Adi-guru, the first guru of the Sacha Lineage, thousands of years ago. All gurus of the Sacha Lineage carry the energy of Narad within them.

Then the sound fills with many Masters from authentic spiritual traditions worldwide. The transmission of Prajnaparamita is also represented in the sound.

I receive all of this in my heart and am grateful that I can discern and pass on both the sound and the knowledge of it.

When you listen to this, you only need to receive the sounds. For this natural receiving, you do not need to know or understand anything.

See it as a mysterious blessing on your life path.

I look forward to seeing you during my next shaman week at La Roseraie de Sacha from October 18 – 25.

With love, Roos

And of course, not to forget the first firing of the wood-fired sauna. The sauna ensures that my body stays supple, but above all, that tenants are enticed to come to Villabâton during the low season.

This year, again, I was blown away by the generous gifts you all gave. The next project I will use this for is to insulate the studio even better. A draft-free front-door will be installed in the studio entrance, and I will ensure that all the walls form a draft-tight envelope to keep the warmth inside effectively, so that the studio, too, becomes a warm coat on cold days.

Thank you very much for your unwavering support of the projects at Villabâton. Without your gifts, I would not have been able to walk on the ice, I would not have been able to bask in the heat of the sauna, and the guests in the main house would not have been so comfortable.

Merci beaucoup,
Bisous,
Thijs
