KUNDALINI YOGA: Yogigems has curated a special programme of kundalini yoga practices to guide us into an expansive experience of our true self. Each session invites you to bask in the bliss of tat tvam asi – your sat nam, the light that you are.
NOURISHMENT: Our wonderful vegan chef Jóna María will create delicious sattvic meals with such tenderness – you will taste the love!
SOUND JOURNEYS: Each day will culminate with a sublime sound journey with gifted sound therapist Tinna María. Tinna will also facilitate our heart-opening cacao ceremonies.
COSMOLOGY: Our Radiant Expansion weekend is held within the Pleiadian portal, which opens between 16-24 May at the cusp of Taurus and Gemini. This opens us to a higher frequency in the heart, a loving initiation into an expansive and radiant state of heart-being. Jupiter conjuncts the Sun on our ultimate night together, 19 May, bringing us into a true embodied experience of gyan mudra and magnifying the light of our consciousness.
Those who feel called are invited to seal this special experience with a hand-poke tattoo with artist Fanaha in our closing ceremony.

OUR HEART TEAM
Jóna María
Self-taught plant cook, fairy elven, plant medicine journey facilitator and more, Jóna María will nourish our bodies and souls over the weekend. She co-creates the magic with life force energy using whole foods bursting with colour and joy that support our journey. Jóna Maria has a deep desire to bring playfulness into how we approach nourishment and healing with food.
A mother of two, Jóna María’s previous path was as an entrepreneur creating and designing women’s clothing, supporting women to love their bodies and feel good about themselves. She closed that chapter in 2020 and started a self-healing journey working with plant medicine, crystal tones and nature.
Tinna María
Tinna María’s passion in life is to hold space and help people connect to their truth through their own, unique way, acknowledging that every individual holds all the answers for their own journey.
Her wish is to help you find inner stillness and peace. She has been a full-time craniosacral therapist, working with adults, children and animals, since 2007. Throughout her work and studies, she has travelled the world, mainly in the USA but also in Europe.
Tinna María has always been very aware of the energetic impact of music and sound and has been working with sound-healing instruments since 2008. She hosts sound journey events weekly for groups and individuals as well as hosting private sound alchemy sessions in her studio. See her website, Orkulind.is
Fanaha
Fanaha is a french artist who found back her roots and truth in Iceland.
She is a painter, a writer, an illustrator, creatrix of oracles, passioned by runes and mythology, philosophy and poetry, she is a former singer and dancer. Most of all, a dreamer.
Very sensitive and intuitive, devoted to seeking and bringing up light, she plays with frequencies of shapes, colours, symbolism, and emotions to create poetic universes. Her art has many different layers and is alive with the light. Trained in energetic healing, she makes of her art her service, calling it: alchemical art. She preaches the potency of frequencies and energy rather than “chemical helpers”.
Deeply consecrated to her own forever self-development and deeper knowledge’s seeker, she desires for everyone to connect back to their heart, acknowledge and heal their wound and bring up to the world their own magic.
Gemma aka Yogigems
Gemma aka Yogigems has been teaching kundalini yoga since 2010, and is qualified as Level 2/ 500hr yoga teacher. She has completed many training certifications in health and wellness, from Reiki to Theta Healing and Angel therapy to Ayurveda, but her most consistent and enduring teacher has been yoga. She has a MA in Yoga & Meditation and continues to study the roots of kundalini in the medieval tantras and yogic texts. Music and mantra feature in Yogigem’s live classes as an integral aspect of kundalini yoga’s alchemical effects.
