During his years as a monk he has met and taught thousands of fellow human beings who have sought growth and guidance in their lives and inner journeys. In the autumn of 2018, Jem himself faced a major life challenge when he was diagnosed with cancer.

Jem will lead meditation, qigong, and workshops in the art of living in the present during this year’s festival. Jem will also hold a workshop together with his wife Emma Dinmali. In this workshop, deep presence and Buddhist teachings form the foundation, and we can allow what rubs within us to rise to the surface and be released with the support of EFT tapping and other techniques. In a safe community we can recognize ourselves in one another and contribute to each other’s healing. Step by step we can become more and more present and enjoy the here and now.

Sanna Akasha Tobias (May 30–June 8)
Sanna Akasha Tobias (May 30–June 8)
My calling in life is to study Yogic/Vedic wisdom and integrate it into every part of my life—how we find inner peace, harmony, and freedom, regardless of external circumstances. I found meditation and soon after yoga when I was 16, and since then I have had a daily practice that has helped me tremendously as I’ve navigated life’s winding paths. However, it wasn’t until I found traditional Vedanta in 2008 that I felt my search truly found answers. Since then I’ve had the immense privilege of spending many months each year with my teachers Swamiji and Radha. With great patience they have helped me understand what it means to come home within myself, to find inner freedom, to understand what the ancient Upanishads want to show us—that this timeless knowledge is just as relevant and sought-after today as it was a thousand years ago. Through my journey in life—as a yoga teacher, an engineer, and now also a mother—this knowledge and these tools have been absolutely invaluable to me, and I therefore feel deeply passionate about sharing them with others who are interested in healing, growth, and moksha—freedom.
Together with my husband Sky, I run Sama Yoga, holistic retreats, and yoga teacher trainings where we integrate yoga’s life wisdom and tools with the physical yoga practices that nourish both body and soul.

The body is the mirror of the mind, and there is profound healing through the therapeutic power of breath-led movement, balanced with stillness in pranayama and meditation. By merging this with release through Thai massage, Nature takes care of everything else.
At the festival he will share workshops on the sacred dance of Thai massage and the art of loving touch, as well as offer private sessions.

Malin Wendel (May 30–June 7)
“Expect nothing, look forward to everything!” These words are written in so-called automatic writing, and the message sums up well a curious, trusting attitude to life—for example, when we step into the Space of Love bubble. Malin works with personal development on different levels: as a mental coach, as an inspirer, and through the written word as an author. Spiritual guidance is present like a pillar of light, rather than a red thread, through all the ways she helps others (and herself) to heal and grow.
During the festival week, Malin will offer workshops in intuitive writing. She shares practical tips that make flow writing easier and guides you into a connected state to welcome the words that want to come through.

Pavel & Sofia (30 May–8 June)
Sofia is a Satyananda Yoga teacher and a devoted free-form dancer. Pavel is experienced in martial arts, and is also a parkour and acrobatics enthusiast. Sofia will facilitate dance workshops inspired by the Five Rhythms; the dance reveals an ancient and contemporary method for unleashing the natural flow of movement, resulting in both personal power and presence of the soul.
Together they will hold workshops in Internal Power, which will include a basic understanding of good posture and how we can strengthen the body by using it more as a unified structure rather than focusing on separate parts of the body and individual muscles. They will do this by offering basic concepts and exercises from the Internal Power training system.
Benefits of Internal Power include a deeper understanding of how the body is naturally designed to move and function. It builds our inner strength in the body by reconnecting us with our power center. The training is based on ancient systems from the East (Japanese/Chinese martial arts, Tai Chi, Yoga, etc.), and focuses on using connective tissue (fascia) and spirals to generate and direct power through the whole body, instead of using individual muscles only.
