Heart Song Connection with the Web of Life
Building THE BRIDGE between
Soil and Stars


Clear the river of life
Listening to the Heart's Song will positively increase the flow of joy, abundance and grace in your life.
​
Clearing a path for the flow to return in every area of your life requires a time set aside for nourishing your body with clean, natural, restorative meals, thoughts and actions.
​
During the Heart Song Retreat we will BRIDGE the gap between our ordinary sensory habits and extraordinary experiences.
​
Join us for 12 Days on the Magical Island of Hawaii, exploring 12 Sacred sites and enlivening the 12 senses.
​
Form a deeper communion with Nature and allow yourself to be supported by a playfully exploring community amplified by collective intentions.

Fill your love Cup
​
Our Devotion is our Love-letter to Life.
​
“With nothing to hold back and store for - "just in case".
She gives herself to the experience, like an enraptured lover,
fearing no rejection
She knows she will continue loving, even if her love is not met
She cares only to give love, not to get
And then, to her surprise she feels how
Love is a well
A surplus
Without a ceiling”
​

​

Weaving the loom of magic
Relax into the arms of mother nature, let the soft folds of her wisdom cradle you.
The Island's welcome Aloha breathes into
Frozen parts,
Expanding inner sensations of volume and space, such Grace
We witness the unfolding of the heart's fragrance
Birds sing to cheer and wake what slumbers
Waves of passion meander
Into dark heart caves
YES
No longer hunting for answers in tea leaves
Knowing whispers in the soul
LISTEN
Pain roars, grief buries deep furrows
For the loss of connection is too
Heavy a burden on the heart
Pain does not dissappear when Joy enters
Pain is a sharp clarity
Of life closed too tight
Grief and sorrow dine at the heart
But do not close the entrance for the deepest desire
to sit beside it
​
Alchemizing coversation
Between love, loss, pleasures and pain
Then bring the mountains on your mind
To the soft Earth so fair,
for a while to bathe there
For the soul would be dull and barren
If not to breathe in her majesty
The great sea of Love
May once again take us, move us
And sweep us up in playful waves of laughter

THE KEEPERS
OF ANCIENT WISDOM
​
Explore the heartbeat of the Earth through mutual interaction in balanced and gentle ways. Herein lies our connection with the Waters of the World.
Rivers of life rise up as vapours to meet the sunrays, they return to Earth purified by sun-light. In an ideal life-cycle rain would fall back to earth as purified water, uncontaminated by air pollutants. The same water that is now inside our body was once in the ocean and rivers. In the heat of the sun, the Ocean is like a giant steam engine, a weather generator that governs rainfall cycles, hurricanes, floods, droughts, agriculture and life on Earth.
​
Earth's water originally came from space.
​
There is evidence to support what most Astronomers believe.
The Solar nebulae and asteroids carried water to the Earth.
​
The "flavour' of water depends on the amount of deuterion to hydrogen isotopes it contains.
The University of Hawaii recently purchased an ion microprobe that might be able to sample Earth's earliest water, water that never mixed with other surface materials.
​
New knowledge about the heavy water trapped in the Earth's crust may be revealed through studying the bright green olivine or black pyroxene embedded in black lava found alos on Padloping and Baffin Island.
​
Green olivine crystals in lava can contain and protect hydrogen collected during Earth's formation, allowing researchers to determine it's ratio of deuterium and hydrogen.
​
These Islands contain the fingerprints of the Earth's earliest water.
​
Earth and the rest of the planets in our Solar system formed as a result of a gas nest of oxygen and hydrogen) which formed as a result of the birth of the Sun.
The great Ocean is an ancient library of information.
A body of water really should be considered as a sentient living organism in it's own right.
Water is an Ancient form of life, older than the Earth.
The Earth is estimated to be around 4,543 billion years ld, water is even older than that.
​
The composition of human blood is nearly identical to that of sea water, we are all in the same boat.
​
Whales and Dolphins are the keepers of this Ancient wisdom, swimming in the library of the waters.
​
Cetaceans help restore the balance on the planet when they sing (eco-locate)into the song lines of our earth.
​
Their songs massage and tone the planet in order to keep us in a state of harmonious balance.
The Whales and Dolphins serve the planet and the world of man in very intrinsic and deeply spiritual ways, yet they go unrecognised for their service.
​
When Whales migrate around the planet they follow the same bio-magnetic lines and eco-locate or sing onto these lines, which restore balance on the planet.
Whales and Dolphins see with sounds, acoustic pictures.
Cetaceans transmit a sound wave which bounces off objects in their path and returns to them as a sound picture of their swim path, they scan their path in this way.
Cetaceans work together in this way too. They swim through a world of sound, yet fail to co-ordinate when the Ocean is bombarded with sound from military, shipping, oil and gas explorations (Shane Gero, University of Ottawa 2023, Dolpins can shout , but it is never loud enough)
​
"Through 200 trials with 5 different sound environments, scientists observe how Dolphins changed their behavior to compensate for loud noise. Cetaceans are highly evolved and sound-sensitive with highly developed autitory intelligence.
​
Dolphin double the length of their calls and amplify their whistles, in a sense shouting, to be heard above cacophonies of white noise or recordings of a pressure washer", like the ones used in Aquariums (extract from article by Caroline Wilke 2023).
​
Our basic human intuition tells us that any sentient creature that can see with sound will be deeply affected by noise pollution, yet scientist need to prove this deep intrinsic knowledge by exposing Dolphins to extreme noise (like experiments conducted by biologists Pernille Sorensen with dolphins Delta and Reese at an experimental lagoon in the Florida keys) under water and subjecting them to loud noise. To me this seems like a counter-intuitive science.
Whales and Dolphins are active participants in the unfolding evolutionary story- cycles of Man. Ancient history tells us much about Man's relationship with dolphins and whales and Man is intrinsically involved in the story of Cetacean evolution and our effect on their evolutionary cycles are profound.
How we express our relationship with Dolphins and Whales on our planet is a direct reflection of our stage of development.
A deepened relationship naturally leads to a desire to protect and serve the loved one.
​
The Dolphins and Whales are Ancient Teachers, guiding us to reconnect with the heartbeat of the life sustaining rhythms of the Earth and the musical sway of the waves. I believe we will find out more about Cetaceans with our open heart"s connecting-sensory-aparatus than with mechanical noise trials. By entering their world respectfully, they can speak directly into our hearts and minds on a level where our entire being KNOWS.
​
No aquarium can duplicate the living conditions in the Sea and no Cetacean captive in a Marine park can be considered normal. The best understanding comes from understanding Cetaceans in their natural environment, which by definition will change the way the observer interacts with the subject observed.
If we wish to understand Nature we should consult with Nature herself.
​
If we wish to understand other sentient life forms, like Dolphins or Whales, we should consult with the Dolphins and Whales themselves. Our conscious participation is the best form of research we could hope to gain insight from.
