A sacred space to begin the journey together.
We invite you to open this four-day journey together, to cross the threshold of the Gathering with presence, intention, and an open heart. A moment to slow down, to land, and to fully step into this vast playground of freedom, play, and connection that we are about to co-create.
This opening ceremony is a foundational moment: a time to gather, to recognize one another, to connect, and to weave a collective field of softness, trust, and unity that will hold the entire Gathering. A space to welcome ourselves exactly as we are, to set personal and collective intentions, and to allow ourselves to be fully who we are—in all the richness, vulnerability, and joy of our humanity.
Sophie Auber, the organizer and visionary of this Gathering, will open the space and guide us through a heart-centered meditation—an invitation to connect with ourselves, with one another, and with something greater, so that our hearts may beat as one and we may enter the circle together, connected and aligned.
We will be accompanied by the sacred medicine of cacao, the plant of the heart, gently opening our inner space and supporting presence, connection, and the flow of love.
To support this vibrational opening, Chloé Monin will offer medicine songs to harmonize our energies, awaken the memory of connection, and weave a subtle thread between our souls.
This ceremony is an invitation to honor the passage, to step into the circle together, to welcome what is present, and to open wide the doors to all that we will live, explore, play, and celebrate during these four days of Gathering.
