report by Dennis Wittrock held regularly since 2004, the Celebrate Life Festival in the yard Oberlethe place in Oldenburg. hosts are the spiritual teacher Thomas Hübl Academy and the Science of Inner . Under the title "Consciousnes & Evolution - Awakening into a New Culture" came this year from 30.07-09.08. 1000 total of people together to meditate long by 11 days to drown each other, to learn, discuss, confront its shadow to dance and celebrate life. The weather was good and turned the festival at the lake temporarily in a tent and swimming paradise.
addition site contributors like John Heimrath (Club of Budapest WorldShift Foundation), Scilla Elworthy (PeaceDirect and WFC), the futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard and the author Byron Katie ("The Work ") hooked up via Skype.
pleasing from an integral point of view was that this year increased momentum integral explicitly in the program surfaced. The author and Wilber-Kenner Michael Habecker (DIA) said in his keynote speech on "Integral Spirituality" and in-depth the issue on the following day in his workshop with the same title. A highlight of the festival was the phone interview with Ken Wilber Hübl of Thomas, which was translated by Max Peschek and Dennis Wittrock. Ken answered, including issues of global crisis, as the new U.S. president Barack Obama, as well as spiritual confusion Satsang in the scene. The closure was a workshop by Dennis Wittrock (DIA) with the theme "Integral Life Practice on the penultimate day.
gave it every day "Sharing the Presence" and "toning" with Thomas Hübl. He repeatedly referred to the work of Ken Wilber and other integral thinkers. The festival's program was designed so that the modules of integral life practice completely covering: Yoga (body) and meditation (Spirit) in the morning, followed by mental input through presentations (spirit), and finally intensive psychodynamic work (shadow) in the sharing and with the help of numerous assistants of the team to consult with you in private sessions could.
auto accessory modules of the ILP as the "work" were covered by an armada of volunteers and non-profit charity-oriented nature of the event (donations for aid projects). A total of € 26,000 came together, not least because Thomas Hübl donated the proceeds of the sale of his new book "Sharing the Presence" on the spot to one hundred percent. Also worth mentioning is the family-friendly and cross-generational focus of the popular festivals with child care and youth camp. Here, early sown seeds of awareness.
Let's curious in which direction this continuously evolving Festival moved. One thing is clear: the awakening of a new culture of consciousness and evolution has already begun and already showing the first contours.
