Mystical days in Cappadocia ✨

Water remembers.

One of the most powerful ceremonies I’ve ever been part of was holding space in the freshwater pool, hidden within the sacred caves of Cappadocia.

Water has long been associated with memory and emotion, and for many people it can become a powerful space to slow down, reflect and let go. Combined with the resonance of sound, we invited people to reconnect with the safety of the womb, soften into stillness and release what no longer needed to be carried.

This is exactly why I love working with nature. The earth, the water and sound create something that words never quite can.

I’m so grateful to have learnt from the beautiful @ayca and burak, and I can’t wait to hold more ceremonies like this. There was something truly special about that space. 🤍

The Connection Table has been a concept I’ve been thinking about for a little while now. ✨

In a world where we feel like we’re connected with one another because we’re hyper-connected digitally, we are actually living in a time when we’ve never been more starved of human connection.

For the first time in history, loneliness is now recognised as a public health crisis. 1 in 3 people report to feeling chronic loneliness. And a lack of social connection has been reported to carry the same mortality risk as fifteen cigarettes a day and is linked to higher rates of heart disease, stroke, dementia, anxiety and depression.

And I believe a key reason behind this epidemic of loneliness is our increasing connection to technology and our decreasing connection to ourselves. Because the truth is, you cannot meet someone else at a depth you haven’t yet met yourself.

That is what The Connection Table is here to help combat.

And what an incredible way to launch the concept at the final dinner of @innerandouterjourney_ ❤️

Still landing after @innerandouterjourney_ in Cappadocia. My heart is full.

Sunset and sunrise dances, dinners deep underground, hikes trough this magical landscape, music in caves and ancient churches, and workshops with some of the best facilitators out there, all of it helping us meet ourselves deeper. Because that is where it all begins: within. Connecting to our own inner world. Our truth. From there we move outward. Expressing ourselves. Connecting to each other and to this ancient land.

This was one for the books.

So much love to @fatihymag & @rosaaygun and the rest of the Inner and Outer crew for making this all happen!

🙏🤍

Continuation of the Sema series @innerandouterjourney_ music by @ozgurbabaji @burakmalcok @nasiri.music and many accompaniments of talented and magnificent humans who each added to the shared experience amongst the Lovers. The Sema concluded with a releasing of a dove with a beautiful share by @rosaaygun … of course, we all were drunk by the Beloved’s Love, and we wanted to play and whirl all night, but alas, the dove 🕊️ was to release, and magnificent dinner and more experiences kept us going day after day, for 5 nights.

For me, be it my eyes close and a spark inside my heart ignites a cosmic suchness in my being, holding the camera in my hand, placing it back down and whirling for a bit, and the same heart passion and devotion, lifts my hands to share the delight of my eyes, seeing Her, reflected in the beautiful worlds before me. What a blessing also, I was handed a frame drum, by dear sister and teacher, @navadance and I got to play some Persian Sufi rhythms, and for the first time played some 9/8 Turkish rhythms on the bendir Turkish frame drum. Turkiye is a special place, people, history, and events like this, at a magical land like Cappadocia, wow… Life is beautiful too! And, we heal, we inspire each other, and we return back to the world and do the work we can to inspire and create conditions of a better world, together. 🌹

The greatest tragedy isn’t that we lose ourselves. It’s that we become rewarded for it,

Rewarded for sacrificing ourselves.
Rewarded for overachieving.
Rewarded for people pleasing.
Rewarded for abandoning our truth.

Until one day our bodies ask us a question our minds cannot answer. “When did you stop listening?” Healing isn’t becoming someone new. It’s having the courage to return to who you’ve always been. A beautiful and truly emotional experience for so many in the audience after my powerful eye opening, thought provoking talk on the power of gut intuition. It truly moved the room in ways I didn’t expect 🥹Thank you @innerandouterjourney_ for such a beautiful experience, and for allowing me to witness the love, tears, breakthroughs, and transformations that unfolded during my session. Moments like these are a reminder of why I do what I do. There is nothing more meaningful than watching people reconnect with themselves and leave a little lighter than when they arrived 🤍🤍🤍

And so grateful to my incredible photographer for capturing these special moments,

Yolculuk var yoldan yola hâlden hâle
Ben var benden bana benden içre
Sen var senden bana benden sen’e
Birlik varken gönüllerdeki özde bu ayrılıklar, kavgalar niye?
Sonsuz sevgi akıyorken her ân bu benlikler kimlikler ne diye?

Dönelim döndükçe arınalım Aşk ile…🤍🌹
