Hedoné Seminar 2019

In a world where love is often confused with romantic connection, this year we want to remember the impactful summer of 1967, “The Summer of Love.” More than 50 years after this momentous event and its impact is still felt in our parents, grandparents, political movements, and so much more. This summer we remember those pioneers of love and invite you to welcome love of all kinds into your heart. Sisterly love, brotherly love, unconditional love, platonic love, romantic love, PURE love. This is our greatest calling as humans on Earth, to welcome pure love into our hearts and spread it to all we meet. Rid yourself of the shame, guilt, hate, and other low-vibration emotions and welcome in the highest vibration possible. Make a call for peace, make a stand against war, remember the valiant message sent by the lovers of 1967. This is the message and intention behind our 3rd-annual Hedoné Seminar and we encourage you to join the movement and feel the difference we can make together.

INTRODUCTION AND EDUCATION

The introductory part of the Hedoné experience is for gathering and sharing rational and emotional knowledge.

It includes intimate talks and discussions by experts on topics that aid those on the quest to free their hearts and

souls from the inhibiting constructions of society; art exhibitions and performances; and workshops that present

techniques and practices that support a loving (re)connection of the participants with a more harmonious, freer version of themselves – as well as with one another.

Program to be announced. Consult 2018 program. 

CELEBRATION AND INITIATION

The second part of the seminar is inspired by Psychomagia, and consists of a performative initiation into

an alternate reality, introducing individuals to newly acquired consciousness into practice enhancing the spirit

and the soul. People are encouraged to express themselves through a musical program, interactive performances,

guided group experiences and wellness spaces. In addition to the musical program, interactive activities, guided experiences, wellness activations and other surprises will be taking place.

Program to be announced. Consult 2018 program. 

ATTIRE 

The ambience of the celebration is inspired by the poem “De Rerum Natura”, an ode to ethical hedonism. Elements that symbolise the beauty of the botanical world will be the main components of the decoration and dress code. Apart from flowers, feathers, shells, etc… light colored fabrics (white, cream, beige, silver) are strongly encouraged. Body paint and bio-glitter are welcome. We also love skin! Transparency and nudity are encouraged and celebrated. We expect all participants to comply with the dress code in order to maintain our enchanted atmosphere and co-create a living painting - mass performance against Female Genital Mutilation, bringing life to the expression “Don’t cut the Flower!”. Please review our Pinterest for inspiration.
