My Name is Heinz Zinke “son of mother earth” My journey began 50 Years ago, when I realized that our Society and Culture is not meeting my needs and can’t answer my Questions. For over 30 Years I have been working as a Trainer, Mentor, Transformation Coach and Facilitator of Educations for new ways of Working with Clients. I support my World Wanderers to live a self sustained, healthy and happy Life! In my Quest of finding the answers I needed, I came in contact with various Indigenous Cultures and their Wisdom, Elders and Medicine. I also finished many Educations on different Fields. But still I couldn’t find the answers I was looking for. In my Vision finding ceremonies in the Alps of Austria, the spirits of the mountains shared their ancient stories with me that reach beyond the beginnings of humankind. Whilst telling those stories, many people with diverse cultural backgrounds shared with me that this wisdom is very similar to the records of their traditions and ancestors. So what I received is transcultural and is from the same origin as the ones from the indigenous traditions. At the Cosmic Portal Festival I will share my medicine and some of those stories. Welcome to the "European Earth People Movement"

Born in Mexico, Ricardo Cervantes Leon grew up in San Sebastian Xolalpa community, just a few meters away from the pyramids of Teotihuacan under the care of his father Mr. Ricardo Cervantes Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli. He shared with his brother Quetzalcoatl the knowledge of the Toltec tradition, especially the magic movements of the dance. He holds a B.A in Tourism Management by La Salle University in Cancun where he volunteered in the communities of Tulum, Valladolid, Bakalar and Carillo Puerto learning from the Maya brothers this part of millenary culture.

Daniel from Bavaria has lived in Vienna for 13 years and is known as a dance enthusiast, artist and masseur in the Austrian alternative scene. His need for diversity extends to Kungfu Qi Gong, closeness to nature, various spiritual paths and also leading chanting circles. He has been giving workshops on free dancing for 10 years. From 2017 to 2020 he led the dance introductions for Ecstatic Dance Vienna and now he gives 8-week advanced courses. Daniel's philosophy is that the freedom of dancing has as much potential as life itself! So it wants to be learned with joy! It only begins with the mutual agreement that we want to develop in the direction of freedom! Daniel builds different insights and principles step by step so that the group becomes aware of their own freedoms. Freedom expands through the conscious expansion of polarities: How slow and fast, hard and soft, but also by deepening devotion and presence in devotion! Having freedom in all joints, cultivating the physical plane, and to expand freedom in dealing with conscious sending of kinetic energy. The freedom to feel comfortable standing and walking and “dancing with yourself” and “dancing with each other”. Through all of these processes, Daniel's open space provides for a great diversity and consciously open freedom of energetic communication on the dance floor.

A little bit about Florence Ménard Cuepaliztli In 2013, Florence co-founded The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art with her husband Laurence Caruana. Inspired by the Visionary artists around her, she began painting at the age of 41 and has never looked back, enthusiastically exploring her inner world of visions while honing her craft with each painting. While living in Vienna, she began her initiation into Inner Journeying with Kevin Campeau and Roel Crabbé. After years of journeying on her own, she started guiding the students of The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art on inner journeys, visualizations, and meditations on their paintings, accompanied by shamanic drumming and other instruments for sound healing. In 2018 Florence felt the call to participate in the Moondance in Austria (www.moondanceaustria.com), a spiritual ceremony where, for four nights, over 200 women fast, participate in sweatlodges, dance under the full moon and sing sacred songs while dressed in their traditional white robes. This ceremony is a prayer for our Mother Earth, for Peace, for the Four Elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water, for our Ancestors and for the Spirit Guardians of the Seven Directions. At the 2021 Moondance, Florence received her spiritual name: CUEPALIZTLI, meaning “Transformation.” She’s now part of the Cantos group of the Moondance, singing with her prayers with her Moondance sisters at the rhythm of the Huehuetl, the ceremonial drum.

Painting with the Inner Eye. Born in Moscow in 1987, I came to Germany at the age of three and have mostly lived in southern Germany. Since 2011, I have been working as a freelance graphic designer, artist, and photographer. Since 2018, I have participated in various workshops led by Alex and Allyson Grey and Amanda Sage. Art, for me, is a spiritual ritual where I consciously connect with the muse that lies dormant within every person. Painting is like a link between the visible and invisible worlds. We are uniquely and completely individual expressions of a mysterious intelligence from birth. I call this intelligence the divine consciousness or spirit, or the divine source that every person carries within themselves and is. We can choose to be guided by this intelligence within us and bring our lives to flourish. Because we have never left paradise. Painting is a way to connect with this inner source. For me, art is the most beautiful way to get to know myself and arrive on my own path. The process of painting is a journey and an encounter with the unknown and mystical every time. I paint what I see with the inner eye and share these perspectives with people who resonate with them.
