 Bun venit, 2022! Anunț cu mare drag că voi începe din nou să ofer o terapie tare dragă mie: Scăldătoare de sunete sacre!! Mai precis, concert terapeutic cu bolurile cântătoare din quartz cristal. De 7 ani practic acest leac vibrațional cu cele 8 boluri care formează o octavă completă, la centrul meu turistic holistic Vatra in "camera vindecătoare" sus în mansardă. Nu ați auzit despre aceste boluri? Citiți mai jos toate detalile despre cum funcționează și beneficile lor asupra sănătații umane.  Bolurile cântătoare din quartz cristal sunt renumite pentru capacitatea de a induce stări extinse de conștiință, de înaltă productivitate, creativitate, meditație, relaxare profundă și vindecare. Combinarea frecvențelor individuale ale bolurilor produce o rezonanță pătrunzătoare care străbate toate straturile vibraționale ale ființei, de la cel corporal, la cel mental și spiritual. Creierul reacționează pozitiv la aceste frecvențe, activând mecanismele de auto-vindecare existente în corp și promovând o stare generală de bine. Astfel, participanții accesează o stare de echilibru energetic și conștiință înaltă, într-o atmosferă de calm, claritate si creativitate. 7 BENEFICII ale terapiei cu boluri cântătoare din quartz: - reducerea stresului prin relaxare profundă și secreția de endorfine - eliberarea emoțională de traume și blocaje inconștiente - activarea în profunzime a meridianelor energetice - armonizarea sistemului energetic - activarea mecanismelor de auto-vindecare și de detoxifiere intra-celulară ale corpului - îmbunătățirea calității somnului - ameliorarea durerilor de cap, oboselii cronice, problemelor digestive, durerilor musculare - accelerarea intenților Despre Sesiune Sesiunea se desfășoară fără pantofi, pe perne sau direct pe mochetă, întinși sau în poziția de șezut cu spatele drept sau rezămat de un perete. Puteți aduce o păturică sau izopren dar nu este necesar. Călătoria sonoră va dura in jur de jumătate de oră dar asta depinde de intențile și nevoile specifice a persoanei/grupului. La sfârșit veți fi serviți cu apă căci este indicată hidratarea dupa această terapie profundă și gentilă. Programările se fac telefonic și cu minim 2 zile înainte să știți că veniți în zonă. In perioada sezonului turistic de vară, sugerez să mă contactați cu minim o săptămână în avans pentru a asigura că voi avea spațiu. Puteți rezerva sesiune privată sau pentru un grup întreg. Experiența în grup este magnifică! Vă aștept cu mare drag. Până atunci, drumuri line.

Pe parcursul acestui sezon, am introdus in magazim produse noi. Continuam sa cream relatii frumoase cu artisti si colaboratori creativi si care renasc anumite simboluri sau practici traditionale. Pregatim colaborari noi cu artisti traditionali autentici pentru sezonul 2021. Pas cu pas, dezvoltam gama de suveniruri de calitate oferite la centrul turistic holistic Vatra, pe drumul spre Sarmizegetusa Regia, magazinul unde gasesti la un loc calduros si frumos cadouri si resurse despre cultura dacica si produse pentru sanatatea trup-minte-suflet. Va asteptam cu mare drag in continuare...si sa expandam selectia cu ce e mai bun! Aveti sugestii de colaborare sau idei pentru suveniruri noi?
Nu ezitati sa ne scrieti la: healinghearthvv@gmail.com Timp de citire: 13 minute Cu mare drag, hai să vă povestesc despre ce și cum am celebrat la Vatra, in partenariat cu Asociația Societatea Viziunea și Andra Vișan {Mayan Galactic Dreamspell Decoding} și Alex {Symbiotique Foods}, și impreuna cu toți cei dragi care sau alăturat, această perioadă interesantă al anului pentru "noi" care urmăm ciclurile naturale al Timpului. Desigur veți afla multe minunății deci citiți pana la sfarșit...  Pe 25 Iulie se celebrează în intreaga lume ZIUA ÎN AFARA TIMPULUI- CELEBRAREA PACII PRIN ARTA. Această zi este ultima zi din ciclul de 13 luni al calendarului sacru al mayasilor, civilizația despre care desigur ați auzit prin 2012 despre faptul ca ei deținiau un sistem elaborat de navigarea ciclurilor "timpului natural" care sincronizează întreaga galaxie, si in microcosm, asează viețile noastre.
ARTA este exprimarea armoniei între om și el însuși, a armoniei cu planeta și cu semenii! Cu toții suntem artiști al propriei vieți! Arta nu este “ce”, ci “cum” facem un anumit lucru! Iar CULTURA este cea ce creăm împreună și cea ce are funcția de a ne informa și inspira în a trăii valorile universale cele mai înalte și frumoase. Toată lumea contribuie la contextul cultural local și global, deși nu prea mai suntem educați să percepem acest adavar, adică că fiecare are puterea de a transforma direcția culturii. Deci in această zi, ca niciodată, am celebrat armonia umană și pacea prin artă. Am ieșit din cotidian, am eliberat imaginația și am celebrat viața noastră ca expresie creativă...prin anumite activitati organizate pe principiul educației non-formale:  Colaboratorii nostri:

Having been lucky enough to travel back to Romania many times and to explore many European cities during those journey’s layovers, the travel spark ignited not only my preoccupation with exploring large horizons of thought, but the love for my Romanian heritage. This country truly is like the Garden of Eden.
Indeed, I am well-traveled and thus experienced in the receiving-end of tourism services. This engenders in me many cross-cultural competencies and a natural inclination for hospitality; I am receptive to diverse peoples’ needs, I can communicate in many languages while embodying professionalism and
passion for offering quality services and Romanian-made souvenirs to my customers (many of whom are recurrent clients).
Plus, I consider myself a community-engaged healing artist!
What is that??

COMMUNITY ARTIST STATEMENT
I am primarily a human being thus a visionary; secondly, a peace-maker as community-engaged artist.
I have been preoccupied with understanding the commonality between all contexts of struggle in this world throughout history: political, economic, social, religious, as well as spiritual issues within the individual Self.
Motivation has come from uncovering the underlying connection between the suppression of individual power and the repeated domination over peoples and land. My definition of authentic power is the ability to harness total consciousness in the governance of one’s own life, for the purpose of discovering one’s meaning and sharing one's unique contributions to create harmony within the Self as well as the whole.
On the global stage, we are living an electrifying moment in history. As we emerge from the dysfunctional ego-centered paradigm- that has conditioned humanity for thousands of years and which has naturally culminated,- the mass consciousness is elevating. Individuals are releasing their inherited out-dated belief systems. We are all relearning to master self-awareness and personal responsibility for the purpose of co-creating our future.
Victor Hugo acknowledged that, “Greater than the force of mighty armies, is the power of an idea whose time has come”. The idea of a radical human transcendence has arrived and its force is unstoppable.
A deep-seated urge propels me to inspire others to find their power as this is the key to actualising a sustainable future.
Art, specifically theater, changed my life for it taught me to live in the moment, to listen to my instincts, to celebrate my originality and that of others, and to share my highest visions freely.
At the heart of social change lies the change within one's Self for we are all merely actors upon this stage. Art can and will earnestly change the world for we are free when we create from the heart. My own life is a manifestation of this utopian ideal as I have discovered my power and alchemized my dream seeds.
My travels around the world, passion for theater, a bachelor degree in philosophy, as well as study/practice of Eastern spiritual traditions and contemporary Integral Philosophy, have had a profound influence on my quest.
The emerging Community Arts field is at the forefront of this transition period. I am primarily interested in collective trauma healing and transformational theatre practices such as Boal’s Theater of the Oppressed and Jodorowsky’s Psychomagic. These modalities instigate contemplation about deep-seated emotions and inherited belief systems, and lead to the subsequent transcendence over them. Of particular interest to me is the facilitation of workshops geared towards community-engaged artists and other leaders of sustainable cultural production, to strengthen our collective ability to inspire widespread change.
I am also interested in writing/directing/producing and facilitating the communal creation of radical theater and performance art, to bring theater’s celebratory, ritualistic and healing potential of covert collective demechanization, into the public realm.
A complimentary interest lies in the healing arts. Various forms of energy healing modalities are conducive to the release of stagnating energy that hinder one from engaging life in fullest potential. Healing arts can be taught in an artistic, participatory manner and with the purpose of enabling participants to pass on these effective techniques.
Each individual is a work of art. I approach myself in this way as I strive to embody the power and joy of leading an authentic, creative life. Ultimately, the best form of art that anyone can offer is Thine Own Self. I humbly transmit this energy to all around me and hope to inspire you to believe in your own ability to create yourself in your highest good. The future cries out for this.

The plot thickens...
Business woes and bureaucratic learning galore,
since the Vision is grander than I could have wished for.
Here's an inspirational nudge based on how I have been maintaining a positive mindset amidst the trials & tribulations encountered thus far during the Vatra business "expedition" in Romania.

Somewhere in between the Eras of Leo & Aquarius, there's a field;
I'll meet you there...
...and conduct good business with you!
"Epoca in care traim este bolnava din cauza lipsei generalizate de semnificatii, generata de uitarea sursei din care am izvorat cu totii...
Daca vom recrea in mod constient aceasta relatie, inclusiv prin incarcarea lucrurilor materiale cu puterea creatoare universala, pamantul material se va uni din nou cu sursa spirituala a vietii. Vom contribui astefel la nasterea mai accelerata a Erei Varsatorului, minimizand durerile inerente oricarei nasteri."
{cartea Tao al Banilor, "Munca privita ca o activitate semnificativa si aducatoare de satisfactie."}
ENGLISH Summary:
We have forgotten the Source from whence all comes and in general, we are at a loss of true sense along our way; thus we are ill within this current Era of life on Earth....
We can consciously rebuild our connection to Source by infusing the material world with the Universal Force of Creation thus unifying once more the material plane with spiritual Source. In this way, we are contributing to the accelerated birth of the Age of Aquarius, minimizing as much as possible the inherent pain associated with any birthing process.
MONEY is a POWER TOOL
The infamous subject of MONEY and the deep-seated belief that Money is evil must be addressed!
Money is inherently neutral; it can be utilized for either acts of Good or Evil (moral definitions/implications need not be discussed here).
The Human application of the power of Money is to be weighed and the reasoning contemplated because money is but a powerful Tool and how we choose to wield it is up to each one of us.
We were never taught about its magical powers, let alone our own powers of creation, so let us understand and have compassion for the state of the world, and for our own economic realities.
Right NOW, tomorrow and moving forward along your path, you are capable of empowering yourself through your relationship with Money!
It is virtually inescapable, even if you base your life on gift economy practices and consume very little from the commercial realms. Why run away from it and detest it? I understand that the global subcultures of the world are in the process of heavily negating this tool, and exploring alternate means of exchanging goods & services. In this way, they are cycling back to a means of exchange that was practiced centuries ago in all cultures of the world: Barter/Trade. Thank you, system-busters; you are very much needed on Earth at this time and I was once just like you!
However, the Spiritual infusion of the dense Material world is taking place in a most potent, direct and efficient manner through the medium of Money and Business creation! Somehow, I ended up in this dimension...
A Monetary Transaction can become a powerful medium for the Transference of Light

I know, it's not so easy!!
So much can be said about money troubles, its origins, how our Beliefs surrounding money perpetuate unwanted economic situations as well as great successes, etc. We could each write a book about what our interaction with Money has taught us, or read someone else's book.
What I have learned and what I practice, in a nut-shell:
How I earn and manage my money demonstrates, to a great extent, how I process and manage the Universal Life Force energy. It had been futile and arrogant of me in the past to disrespect, ignore and underestimate the lessons that this medium for education was offering me. Once I accepted that I had to learn to work WITH the system of money, my life began to change in all domains because I was accepting my personal role of processing Spirit and bringing it deep down into Matter. It has been a painful, grueling process to mine the tunnels of the Monetary Mazes swirling all around us, especially here in Romania. The energies impregnated in Money are tricky to handle. But, someone has got to do this work! Remember, even the most sacred offerings out there are self-sustainable ecosystems based on exchange of value, usually in the form of money.
How else was I to incarnate my vision into form without this sacred tool of Money?
More on this topic another time; I have to get back to my business transactions and to ensure the ship sails safely onward into the Sunset of Success!
INVOCATIE CALAUZITOARE:
"Ma rog pentru capacitatea de a intelege si de a schimba toti factorii care mi-au rapit bucuria de a muncii, astfel incat atat eu si celelalte personae implicate in munca mea sa ne simtim impliniti si satisfacuti.
Ma rog pentru puterea de ma detasa de toate acele situatii de la locul de munca pe care nu le pot schimba intr-o maniera pozitiva. In schimb, doresc sa ma bucur plenar de situatile care imi aduc impliniri si fericire.
Ma rog pentru intelepciunea de a folosi asa cum trebuie aceste oportunitati."
"Mi-am facut bine munca si ii multumesc Creatorului pentru aceasta putere de a muncii."
{cartea Tao al Banilor, "Munca privita ca o activitate semnificativa si aducatoare de satisfactie."}
Invocation ENGLISH SUMMARY:
I pray for the capacity to understand and to transform any factors that have sucked away my joy of working, so that I and anyone involved in my work shall rediscover fulfillment and satisfaction.
I pray for the power to detach from any situations at work which I cannot transform positively. Instead, I fully relish the situations that bring me satisfaction and joy.
I pray for the wisdom to utilize these opportunities for my highest Good.
I have completed my work in a good way, and I thank Creator for the power to work.
Aho.
| You can walk upon the sacred road of Money, cleansing and uplifting this Tool along the way, whilst creating the life of your dreams, which offers abundant harmonious gifts to all who cross your path. |  |
 | Have Faith in your Spiritual journey, envision onward, decide to walk deeper into matter, use the Tool wisely & honestly, remain detached from the seduction of success, balance the Fire & Water, enjoy your service on Earth.... Collaborate Creatively |

Ziua porților deschise...Sarmizegetusa Regia și-a dezvăluit oficial rădăcinile, la 9 septembrie.
9/11/2017
Toți ochii sunt ațintiți asupra perspectivei ca săpăturile să conducă la una din cele mai însemnate descoperiri arheologice din lume!
Ar putea părea o știre nesemnificativă, dar gândiți-vă că acest lăcaș, care a fost centrul administrativ și spiritual al Daciei antice, nu a fost excavat decât în proporție de 5% din suprafața bănuită, cu ultimele săpături făcute acum multi ani. Fiți siguri că dacă arheologii ar scoate la iveala noutăți din Egipt, Mexic sau Peru, întreg globul ar ajunge să fie la curent. Mă bazez pe convingerea că în epoca noastră civilizațiile antice interesează întreaga comunitate a lumii. In cazul de față e vorba de capitala unei civilizații numeroase și puternice a Europei pre-antice, pe cale să ni se dezvăluie mai temeinic. Excavațiile vizează părți care au fost identificate deja din 1989. Există un interes crescând pentru civilizația Dacică, manifestată de vizitatori Români dar și veniți din alte părți ale lumii, care practic inundă zona, pentru a vedea cu propriii lor ochi trofeele scoase la iveală. Cineaști și istorici străini și-au arătat , în operele lor, interesul lor crescând pentru istoria dacilor. M-am convins de importanța Sarmizegetusei pentru români, discutând pe larg cu vizitatorii centrului nostru turistic, Vatra. E un aspect care ar merita un post separat, dar voi aminti puțin despre el și către sfârșitul acestui articol.
In acest articol povestesc impresii din vizita mea la faimosul sit arheologic dac, din 9 septembrie, cu ocazia Zilei Porților Deschise, un efort coordonat al Universității Babeș-Bolyai din Cluj, Muzeului Național de Istorie a Transilvaniei din Cluj, Muzeului Civilizației Dacice și Romane din Deva și a Serviciului Public de Administrare a Monumentelor Istorice din Deva. Proiectul de cercetare este finanțat de Ministerul Culturii și Identității Naționale și de Consiliul Județean Hunedoara.
Urcând la șantierul arheologic am reușit să văd cu propriii mei ochi descoperirile recente. Am visat despre excavații de când m-am stabilit pe aceste locuri în urmă cu 21 de luni. Aura misterioasă care înconjura acest pământ s-a materializat de data asta într-o apropiere vie față de pământul ancestral. Am făcut parte din primul tur al zilei, care a fost ghidat de doctoranzii arheologi din Cluj, care lucrează pe acest șantier. M-a impresionat profesionalismul lor și amabilitatea cu care și-au împărtășit cunoștințele.

M-a impresionat profesionalismul lor și amabilitatea cu care și-au împărtășit cunoștințele.
Iată, mai jos, ce s-a descoperit recent, preluând cuvintele din broșura oficială:
“In anul 2017, cercetările arheologice desfășurate la Sarmizegetusa Regia au inclus terasa IX-a, aflata in zona centrala a capitalei dacice. Intre rezultatele obținute pana in momentul de fata se numără identificarea unui nou segment al aleii pavate (o ramificație a drumului care asigura accesul dinspre fortificație spre zona sacra) si a unui nou edificiu cu elemente din calcar. Se adaugă descoperirea a numeroase artefacte, precum fragmente ceramice, inclusiv de la vase pictate cu motive geometrice si zoomorfe, piese din fier, sticla, etc.
Campaniile arheologice viitoare vor avea intre obiectivele lor stabilirea planului complet al construcției amintite, urmând ca după masurile de conservare/restaurare ea sa fie introdusă in traseul de vizitare.”

Am învățat că munca arheologului cere răbdare, un atribut specific tehnicii meticuloase de excavare. Multă lume nu înțelege faptul că elucidarea elementelor istorice cere salvarea tuturor detaliilor esențiale, pentru că numai așa se poate înțelege mai bine contextul, întreaga poveste. Menționez acest lucru pentru că mulți turiști s-au plâns frustrați de încetineala cu care se scot la lumină misterele Sarmizegetusei! Tuturor le spun, fiți pacienți. Adevărul va fi scos la lumină la momentul potrivit.
Una din poveștile inedite care se conturează ar demonstra că Sarmizegetusa a găzduit cel mai mare atelier de fierărie, comparabil cu cele din toate cetățile și așezările dacice, luate la un loc, pe baza fragmentelor de fier găsite aici. Pe de altă parte, fragmentele de sticlă și uneltele de prelucrare a sticlei găsite anterior arată că aici a funcționat și un atelier de pre-producție a sticlei. (De obicei, în acele timpuri, sticla era mai întâi pre-fabricată, ca apoi să fie trimisă la studiouri de finisare din Grecia, sau alte locuri, astfel că atelierul din Sarmizegetusa era dedicat, cel mai probabil, unei pre-producții.)

Arheologii m-au făcut să văd și să înțeleg intricatul sistem de stratificare a solului prin care dacii au consolidat terase pe culmile dealurilor. Am mai învățat că stilul blocurilor de piatră din construcții a fost inspirat puternic de arhitectura greacă, elenistică. Oare Burebista, în incursiunile sale din jurul Mării Negre a recrutat arhitecți din Histria, ca să îl ajute la construcțiile sale? Ori, poate, grecii au fost cei influențați de către daci? E posibil ca între cele două civilizații să fi avut loc o fuziune de idei.
Au fost mult mai multe aspecte arheologice discutate, care depășesc volumul care sunt în stare să îl reproduc. Valoarea turului rămâne, însă, limpede pentru mine. Am apreciat pietrele și pozițiile lor într-o manieră în care nu am reușit să o fac până acum, și pentru aceasta mă simt recunoscătoare.

Nu am manifestat niciodată un interes anume pentru aspectele arheologice ale acestui sit antic, și asta probabil numai pentru că nu am avut ocazia să fiu instruită în acest fel. Interesul meu pentru acest pământ continuă să își tragă seva și din alte planuri, sacre, dar respect adânc și apreciez perspectiva științifică și munca depusă aici. Sunt convinsă că toți vizitatorii au apreciat dedicația și entuziasmul gazdelor. Admit cu sinceritate că am învățat multe și că mă simt mai legată de acest pământ după această experiență nouă. Reiese beneficiul ghidării de la persoană la persoană, având ca ghid chiar un arheolog specializat în Sarmizegetusa Regia.
Transmit cu bucurie vestea că proiectul actual de excavare va dura 3-4 ani și că în fiecare an artefactele nou descoperite vor fi expuse (urmează să aflăm când și în care muzeu).

Sunt bucuroasă și inspirată de atenția care începe să fie dirijată înspre valorile capitalei dacice. Se cuvine să arătăm respect și să onorăm pământului strămoșesc.
În studiile mele legate de culturile indigene ale Americii de Nord am constatat efortul care se face pentru conservarea identității acestora. Înțelegerea și onorarea rădăcinilor noastre contribuie la întărirea moralului acelora dintre noi care prețuiesc moștenirea noastră nativă. Ceea ce aflu în mod constant de la turiștii români este dorința și nevoia lor aproape disperată de a cunoaște istoria lor adevărată. Tocmai din acest motiv, unii dintre ei revin aici an de an. Aceasta mă convinge că oricât pământ ar acoperi relicvele trecutului, sentimentul oamenilor față de pământul străbun, față de înaintașii lor, nu poate fi suprimat. (Acest lucru nu are de-a face cu naționalismul, ci cu subtilul domeniu al spiritualului. Ar fi înțelept să ne apropiem, studiem și respectăm această perspectivă, dacă nu pentru altceva, atunci doar pentru beneficiile psihico-emoționale pe care ni le aduce). Sunt convinsă că lumea ne felicită pentru această înclinație.
Este important pentru viitor ca descoperirile să fie documentate si făcute cunoscute în mod eficient. Pledez pentru idea ca propagarea lor să fie făcută pe viu, repetând ceea ce ni s-a oferit astăzi, prin Ziua Porților Deschise. În felul acesta, istoria poporului va fi restituită poporului.
Stimați arheologi, continuați-vă munca cu transparență și cinste. Aceste excavații ar putea reprezenta începutul frumos al scoaterii la Lumină a istoriei noastre.
Va multumesc pentru citirea perspectivei mele de pana acum despre ce se desfasoare sus la capitala Daciei. Sper sa fie de folos. Trimiteti mai departe daca doriti...
Iar pe pagina de Facebook si pe acest website, puteti urmarii in continuare noutatile care se vor petrece prin zona si la Vatra Centru Turistic.

>RO< Deodata cu inceperea primaverii, ni-sa facut un interviu de la jurnalisti de la canalul Antena1.
Au produs un documentar de 5 minute durata despre noi pe care il puteti vdea la linkul de mai jos. Va trebuii sa faceti sign-in in contul de Facebook pentru a vizualiza clipul.
Doar sa stiti, noi nu am folosit cuvantul "shaman" sa descriem genul de serviciu pe care Stephen il ofera. Se pare ca acest termen este comun si folosit in general in romania pentru a intelege stilul de munca alui Stephen.
Vizionare placuta...
>ENG< This spring, we were interviewed by Antena1 News Channel; they made a 5-minute documentary about us. Check it out at the link below. You will need to sign in to Facebook in order to view this clip. FYI, we didn't use the term 'shaman' to describe Stephen's work. It seems to be a general term used in Romania to refer to this type of service work. Enjoy!

Apoi, am gasit povestea in Replica!
Then, we saw the story printed in this newspaper!

"Final and complete healing will come from and within the Soul itself."
Dr. Edward Bach
(1886-1936)
Dr. Edward Bach
(1886-1936)
Two drops from a bottled tincture of a plant, and I come into harmony with my Soul. "How can this be? So simple and pure," the mind asks...
Well, the Soul knows why and how this is possible; we've just forgotten. The truth about healing oneself during this human journey is indeed, and always has been, based on simple and effective principles & practices. I, and most likely you who is reading this post on our site, have searched/studies/practiced far and wide within thyself as well as outside in the realms of human development & holistic therapies. I now return to study and certify in the simple system of healing that was discovered by an English doctor who left to the side standard medical practice in order to explore and develop a system & practice available to anyone. His name was Dr. Edward Bach and he lived in the first part of the 20th century.
Take a deep breathe now, and imagine the magnificently diverse colours and textures of FLOWERS that blossom from wild plants and trees: 38 to be exact. Imagine that each one embodies a unique personality and offers a unique quality of the beauty in Life. Remember now that you and all of us humans are intrinsically one with all these flowers because we live and breathe upon the same ecosystem of Earth.
Hmmm, perhaps this vision is too sappy or childish for indeed, it may be too difficult at this point of materialistic/technological distraction to come back into resonance with this simplicity. I believe you can and I know you know, deep down inside. Come now: You can gently entertain the idea that these flowers perhaps are here for a reason. What if they rebirth themselves each yearly cycle so that we humans may take from their bounty just enough so that we may remember the essence of our common nature, and to assist us on our journey to our home Within.
This source of healing is nothing new; merely all ancient civilizations knew about and worked with the plant kingdom. Many historical references refer to the Dacians themselves having used plants in their medicinal practices.
This is the 'magical' yet molecular path into wholeness that is offered by 38 key plant essences that are ingested in the form of tinctures.

I studied courses Level 1 & 2 of the official Bach Center Foundation, in Bucharest. I also use them myself.
During your visit at Vatra, I am more than glad to assist you in choosing your needed remedy, as well as to conduct a consultation with you and prepare a 3-week mixture.

What is it like to open up a holistic touristic business in a village
in the middle of Romania?
in the middle of Romania?
What a successful first year we have experienced opening our little holistic center & natural health souvenir shop in this touristic UNESCO region!
We’ve been spending these first months of autumn returning inward, creating the time to reflect on what has been created through us during the past winter, spring and summer months. Here is a recapitulation and deeper dive into how we got here and what we are creating at Vatra. Please enjoy the pictures and the raw truths we are sharing beyond our private space. Thanks ahead for reading the story and for your support of our work thus far...
We just passed the 1 year mark in late October since we first stepped foot in the Sarmizegetusa mountains! Last autumn we were guided to come visit the long-awaited kingdom of my ancestors, the Dacians. We lodged at Popasul Dacilor up in Gradistea de Munte village, the last lodging facility, closest to the top of the kingdom ruins. The paved road was still being constructed; it was raining and muddy the day we decided to quest up the remaining 8km. We were the only ones at the site. It felt like we had finally reached a spot on our journey; but the awareness of this was wordless. We simply enjoyed the fresh air, majestic view, and stood in wonderment at these ancient monuments, allowing the mystery to unravel in its own time.
It was not an easy time spent in this region for 3 days. An important decompression period ensued as we began to release the previous part of our journey from Canada and New York, and the myriad of expansions experienced living with my grandmother in Cluj. Indeed, we started to realize that what people say about this region may be true after all: a deep healing energy exists here.

Ah ha, one day, we drove down to the Popasul Dacilor local store and it is then that we noticed the For Sale sign hanging on a large grey unfinished house. Hmmmm, we both thought, “ I’ll just call to find out how much they are asking. Just curious” But we both knew that this urge came accompanied with a calm voice saying, “Yes, you will live here. This shall be your sacred home.” The rest is history...
Create the Space while Holding Space
The theme of our Vatra Project became clear from the very beginning that it would be “Build the Body”. Yes, we built, rebuilt and constructed very many parts and aspects of this house. The majority of our resources and energy went into building the physical space. “Build it and they will come”. This was not an easy process. We were new in the area. Back then my Romanian accent was far more noticeable and I was shy and anxious during the entire process. I was constantly being shown my weaknesses and bad habits, my inconsistencies and deep fears. I hear that most business entrepreneurs experience this phase at the beginning so I accepted it is as part of the process. Looking back, I really had to push myself and, Stephen supported me incessantly, to move through my fears and blocks, and the remaining residue of post traumatic stress. I just had to push on through all these uncomfortable experiences because I knew that building this space was my personal healing art that would lead to my rebirth.
All this while, Stephen held space as we built the Vatra space. This building was ultimately for no other goal but for my own process; just to complete a vision that I had been carrying for so long. Stephen held a similar vision, too. Secondly, we built the space for the business- the natural health & souvenir shop. This being the portion that sustains our livelihood. Thirdly, we have an understanding that Vatra was built not entirely by us, but that the elements and the lands wanted this sacred space built here. We are merely the channels through which the transformative energies work through in order to showcase an approach to health & vitality, spirituality, ancestral portals, and beautiful/useful souvenirs.
We have been placed into this position to share our experiences and knowledge, and to offer healthy and inspiring products so that once visitors leave this beautiful area, they can bring home a 'souvenir' that will embody the inspiring experience they have had here.
Much has been learned from the people that stopped by: what they need, what they like, how the collective consciousness is stirring its questions and answers, how people are looking to grow and nurture themselves, and what challenges might arise. We painted, coordinated renovations, employed local artists, arranged and re-arranged the shelves, products and art works, and became comfortable punching in the register and sharing information.
We also hosted a successful event, as well as a client from abroad, and made good new friends & collaborators in our region!
Vatra is a project who rests upon a trinity foundation; a physical holistic center that has arisen into being only through the hard work that we have both undertaken within our own inner spaces.

Here we are now gratefully going with the flow of the Northern Hemisphere’s cycle phase. Autumn time is a beautiful opportunity and natural movement towards reflection and inner listening, and of clearing out what does not serve this process (bad habits, beliefs, ideas that didn’t pan out, clutter). Nature is dying now, preparing for deep rest in the cold winter. The goal for us is to prepare our inner landscapes as well as our house and food provisions for the coming winter months.
We’ve realized from living in nature these past 11 months how potently challenging and strengthening it is to encounter the elements all the time. The fresh, purely scented air we breathe and that fills our home; the underground water that travels 60 meters up into our purification system and then into our house and bodies; the land of which we have learned so much about stewarding through mowing, planting, weeding, seeding and merely observing; and of course the element of fire which fuels the heart of our hearth by melding sustainable wood bricks & air, and infusing our home with not only heat but with courage, faith, and patience to transform. By working with these elements constantly (or are they working with us?), we come to acknowledge ever more the Ether that presides within all that we do, think and feel; the Divine Spirit that flows through our being-ness and that guides us forward through this cyclical school called life.

Nurture the Temple
The outer space of Vatra now reflects the inner work of clarity and commitment that is cultivating inside of our perceptions. We are now spending most of our time exercising and feeding well our physical bodies. We quit coffee, white bread & pastries, and sugar! {This was and continues to be tough} We juice catina berries (Seabuckthorn) and have it with raw honey every morning. We practice Sivananda Yoga and the Dragon’s Way Wu Dance, among other practices that we have learned/practiced along the way. Simple things.
Evaluating and reflecting upon our health state is also important at this time; it’s a great time to tweak out any inconsistencies and to go on a fast or detox. We do this in order to continue strengthening our Body- our only true Temple- so that our minds can be clearer to withstand future shifts and challenges, in preparation for the year ahead. It is here that we discover Devotion that transcends the mundane plane though our daily tasks are extremely mundane!
We rediscover that we can descend (into the physical) in order to ascend (spiritually). The mind being the swinging pendulum. The ‘I’ merely observes the pendulum as the daily tasks are accomplished.

How will you commit to Nature this season?
We are so very grateful and humbled that we can experience the simple life and the journey of learning to live it! It is definitely a process to get there having grown up in cities all our lives. But, we realize that we all have an innate connection and remembrance of being in tune with Nature and it can activate if you desire it to. If you long to reconnect to the natural elements, there are many ways you can do this, even while living in the city. Make an effort and intend to bring in more nature into your life. Go plant shopping and choose the one that calls out to you; begin to attune yourself to the plant and realize it embodies the same Life Force that swims through you. Get to know it as you care for it. The best is to practice aligning your body into a healthier lifestyle, and the reunion with the elements will manifest within you. You can also commit to going on nature hikes in a local park or better yet, in the country side, or come visit us at Vatra in Romania! {Check back for more details about what we can usher you into while in Romania. We are very excited to share the natural healing gifts that these lands have to offer}
However you choose to reconnect to Nature on a deeper level, remember that the benefits of doing so go beyond physical and mental well-being. Nature ushers you back to your ‘natural self’- the inner hearth. Living consciously from this place can build up your Energetic Body very quickly and THIS feeds your Spirit.

Stay tuned for fresh YouTube videos & Blog posts,
as well as updates on the website!!
From the depth of our Being of love & darkness, we remind you we are your fellow journeyers to the nurturing warmth of the Hearth Within.
We wish you "spor" (equivalent of “rock on!” in English) with tuning up your body this season, cultivating your inner landscape, and remaining free from the external chaos. You can do it!
Vatra hearth keepers,
Teodora & Stephen

Am inchis sediul pentru acest sezon!
Ne bucuram de succesul imens pe care l-am avut in primul an de functionare a centrului de vindecare holistica!
In magazinul naturist al Vatrei, ne -am bucurat sa putem oferi produse de inalta calitate, cele mai multe produse fiind romanesti. Turistii diversi si localnicii (vecini cu noi) au apreciat foarte mult ceea ce oferim ca ‘super suvenir’ in zona asta binecuvantata si cu o istorie atat de veche si bogata.
Am vorbit cu multi oameni si le-am transmis ceea ce intelegem noi prin mod de viata armonios ,cu produse sanatoase si de inalta vibratie. Am invatat si noi foarte multe de la ei: ce le place oamenilor locului , ce-si doresc cei care vin de pe alte meleaguri, in vizita.
Va multumim frumos ca ati colaborat cu noi si ca ne-ati oferit produse de calitate. Urmeaza sa va contactam primavara viitoare, prin luna aprilie, pentru a comanda produse pentru anul 2017.
Spor in toate!

Alas, the stage is set for Vatra to host the first official retreat, just in time for Summer Solstice & the folkloric Sanziene celebrations. This event is in association with Trinity Movement; our #1 supporters and fellow awakening Dacians. Their organization is based in Cluj. Check out their website below for more information.
Midsummer is around the corner and Stephen and I are in awe at how far we have come since we landed upon this land in January. Many trials and deep lessons we have learned; all pushing us in higher directions of growth and deep connection to these sacred lands. Torrentials rains, bursting winds of change, and increasingly hot sun rays are thickening & colouring the trees and flora that surround us in every direction.
At this time, we are feeling the potent blossoms we have nurtured within, and are preparing to come fully alive in our greatness, in order to share these magnificent portal lands with as many people as feel called to come.
In the mean time, the Vatra store is inspiring the increasing # of travelers already, with unique and quality products for health, energetic support, aesthetics, and nourishment. Most of the products are made in Romania, hand-made and organically grown. The imported products are super cool and a surprise! What a gift!....
These are the types of souvenirs that can be special useful tools for your personal awakening journey.
The Dacian kingdom awaits your exploration and inner discoveries.
Join us at this 1st retreat and/or stay tuned for upcoming invitations!

Torrentials rains, bursting winds of change, and increasingly hot sun rays are thickening & colouring the trees and flora that surround us in every direction.
At this time, we are feeling the potent blossoms we have nurtured within, and are preparing to come fully alive in our greatness, in order to share these magnificent portal lands with as many people as feel called to come.
In the mean time, the Vatra store is inspiring the increasing # of travelers already, with unique and quality products for health, energetic support, aesthetics, and nourishment. Most of the products are made in Romania, hand-made and organically grown. The imported products are super cool and a surprise! What a gift!....
These are the types of souvenirs that can be special useful tools for your personal awakening journey.
The Dacian kingdom awaits your exploration and inner discoveries.
Join us at this 1st retreat and/or stay tuned for upcoming invitations!
