What is this about?

Would you like to awaken and strengthen your desire to Live fully, rather than to be alive? Body Dearmoring can be a valuable help here.

Body Armor is a result from painful, restrictive or intimidating experiences, where we contract on a physical and cellular level as well as in our psyche. As these contractions cumulate, they start to form bands of armor inside the tissue of the body.
Within these bands of armor, we hold patterns of fear, withdrawal and avoidance, most often leading to a sensation of inadequacy and unnaturalness.

Armor restricts the free flowing of our life force, it impacts our health, vitality and sexuality, creates stress and blocks our access to our higher self and our evolution:

Evolution is based on expansion; armor keeps us in a constant state of contraction.

Body Dearmoring also known as Shamanic Dearmoring is a deeply holistic and transformative process for body and soul, which only requires two weeks (!) of your time.

What are the Benefits of Body Dearmoring, when the armor is gone?

  • More presence and connection in your life
  • Authenticity in your feelings, desires and self expression
  • Deeper access to your sexual life force
  • Freedom from unconscious patterns, which Body Dearmoring illumines and invites to dissolve
  • Greater access to your free will
  • Greater ease to actualize your potential personally, and in the world
  • More tolerance to pressure and stress
  • A noticeable increase of energy, vitality and health

Body Dearmoring brings more joy in Life, it is a new beginning!

Reward yourself with this “once-in-a-lifetime” process and join us on one of our Retreats.

Origins of the Knowledge and the Ceremony

On the American continent (South and North), the tradition of Twisted Hairs goes back thousands of years. At the time of the Central American high cultures, the so-called “rattlesnake school” existed as a forerunner of the Twisted Hairs Society, which had its ceremonial centres mainly in Mexico, Guatemala and Peru (today, several ruined cities still bear witness to the culture of that time).
The Twisted Hair were and are shamans, men and women, who in addition to the traditional knowledge of their own traditions and cultures, also integrated knowledge from other societies, which they acquired in their travels across the continent. Thus, they tested the practical knowledge and wove it into a school of enlightenment of their own that has existed in an unbroken lineage for many centuries.

Like other schools of power, the Twisted Hairs decided in the late 1970s to open their knowledge to a larger collective. This ceremonial path, which since then is also accessible to us, is on the one hand a school of awakening to oneself and to life, and on the other hand a path of human reintegration into nature and the cosmos. The knowledge of this universal alchemy, of which we are a part of, invites for personal ceremonial development and deeper shamanic experiences. The apprentice on this path not only seeks self-awareness, but uses mental and ceremonial knowledge to change into higher alignment with him/herself and the universe. The experience of larger spaces ultimately allows one to truly develop and live one’s potential in connection with the greater.

In the Twisted Hairs tradition, knowledge is preserved and imparted in the form of wheels and keys. This cyclical and non-linear thinking allows deep access to the understanding of larger connections within as well as outside of space and time, and invites us to experience the wheel of life in a new way: there is no beginning and no end, only the form of energy and our points of view change. Birth and death are just two stations on the wheel of life, which turns and changes forever. Energy is eternal and indestructible, but the forms energy can take are subject to certain laws. Knowing different wheels allows us, in addition to understanding broader spaces, to live, grow and stay in the flow of life according to natural laws and energy changes.

In the Body DeArmoring Retreat, besides experiencing the ancient ceremony of Dearmoring, you will learn many teachings from the tradition of the Twisted Hairs, as well as experience and enjoy various powerful ceremonies that allow profound changes in our being.

Character and personality

Body Dearmoring is a ceremony of profound Character work

It is not a ‘therapy’, it is a once in a lifetime process for expansion and space on all levels. The Ceremony works directly through the body and one’s sexual Life Force Energy. It illumines and releases the Meta-Structure we are in due to a multitude of past imprints.
The ceremony is designed to find Sovereignty, Autonomy and Liberation from restricting and limiting impacts of one’s past, on all levels of existence. These impacts – called Armor – have created density, within the physiology and more so, within the space we can claim as ours.

This armor, while restricting the body and energy movement, primarily limits one’s character and developmental horizon. When armored, past patterns held within the armor repeat themselves autonomically. Thus we are conditioned by our past, which repeats itself into the future; we are restricted in our movement forward and in our free will choices. It is difficult to access and feel oneself; access to one’s true desires is limited, and relating to others and the world happens through a filter. We experience more separation than connection.

Through the ceremony of Body Dearmoring, one releases the armor from the physical. This opens the door widely to:

  • dropping old reactive patterns which originated in the armor, and therefore accessing your free will and self determination in daily life
  • having a natural and consistent connection to yourself, you come home to yourself
  • relating to the world freely, at will and from one’s center
  • stepping out of emotional dependency into opening one’s heart
  • stepping into the opportunities which your life holds for you
  • experiencing a sense of true and causeless happiness

The main gains of Body Dearmoring, as described above, lay in the realm of spiritual, mental and emotional freedom, and in gaining air under your wings for your ongoing development and refinement.

However you may also gain:

a healthy connection to your natural sexual expression
more sexual depth, sensitivity and receptivity
stronger health and stamina
noticeably more energy, more potential and vitality
a deeper knowing of who you are in your   essence

Body Dearmoring brings more Joy in Life.
It is a new foundation and a new Beginning.

The Retreats

The Retreats

The core of our Retreats, are the 13 sessions of physical and soul – transformation. Those 13 sessions form a unit, which will lead to your full De-Armoring. The Retreats themselves are designed and led as a Healing Ceremony. We support you with profound knowledge about male and female energy, about being a man or a woman. We share teachings from our spiritual path around armoring and the consequences in our character (Body-Character-Types), and share tools with you for your ongoing refinement. We share knowledge about how to gain energy in your life process, and lead a fulfilling life. We support you in the actualization of your priorities and in your maturational process. We will provide individual assistance for you to find back into your naturalness, and fully be You.

A core piece of the Retreats consists in the complete reading and analysis of your Aura, and a personal consultation with us. Several powerful additional ceremonies will guide you in your process.

Armoring also leads to separation and human isolation. The natural state of being together in the group gradually loosens the isolation, and separation becomes unnecessary. Healing happens. To be together as humans becomes possible in a simple way. You will recognize in the process of each other a part of yourself; we become humans again that recognize and value their interconnection.

Men and Women go thru the process together. Thru this togetherness within the integrity and safety in the space, you will gain deep understanding, forgiveness and knowledge around the feminine and masculine, which you will encounter rarely in other contexts in that same depth and naturalness. Our Humanness, with all that we have in common, as well as our unique individuality, shines. You can be yourself, and be connected to others at the same time.
