Fire Ceremony

Karuk ✨

Karuk was born on September 21, 1971, in Lahr, Black Forest. He is the father of four adult children and currently lives in Kandern-Feuerbach, near the Swiss border.

Throughout his life, profound experiences shaped his deep understanding of human psychology. Fascinated by the power and healing properties of medicinal plants and herbs, he pursued formal training as an aromatherapist at the Avicenna School of Medicinal Plants. His expertise was further enriched through extensive studies with Adelheid Lingg, one of the most renowned herbalists of the Allgäu region.

His training also introduced him to the ancient wisdom of incense rituals, where he discovered the transformative depth of this sacred practice.

Karuk's spiritual journey took a significant turn through visions received at the Sundance in Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota, near the Nebraska border. There, he was initiated by Sun Bear into the rituals and traditions of the Oglala-Lakota tribe. He received teachings on medicinal herbs and, through numerous medicine walks, was entrusted with the tribe’s spiritual wisdom.

His life’s vision materialized through Schamanenfeuer (Shamanic Fire), a space where he can fully live and express his spirituality. Following the call of the spirits, he dedicates himself to sharing his knowledge and abilities, bringing his vocation to life step by step.

Karuk is committed to guiding others on their spiritual journeys, offering support in personal transformation and passing on his deep well of knowledge. His seminars and consultations emphasize groundedness, respect for all living beings, and a profound reverence for nature.

He primarily leads shamanic training programs, always placing personal healing at the forefront. For him, true shamanic wisdom is not just about acquiring knowledge but about integrating self-awareness and personal healing. He believes that growth comes through lived experience, and that humility toward nature and creation opens the path to deeper understanding.

Karuk is deeply grateful for his journey and for all those who have been part of it—whether as “teachers behind the mask” or as guides with good intentions. Every encounter has contributed to his learning, and he continues to grow every day. 

At the retreat, he will lead the Opening Fire Ceremony Circle, guiding participants in setting their intentions for the journey ahead.

Frédéric✨

Musician | Composer | Sound Therapist

Frédéric Perrier is a musician, composer, and sound alchemist, crafting cinematic and contemplative soundscapes that transport listeners into otherworldly realms. Through the project with his partner Corinne Tihon, Sonus Orionis, he explores the intersection of contemporary classical music, film scores, and electro-acoustic textures, creating immersive sonic experiences.

A life-changing encounter with Tibetan bowls and gongs awakened a new dimension in his artistry. Driven by the profound effects of sound on consciousness, he trained as a sound bath practitioner, sonotherapist, and mentor.

Kundalini Yoga

Daria✨

Kundalini Yoga Teacher

Daria discovered Kundalini Yoga by pure accident, but from the very first experience, she knew—this practice would change her life forever. Today she is a Kundalini Yoga teacher, movement alchemist, and creator of Chakra Fit, a dynamic fusion of tribal dance, Kundalini Yoga, and Asian movement meditation designed to awaken, align, and energize the body. After years of dedicated practice, she completed her full Kundalini Yoga training with Imagine Academy (Yoga Alliance certified) and later trained with Maya Fiennes in London to teach Kunda Dance—a playful, rhythmic approach to moving energy through dance.

At this retreat, Daria will guide two powerful morning Kundalini Yoga sessions, awakening the body’s life force through breath, movement, and mantra. Just like this practice once unexpectedly transformed her world, perhaps this retreat will be the moment that shifts something deep within you. With her radiant energy and intuitive guidance, she invites you to open up to new possibilities, reconnect with yourself, and embrace the magic of change.
