The two-day program offered an unusual combination of esoteric disciplines, psychology, health and style. It provided participants with a range of suggestions for improving health, personal development and deeper self-knowledge.
After the opening presentation by the participants, the program got off to a very interesting start with a lecture by astrologer Richard Silver on the topic of Linking Astrology with Ethnotherapy. This session appealed to both fans of astrology and those interested in a deeper look at ethics and interpersonal relationships. It brought suggestions on how to use the knowledge of archetypes and planetary influences in personal development and in the search for balance in life.
This was followed by a presentation by mystic Bohuslav Vetrovsky, who drew the participants into the continuation of the "Burning Bush" series. The theme of spiritual awakening and inner light ran through his entire presentation.
The afternoon session offered a glimpse into the future of psychology by Jiri Beran, PhD, who presented new directions in the field of human psychology and mental well-being. The next lecture belonged to make-up artist and stylist Kaj Pavlíček, who engagingly explained the differences and similarities in styling for men and women. Practical tips were a welcome diversification and inspiration for everyday life.
The medical part of the program was enriched by MUDr. Eklová Danka with a lecture on the microbiome. She explained its key importance for physical and mental health and offered advice on how to take care of your microbiome.
The evening block belonged again to Bohuslav Vetrovsky, who changed the topic unplanned and the lecture Spiritual Worlds, completed the day full of knowledge, sharing and spiritual development.
Sunday's portion of the seminar had a spiritual and historical dimension. Participants met at the entrance to the important Emmaus Monastery, followed by Mass in the Church of Our Lady of the Slavs. This spiritual experience was a beautiful blend of tradition, meditation and community.
This was followed by a guided tour of the monastery led by Brother Naum, which enriched participants with deep historical and spiritual context. As a place with a rich history dating back to the 14th century, Emmaus Monastery offered a space for awareness of the roots of European spirituality and Czech culture.
The seminar was very successful and brought a balanced combination of mysticism, modern psychology, health care and practical advice for life. We very much appreciated the combination of lectures and the spiritual part in a historical setting. Participants left not only with new knowledge and inspiration, but also with a sense of deeper connection to themselves, to traditions and to a community of like-minded people.
The event confirmed that the combination of traditional and modern approaches to health, spirituality and personal development has a strong place today. We look forward to other similarly inspiring gatherings and thank all the organizers and speakers for their contributions.
