Alma Indira
Medicine songs & Music ceremony
Alma brings over a healing breeze from the rainforest, messages from ancient tribes. Thanks to her guides and teachers from Latin America, she gradually started to remember and reconnect back to the sacred work with the ceremonial chants of the Ícaros and Medicine songs. Her intention is to bring the gifts and forgotten wisdom of ancient natural cultures to the people so we they can renew our strong connection to our ancestors, roots and the nature spirits around us. Icaros are ancient, indigenous ceremonial chants through which healers weave the energetic web of the human body. With their high vibrations and healing frequencies, they take us into a deep meditative state of our visions. They bring to the surface blocks that prevent us from living in connection and clear deeply stored and unprocessed emotions. In a very magical way, they support and enhance the healing effect of the plant masters of the rainforest, helping us to connect to the wisdom and message they are ready to impart to us. Working with Icaros is a very ancient technique of energy work that involves a complete cleansing and healing process in a very clear and conscious way.

Mahadeva Kirtan Project
The band is the dream project of drummer and percussionist Marek Žilinec | @marekzilinec. A project that for him is a mission and a desire to bring people into a calm state of mind, of immersing into oneself; a spiritual practice that is true for him. It is a communal chanting of mantras in Sanskrit accompanied by music. Marek imparts to the project the experience he has gathered from his travels around the world and especially in India, as well as from performing with some of the world's leading musicians of the genre, such as Sadhguru's Sounds of Isha and Kevin James.
After 4 years of searching for a leader, the project came to life in the hands, voice and heart of actress and singer Dominika Morávková. In her words, "I like to bring joy and love to myself and others through what I create. Chanting mantras with people brings me the most beautiful feelings, it also becomes my daily tool to connect with myself, it gives me a space for my own quieting and self-purification. Apart from this project, I am pursuing acting, and gradually the journey of a postpartum doula, women's themes and rituals. I'm a mom of two and love being connected to nature and music."
Marek Zilinec is a drummer, percussionist, producer, author, music teacher, active studio and concert player. From a rebellious rocker, he has gradually worked his way up to a sensitive and perceptive player with a relentless appetite for exploring the unknown and experimenting. Music and instruments of different cultures became his great love. His outlook on music and the meaning of life underwent a gradual transformation. Yogic culture, Eastern philosophies and trips to India, where he could spend time in the presence of spiritual masters like Mooji and Sadhguru were such a natural consequence of his personal need for self-development and self-discovery. All of this was also strongly reflected in his music. This year Marek has toured several European capitals such as London, Paris , Milano , Vienna , Ljubljana with the world famous Indian formation SOUNDS OF ISHA, accompanying the spiritual master SADHGURU. Marek is currently the drummer of the band of Richard Autner, Martin Geisberg and various other projects. You can see him as a drummer in the production of Macbeth at the Slovak National Theatre, where he is also the author of the music for this performance consisting only of drums and percussion. He created a formation called Mahadeva Kirtan Project where he is the drummer and percussionist.
The project features Ondrej Vajgel | @ondrej.chilly on guitar, Denis Pagac | @denis.pagac on bass. Another voice that accompanies these mantras is Kristínka Dubajová and on guitar-cello Tomas Brichta @brichta_tomas .
