Warm welcome to LIFE'S BEAUTY GATHERING: Satsang with Live Music with Giita Rani, Hanne Viestad & Philip Dons, Guided Meditation with Karina Hoepers, Singing, Dancing, Potluck & Jam! 🎉 Join online or in Brevik (south of Nesodden), with a gorgeous sea view! 😍 We are 34 min drive from Oslo S & 8 min drive from Nesodden Kirke. Bus stop: Dal Skole. The program is designed to create a warm connection to oneself & participants, so never worry about coming alone, most guests come alone to our events. Check the wall of the event for videos & pictures. Accommodation available.In this gathering, we will journey into the many dimensions of INNER & OUTER BEAUTY: as the radiance of what *is*, seen clearly and with an open heart... Firstly, you will be guided nourish the awakening & familiarization to your beautiful essence of being through meditative contemplations based on the ancient Dzogchen wisdom, other approaches and Karina's experience, as the musicians play inspiring soft tunes to us 🥰 Guided meditations will invite us to the still, spacious presence from which Beauty arises. With reverence, we will honor the raw, sacred pulse of life in every breath, every sensation, every sound. We explore the mysterious quantum intimacy between inner and outer worlds, where the witness and the witnessed are felt as one shimmering field. Contemplations will carry us outward, into the textures of nature, art, and one another.
Musicians also perform beautiful songs in between the meditations for singing along (you get the lyrics). Live music will *co-weave* the space—a sonic temple where awe, celebration, and silence dance as one. As notes rise and fall like breath, we will remember Beauty as the heartbeat of Being itself. We will sit in reverence before the simple miracle of existence: the curve of a petal, the quiet ache in the chest, the glint of a tear, the laughter between strangers. Beauty will not be defined, but felt—alive, moving, untamable. In this sacred play of sound and stillness, of presence and participation, we open to the fullness of now. Not to grasp Beauty, but to be it.
Such a perfect way to pratice EMBODIMENT of AWAKENING!
Being nourished by delightful music, a Heart Family, delicious healthy treats will top up this fulfilling day with pure joy! You are welcome to dance to the kirtan & jamming as well!

PRACTICAL:
We will probably be at our neighbor Levi for this specific event, when you sign up, we send you the details on how to find it 😀 We might have the event at our garden instead at Kollen 3 if the weather is warm and sunny (we will inform by email on the same day at noon for those who sign up). Bring food to to share or to yourself, instruments if you have, enough clothes in case of cold or wind & a bottle to fill up on the water tap. Come a bit in advance, so you can greet others, put your food in the fridge, use the bathroom, & not disturb the meeting (we start on time).
💖 ~~*~~ 💖
NO MIND-ALTERING SUBSTANCES NEEDED:
No alcoholic drinks/drugs/tobacco shall be consumed here. The event provides enough of a high and we wish to inspire everyone to make direct access to their hearts & blissful essence without relying on "walking sticks" :)
Here we honor the natural, unfiltered essence of human connection. By choosing to forgo mind-altering substances, we create a sacred space where natural presence, clarity, and authenticity can thrive. Instead of seeing it as a restriction, see it as a liberation — an invitation to step into joy with open eyes, steady feet, and a clear heart. In a world where so many gatherings rely on substances to ease social tension or manufacture euphoria, we are fortunate to experience the real magic that arises when people meet each other as they truly are — vibrant, raw, and fully alive.
This shared commitment cultivates a powerful energetic field where trust deepens, boundaries soften with respect, and playfulness emerges organically. Without the haze of intoxication, we are better able to listen to ourselves and each other, to feel the music more intimately, and to dance from a place of true embodiment. It’s a profound opportunity to remember that joy, connection, and inner expansion do not need to be chased — they are already within us, just waiting to be awakened. By showing up fully, we become both the spark and the flame in this beautifully conscious celebration.

INSPIRATION SOURCES:
Meetings are inspired by Dzogchen teachings (the highest teaching of Buddhism), also other traditions, science, Karina's & Philip's life experience and investigation of reality. Dzog means completion, perfection, Chen means great: The GREAT COMPLETION, The GREAT PERFECTION. Complete means all done. Dzogchen is a tantric lineage also called Atiyoga (the ultimate yoga) or Mahamudra. Until few decades ago Dozgchen was kept a secret and given only to advanced practitioners. Karina & Philip are not Buddhists & show how you can integrate this most amazing teaching to every day life without needing to call yourself a Buddhist. Karina will lead the meetings and Philip will sometimes share his experience.

- If you have friends who might enjoy this meeting, invite them through the invite button and send them a PM.
- Kids and partners are welcome. The edge of our land is a cliff, so keep an eye on your kids.
- Radiation detox - turn off your phone (this turns off bluetooth, location, wifi, all that radiates) or if you wait for a call, leave them in a designated area under the treats table (to protect our friends who are hiper-electrosensitive & those who wish to avoid radiation).
- You can let the photographer know if you don't wish to appear in the photos/movies.
- Do not fall for scams with people commenting on posts saying that they are selling tickets. I delete them when I see them. If someone needs to sell a ticket, write a separate post on the wall of the event and I will only approve it if the person indeed has a ticket, as well as I will write on the comments of this person's post confirminng that it's legit.
