Tiina Pedak is a rising star in Estonia!

We travelled to Tallin, Estonia, after our wonderful trainings in Spain with Maria Jose Borras and our Spanish Liberation Breathing® community. Tiina Pedak is one of the rising stars in the breathwork community there in Estonia....and she organized a weekend workshop at a local yoga center in Tallin. The people in Estonia are very open to the process of using the breath to rise to higher and deeper levels of consciousness. Tiina brought together a mixture of new and experienced breathworkers, as well as some who had never used the breath before as a catalyst for change.

Many thanks go to Kristi Paasuke for her excellent translating work. Kristi has studied breathwork for many years herself, and was a great help to the training, giving accurate translations in Estonian to the people who were new to our work. THANK YOU, Kristi. It was a pleasure getting to know you!

In the weekend we discussed the basic concepts of Liberation Breathing® and began and ended the training with homage to the Divine Mother. People got to look at effective ways to release anger, and the most important steps of forgiving our parents. Also the work in locating and releasing our "personal lie" was discussed on Friday. Saturday was spent looking at the basic family patterns taught in the New Loving Relationships Training, and how to free ourselves from the negative tendencies we inherited from our birth script and family tendencies that were unhealthy. Everyone was very into the breathing by then, and needed the process to let go of the old "stuff" we have been carrying around with us.

It was very heart warming to see how well the people of Estonia took to the breath as a tool of transformation. The group was very willing to share their experiences in the seminar, and some of the sharings were quite profound. Getting in touch with the "personal lie", one's most dominant negative consciousness factor that is often suppressed and submerged in the subconscious mind, was the highlight for many.

All these opportunities to meet powerful women...and men.... of Estonia came to our door. We got to know them in a deeper way...and found them very open to Liberation Breathing® and this introspective "work" we offer in the seminars.

Sondra and the Town Pointer in Olde Tallin

On our last day in Tallin we took a long stroll in the Olde Town of Tallin. At the Olde Hansa house we delighted in honey beer, which is like a meade, and a wild mushroom soup that was out of this world. Sondra set her sights on a piece of jewelry that was indicative of the amber artifacts commonly created in the Baltic states. This piece she put on her "wish list" for when we return to Estonia.....in the near future, we hope.

So leaving Estonia on the ship to Stockholm came with its tinge of the bittersweet. Fortunately Sondra and I were interviewed by journalist Kristiina so she could write up her experience of the training in one of the prominent Tallin magazines.

And of course, Tiina brought us Estonian chocolates to enjoy on our cruise to Stockholm!

Tiina, our only regret is that we can't pack you away in our suitcase. Already you know how much luggage we need on our tours! That would really put us over the top!
