In Sanskrit my name, Vartan, means revolution, rebellion. Words that evoke vigor and courage, the
desire to react from something we perceive as unsatisfactory, repressive, controlling. For me this
name has been a constant invitation to keep my attention alive, to keep my eyes wide open and to
listen to the subtle movements of my inner life. Indeed, quickly, I realized that my interest was
directed internally rather than externally by fighting against the world and lack of respect. My
priority was to feel inside the effects that the outer world generated within me.
I wanted to clean myself and not accumulate any more material that wasn’t really mine. I longed to
intensely detoxify myself from what I had received and absorbed when I was not yet able to protect
myself and when I still didn’t fully realize the hidden messages in the relationships and exchanges I
was living in my life.
This was the beginning: a cleansing of layers of beliefs and limitations and a consequent
reintegration of my life force and sense of wholeness.
I wanted to access the full potential of my own vitality and no longer feel confined to a small
percentage of it, a consequence, I realised, of acquiescing to others’ expectations. Later I learned to
feel and integrate my own expansion of an energy that finally began to circulate within and be at my
disposal, more and more free from the tensions and contractions experienced previously.
The first step of a revolution is the liberation of one’s inner potential.
The second step is a re-appropriation of this awakened vital energy.
Then comes the awareness of how the newfound energy moves and how to put it responsibly at the
service of knowing oneself and one’s own fulfillment.
At this point every form of rebellion has accomplished its purpose and vanishes, it is no longer the
only way. The antagonism of repression is over.
The first 2 moments are essential to find oneself, but they are still a reactive need from something,
someone and to help oneself.
With the awareness of one’s own vital energy, becoming pure vital energy and let it flowing freely
inside oneself, peace takes over. No revolution is needed anymore, we can relax into our essential
nature. Finally we love ourselves for who we are, just as we are.
During the retreat we will experience the journey of inner revolution through guided meditations
and exercises, individual and group activities, delving into the vertical plane – from earth to sky –
and on the horizontal one – feminine and masculine – the awareness of vital energy, of its internal
movements and needs, which are different for everyone.
We will also experience some of the elements that make up the extensive training of Psychic
Massage. If you are already trained, you have the possibility to refresh and consolidate them. If you
don’t know this technique yet, then participating could be a great opportunity to get closer to this
profound and engaging method of care, healing and personal growth.
Wherever you are on your path, you are welcome.

“With man, evolution ends and there is a revolution. But for this to happen, being human must
be accepted in its entirety. We must not deny the irrational nor the reason; one must not deny
the intellect nor the emotions; science should not be denied nor religion.
The human being must remain fluid, a flow capable of moving from one polarity to the other.
You will never be able to grow if you don’t grow in your totality.”
Osho
