Oneness Journeys
“Come as you are - return as another...”
What is the connection between nature and your own true nature?
Meditating on sacred sites has always been a catalyst for unconditional freedom. Combining the power of sacred places with the personal development process adds a deeper dimension to travelling - and life.
“One day in a sacred site is like a hundred days of meditation” Tibetan saying.
Most of us have experienced moments of unconditional freedom where time fades away and we are one with everything. It could be watching a beautiful sunset, walking alone on a beach, being in an empty cathedral, skiing down a mountain or sitting by a river. Our senses are free to experience what ever is - without the interference of the mind. We are fully present – filled with life.
This experience does not have to be limited to a few seconds or minutes. It can be our permanent state of being. On our own paths we have learned that the process towards permanent oneness is greatly catalysed by four factors:
- Oneness teachings
- Meditation
- Deeksha or Oneness Blessing
- Being on sacred sites
These four factors are combined in the Oneness Journeys in ever new ways. Furthermore play, humor and adventure are main ingredients.
You can experience Oneness Journeys to:
- Japan - “Infinite Beauty - Beautiful Infinity”
- New Zealand - “Into the Nature of No Mind”
- Denmark - “Journey Through the Chakras - pilgrimage Samsoe Island”
- Italy - “Ski Pilgrimage in the mountains”
- India - “In the footsteps of the Buddha”
- Philippines - “Sea Meditation Retreat”
- Austria - “Flow Skiing Retreat”
- Peru - “Sacred sites of the Inkas”
- Bhutan - “The Last Shangri-La”
where we integrate activities like
- finding powerplaces in nature
- working with Earth energy currents
- sacred sites meditations and rituals
- finding your way into the nature of no mind
- swimming and communicating with dolphins
- visiting and living in temples
- trekking/walking meditation in sacred mountains
- snorkling and meditating in the sea over koral reefs
- Kayaking amazing coastlines and lakes
- Flow skiing like water down a mountain
- horsetrekking in spectacular landscapes
- encountering seals, penguins, whales, rare birds......
The activities are always voluntary so if one activity does not resonate with your physical abilities or interests there are always other things to do.
In the activities calendar you can read about timings for upcoming retreats and pilgrimages integrating sacred sites.

“God sleeps in the Rock,
Dreams in the plant,
Stirs in the animal,
Awakens in man”
Sufi saying
The planetary perspective - what about the earth?
Sacred sites are acupuncture points of Gaya - the living earth. Like the human body the earth has chakras, acupuncture points and meridians. She is breathing - the trees are her lungs. The rivers are her veines. She has consciousness - just like us - but different :-). Doing energy work on a sacred site is a very effective way to heal the planet and to raise human consciousness.
Oneness Journeys are not just to create miraculous results for the participants - the purpose is also to clear the blockages in the planetery meridians and chakras - giving birth to a quantum leap in global consciousness. This can be done through Oneness Blessing/Deeksha and other spiritual work on sacred sites.
We have found great inspiration in the Earth Chakra map and work of Robert Coon. For Robert Coon’s website visit: www.earthchakras.org. Our work has been closely connected with one of the main meridians going around the globe - the Rainbow Serpent or the Michael line. We have done energy work on more than 20 sites on this line and totally around 50 sacred sites around the globe.
On the map above you see that the Michael Line connects sacred sites all around the planet. In Cornwall + Shaftesbury + Glastonbury + Avebury in the UK, Odense+Roskilde+ Copenhagen in Denmark, Moscow in Russia, Kailash Mountain in Tibet, Bali in Indonesia, Uluru (Ayers Rock) Australia, Machu Picchu in Peru and many more.
The individual perspective - what about you?
“It is not a miracle to walk on water - it is a miracle to walk on this earth.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
The purpose of all activities in Oneness Center is to catalyse your journey back to the state of Oneness. This happens when our perspective shifts - from dualism to enlightened vision - through inner and outer journeys.
No one can tell what your journey looks like - this is the mystery you´ll have to discover yourself. And in reality there is no “final destination” either - as the way is the goal. To walk in unconditional freedom in every step - in every breath. A state where “Being” is primary and “doing” is secondary - not the other way around. This does not exclude “doing” in any way. Living based in “Being” actually makes your “doing” much more profound.
This state of Being is easier to step into when we are in nature or on sacred sites. That’s because of the “no-mind-vibration” in these places - opposite to the very compact mind-fields - or mine fields :-) - in the crowded cities. We could also call it a higher vibration in the sacred sites that allows us to resonate with our higher self. Our higher self recides in the stillness of our hearts - which is very much mirrored in the stillness of nature or an empty cathedral.
This is why we in our work find ourselves so much in nature and on sacred sites. These Oneness Journeys into the outer landscape temples of this earth are powerful catalysors of your own inner journey.
What are Landscape temples?
To walk in nature is to walk in the temple of God. Just like in fractals the divine patterns of this universe are repeated on smaller and smaller scales. This means that the energy body of the planet has similar structures as the human energy body with chakra systems in the landscape. These energy patterns are repeated in landscape temples varying from several thousand kilometers (Line of the Bull) to just 100 meters (Externsteine in Germany).
An example is the “Line of the Bull” going from the root chakra in North Africa up through Europe to the crown chakra in Norway (Jotunheimen). See photo to the right.
You will also see the chakra landscape temple on the Island of Samsoe (where Oneness Center is located in the heart chakra). Samsoe island is 30 kilometers long and has been called the New Iona (a very sacred island near Scotland with a powerful landscape temple as well) by a leading expert.
Walking through the landscape temple of Samsoe island is a healing journey through the chakras of the island as well as your own chakras.
Feedback from Oneness Journey participants:
An experience for Life
After the pilgrimage to Peru with Cecil and Bruhn my life has become an adventure. On the journey I experienced to be strongly connected and to be accepted - this is a wonderful present. It helps to distinguish between presence and mind. Furthermore it is a great way to travel and explore a new country - everything is a little stronger - the colors, the scents, the sounds - and you can truly experience the energy of the landscape and the people. It is not just a journey out - it is also a journey in.
Many thanks!

Dear Cecil and Bruhn
Great thanks to you for a fantastic experience in the footsteps of the inkas. The layout of the trip with a good mix of teachings, walks, sacred sites visits and time to be a tourist on your own matched my wishes perfectly. I TRULY enjoyed every moment and experienced an inner peace and power which I have brought home with me.
It was a gift to have the possibility of travelling with such a wonderful group. Thanks to you who made it possible and thanks to all the other beautiful participants.

”Everything formed a higher synthesis”!
Dear Bruhn and Cecil
I had the most fantastic trip ever, everything formed a synthesis: Skiing, experiences, silence, sun, sleet, mountain air, wind, meditation, talk, deeksha, connectedness, heart energy, just energy... and all that outside the realm of words. It was a gift. Thank you.
Love Sohan
