At this year’s Festival, Bruna & Mose will conduct yoga workshops with live Dj set
Bruna has been practising youga since 2013. Since then she has been practicing it religiously. In 2014 Bruna finished her first 200 hours training with Corepower Yoga in San Diego-CA. In 2016 she decided to go to India and finished another 300 hours training at Yoga Point in Nasik.
Bruna Bortolato is a Spiritual Life Coach, certified Women’s Empowerment Mentor, ceremonialist & a movement teacher born and raised in Brazil. Bruna’s desire of deepening her spiritual path led her to leave Brazil at the age of 23, traveling around the world studying yoga and meditation. She explores different cultures and immerses herself in nature where she spends time in reflection listening to a higher guidance. Bruna is based in Guatemala on the beautiful lake of Atitlán, a place where she fell in love and saw an opportunity to go deeper into her journey. Bruna has studied holistic coaching for over four years and has attended and hosted many workshops and retreats. She teaches embodiment through sacred movement, a practice of being in your body—that ignites creativity, connection, and community.
Her main focus in this practice is to hold space by creating a safe-boundaries-environment in which people can integrate, transform and heal in body, mind, heart and spirit. She leads sharing circles and different workshops, helping women break free from old patterns to discover a truest sense of freedom. Bruna is on a mission to help women awaken on a global scale. She believes healing must be done collectively. Bruna together with her partner have been hosting cacao ceremonies all over the world and also in the sacred land of the Mayans-Guatemala.
Mose is based in Guatemala on the beautiful volcanic crater lake of Atitlán where cacao ceremonies, kirtan, and ecstatic dance have had a major influence on his productions and DJ style. It is here that he founded regular cacao dances where members of the community have the opportunity to journey deep into dance while held in a ceremonial container, free of alcohol.
Beyond the multicultural rhythms and the steady hypnotic beat, Mose weaves ephemeral chanting of sacred songs and calls to love, kindness and compassion, often bringing in live musicians to create something improvisational connected with that particular place and time. He creates with the intention to set a foundation for self discovery and the cultivation of a present minded state which offers new insights and deeper clarity in ones purpose.
When he is not touring the world or playing these special events in Guatemala, he spends his time going into extended periods of retreat and silence, only to emerge with a deeper, truer and more refined sound. He also supports other emerging artists through his record label Resueño with an intention to bring resonant souls together to create music that uplifts and inspires. The label transcends any particular cultural aesthetic and explores a universal vibration through weaving sounds and languages from around the world. It is also a vehicle for social causes as 50% of all label profits are donated to causes around the shores of Lake Atitlán to support members of the community most in need.
