Thank you to all who came to the first edition of our new concept, Rituals Cafe - a temporary oasis of soul-healing rituals, groovy tunes, and bites made with love. Second edition will be in April, dates will be announced soon 💕

Here is the story behind the concept of Rituals Cafe written by Nadeya, founder of Zaya.

“In 2022, I created my first festival, Sunū Festival. While driving back to Berlin after Sunü, a song came through the car radio—one that would shift something deep within me. It was a hypnotic sound that I had never really heard before… one that blended Malian and Saharan rhythms with a deep parallel that shared ancestral ties with the origins of American blues. It made me think about my own roots, the traditions, and rituals that have shaped me and people across time and cultures. In that moment, I knew this sound would be the inspiration for my next creation.

From that day on, I began uncovering more about my roots - my Indian and West African ancestry, the secret ceremonies my Indian-Muslim grandmother used to perform, as well as the wisdom carried in traditions both lost and remembered. I began feeling this deep intuitive connection to exploring the music, rituals, and traditions of the world around me and started blending them into my daily life.

But by 2024, exhaustion from my day job overtook my life, and the idea faded into the background. By the end of 2024, I felt completely disconnected, drained, numb, and running on autopilot. Feeling a desperate need for reconnection, I took a solo trip to Costa Rica - a place that has always felt like home.

Sunü was a sacred woman of antiquity who understood yin yang and the Way of Heaven and was a great musician. When she played her qin called 廣都 Guangdu the warm winds would blow cold, white snow would fall in winter, luan birds would call out, phoenix birds would dance, and longevity mushrooms would blossom.

Her mission is to BE. It is in her BE-ing that lights the way for others to just BE as well. With her being and her BE-ing she inspires calm, incites mystery, and works on behalf of Spirit to invite others to step into her world where her beautiful mind is just the tip of the iceberg to the multiverse that is her. It is through stepping into the world that you awaken that which is within you, which is the beginning of your path to your infinite self.

As we come to a close for a year that LITERALLY came and went in the blink of an eye, its important to close the year with a moment of reflection. Before you go out (or stay in) and celebrate the new year, spend the next 10 minutes asking yourself the following questions:

- How have you grown and expanded this past year? What are some of the biggest lessons you learned?
- What are you most proud of yourself for this year? What could you have improved?
- What are 2-3 ways you can show up as your best self in 2022?

Share this with your friends and let us know some of the things you’re most proud of in the comments!
Happy new year to all of you who have been on this journey with us so far!

Wow! ✨ Last weekend at the Body Wisdom retreat we had a super magical time. So many of us experienced profound shifts and are still integrating from the experience. Many of you have asked if there will be another one and the answer is yes! We will continue to create more healing experiences both virtually and in-person (for those in Berlin) and I can’t wait to have you join us and be on this journey with us! Thank you so much to and everyone that participated in the retreat as well as those that supported us by sharing the retreat with your communities. SO much love to all of you! So happy to have you here on this journey with us in teaching the importance of the mind-body connection in order to awaken to deep personal transformation and healing.

Feel what you need to feel - then move through it. Dance with it. Sense the way it moves through you. Become open, become curious. Observe it, be the bystander. Connect to the sensations.

We are trained to ignore internal sensations and what the body is telling us. All the external demands and expectations in life hinder us from feeling, from sensing, from slowing down. How can we be present in a world that lives by “time is of the essence”, to push and keep going? In a world that praises hard work. It’s no wonder why we all eventually reach burnt out.

Movement-based practices allow us to feel. It improves cognitive functioning, sensorimotor acuity, as well as our emotional states. Incorporating grounding techniques and awareness of physical sensations provides feedback that we can monitor and learn to control under times of stress and anxiety.

Ways to incorporate mindful movement and embodiment practices into your life:
Dance
Yoga
Qigong
Tai Chi
Walking meditation
