Susanne Schwing was born 1964 in rural south Germany, surrounded by nature, her biggest teacher. Speaking with trees, animals and forest fairies led to the deep wisdom that everything is connected.

After studying at the Sportsacademy she travelled through India, where she practised Yoga and ayurvedic massage. 1993 was a turning point in her life, when during her first visit to Eressos, she came in contact with her Healing power.

Back in Germany, she contacted therapists and teachers, including teachers from Hawaii, and was trained in Lightwork, Huna Philosophy, Hula Dance and Bodywork.

Susanne has been living in Eressos since 2002, in an old farmhouse with horses, dogs, cats and a big garden, close to the beauty of the sea and surrounded by powerful nature.

She works as a Yogateacher and Bodywork Therapist, helping people to connect with their inner selves.

Workshops & Massage Sessions

Based on these principles, we experience ourselves with pure help from Nature and the Seven Elements: fire, water, wind, stone, plants, animals and human beings. We connect with and take energy from what is around us to soar into a new realm of possibilities.

A Shaman is anyone who allows themself a spacious view of reality and who is curious regarding the challenges that life brings to them.

Huna involves all the skills which raise our energy, such as communication with the elements, stretching & dance movements, meditative movements and breathing.

There is a vision that the wisdom of full health and fullfillment is in all of us, on all levels, living within our bodies. As this wisdom is merely sleeping inside us, we all always have the possiblility to reawaken it. Tension, stress and energy blocks make it difficult for us to go straight to this wisdom.

The old Hawaiians knew about this, and the Flow of Life, and developed the wonderful massage healing ceremony called:

Lomi Lomi Nui Massage

Known as the "Temple-style", Lomi Lomi Nui is a graceful, deep physical oil-massage, that goes far beyond healing.

Based on respect, attention and unconditional love the whole body will be touched by devine love.

"Kino Mana" (the Strength of the body) Bodywork is like a dance, like music, like diving into deep water and playing with Dolphins. In this style of Lomi Lomi Massage, the practitioner is the dancer and the recipient is the choreographer.

The Bodyworker takes her energy from practising a dynamic dance & meditative movement, called Flight of the Navigator (The Flying).

Susanne will be giving half hour demonstrations of Lomi Lomi Nui during the festival.

Workshops

Dynamic Yoga/Flying Dance Mediation

Energizing and balancing our Body & Soul with flowing, meditative movements based on the natural rhythm of our body. We become conscious of our breathing, while practising stretching asanas (exercises) in an easy way and becoming more flexible.

The hawaiian Flying dance is a dynamic dance and meditation movement with beautiful music to bring us more into the flow of life. While 'Flying high', we are becoming deeply rooted with the earth and more stable in different situations.

Kamalii o' Kapo - The Creation Dance

The Creation Dance is a traditional healing dance of Hawaii. We practise by the sea, learning the steps and stories of the Hawaiian people.

This dance is a great healer for ourselves and others; it is powerfully moving and touches the heart. The dance activates energy, bringing pure happiness in an easy way like playing.

This is a two sesssion workshop, each session lasts 2 hours.
