Episode 5
The Spiritual Ego
We can say or claim all kinds of things, but are they really true for us?
“To say these things means nothing; to mean these words means everything”
Do we put flesh on these bones?
Do we speak from the heart or from the mind?
As long as we believe in enemies, were are certainly not free.
And when I say this I mean: seen from the deepest Reality.
On the human plane I DO see enemies (Trump, Putin etc.),
but seen from the “soul level” we are all “divine”.
So my “judgement” is relative, not absolute.
The Art of Letting Go of Judgement & Disappointment
Judgment and disappointment are a normal part of life but what can we do to process our thoughts and feelings in a healthy way so we can accept the situation as it is? Let’s talk about it!
Episode 6
Forgiveness: The Key to a Present Future
How many hours in the day are spent thinking of what has already happened? How much of the future is feared based on the past?
Starting from childhood things happen to create our beliefs of the world. Those beliefs shape our lived experience.
Learning how to forgive frees the energy of the things we hold onto and most of the thoughts of the past.
Emotions Are Constantly Speaking to All of Us
We’re all “moving on up” in the world these days! We’re moving from 3 dimensional beings to primarily Energy Beings. Emotions are available to help us resolve issues and challenges, support us and to transform. Manipulation is about the misuse and misappropriation of energy. Today we’ll focus on use and appropriation of emotional energy that we can do every day, so we can “move on up”!
Our Speakers
Jos Smeets
My name is Jos Smeets (my pseudonym Yosiji) and I create meditative music, guided meditations, and videos, among other things. I have been involved with spirituality for about 45 years. It started with an interest in paranormal phenomena and now I am mainly focused on what you could call self-realisation.
I was born in Kerkrade, in the south of the Netherlands.
In my daily life I am a schoolteacher and a composer/video maker. Currently I am working with a number of people to explore how we could organise retreats and what form they could take. (Guided) meditation and my music will, of course, play an important role in this.
I have two websites:
http://yosijimusic.com/ (English and Dutch) and
https://www.verwondering-hetcollectief.nl/ (Dutch)
Here you can find links to music videos on YouTube.
Free music can be found at https://yosijimusic.bandcamp.com/

Dorian A. Des Lauriers
Dorian is an entrepreneur who operated several companies over nearly 40 years. He decided to give it all up, selling his business interests, home and most of the rest, tearfully said goodbye to his family and embarked on a journey of awakening to the jungles of Costa Rica hoping to find his way.
It is here through the deep reconnection to nature he discovered his spiritual being through extensive time in nature, immersing in ancient wisdom and philosophical studies, reading, meditation, and spiritual practices. As a painter, philosopher and writer he combined these experiences and now provides Spiritual Hospitality at The Chorotega Arte Y Sol Hotel in Montezuma, Costa Rica. A rustic artistic jungle hotel retreat center with amazing ocean views where personal vacations and group retreats are available.
