Lunghin Pass, Swiss Alps
Initiation: 14th-15th August 2024
We gathered in the Swiss Alps, at the remarkable Lunghin Pass—a place where three great rivers begin their long journeys to the North Sea, the Black Sea, and the Adriatic Sea. Some of us hiked up from one side of the mountain, while others ascended from the opposite side. As we met at the pass, it felt like a natural convergence—not just of rivers, but of people, purpose, and place.
The setting was breathtaking, with towering peaks and the clear, crisp air. We stood together, feeling deeply connected to this unique crossroads of nature, knowing that the waters we were witnessing would eventually flow through different parts of the world. In a simple, yet profound ritual, we greeted the waters with love and intentions for peace and paid our respects to the land beneath us, the mountains that stood strong, and the earth that sustains us all.
The ritual wasn’t elaborate, but it was filled with meaning. We acknowledged the power of this location and the interconnectedness of everything around us. In this moment of shared reverence, we were united—not only with each other but with the Earth itself. The simplicity of our act, standing in silence, offering love and gratitude, was a reflection of how connected we are through the cycles of water, land, and life.
As we finished, there was a deep sense of calm and purpose. Meeting at Lunghin Pass felt significant, like the first ripple of something much larger. This was the beginning of a journey—a commitment to channel positive energy through the waters, the mountains, and the Earth itself, towards a future where love and peace can truly flourish.
