Villaks-velkomst: elvevandring, lydhealing, sufidans - feiring av felleskap med nærnaturen.

Join us in welcoming the salmon home, with an evening of resonance with nature, song, sound, movement and rest. The salmon became extinct from this river for a long time due to pollution, but have now started to return in great numbers, and the salmon can now - due to efforts to improve the health of the river - again live there. The migrating salmon are born in the river, then travel, and return to reproduce. 

Every autumn the salmon return to the Akerselva river, and we wish to welcome them home. Join us on this salmon walk up the river, followed by an inner journey at Northern Light Yoga. You can choose to join the whole program or only parts. Tickets in the link on the event. 

15:00-16:45: River-walk. 

Welcome-walk for the salmon along the Akerselva river led by women, accompanied by song and incense. After the welcome-walk, those who wishes to join the rest of the evening will walk together to Northern Lights Yoga at Majorstua. The river-walk is a free event where everyone who wishes to welcome the salmon home are warmly welcomed. 

17:30-18:45 Sound Healing with Anand Raj and his Master students in Gong Playing at Northern Lights Yoga. 

Anand Raj, Tor Arne, and their Master students from this year's Gong Training will guide you through a powerful sound healing journey. Using specially designed Norse gongs, which resonate with Nordic mythology, they will create a transformative soundscape that invokes the primal energies of nature. The vibrations of these unique instruments are deeply therapeutic, encouraging a profound inner shift as the sounds harmonize your body and spirit. The rich overtones will ease tension, allowing the natural flow of life energy to stream freely through you, inviting deep healing and rejuvenation.

18:45-20:15 Dances of Universal Peace with Jessica Ullevålseter and musicians. 

Following the sound healing, Jessica Ullevålseter will lead you into the Dances of Universal Peace. This is an interactive mantra yoga practice, blending simple, joyful dance choreography with sacred mantras from spiritual traditions around the world. Accompanied by live musicians, we will move together in a circle, creating a shared body of music and movement. This practice is a meditation in motion, inviting us to become one through the sacred sounds and rhythms.

Rooted in the Chisti Sufi tradition of Hazrat Inayat Khan, and further developed in the USA during the 1960s by Murshid Sam, Dances of Universal Peace are now celebrated across the globe as a practice of unity, peace, and spiritual connection.
