A Vision shared...
Some time ago, I met with our European Ancestors in a Ceremony in the other realm...
They said they are waiting for us...
They said they are missing us and longing for us to reach out...
They go far back in times and they miss hearing their Songs... They miss their Ceremonies...
A beautiful vision followed of us Honouring Them in the old way....
Allowing them to guide us in giving form to our ceremonies...
Allowing them to sing their songs through us...
Do you hear their songs??? Can you feel their calling in your Heart???

Avelina Rogel
Avelina Rogel, also known as Mama Ave, is an Indigenous woman from the Panzaleo and Palta peoples of Ecuador. She is a spiritual authority recognized by CONAIE (Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador) and a guardian of ancestral wisdom passed down through her maternal lineage. Her path weaves science with the wisdom of the Earth: she is an agricultural engineer specialized in agroecology, has studied ethnomedicine, and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in bioethics.
Mama Ave inhabits the intersection of spirituality, activism, and healing. In her role as Yachay Mama – a wise woman who guides with her words, actions, and heart – she supports collective processes of resistance, care, and regeneration, both in Indigenous territories and in urban and community spaces. Her medicine integrates the art of smudging, heartfelt speech, plant knowledge, and deep listening.
On her journey, she has woven bridges between tradition and the present, reminding us that “thinking from the heart” — corazonar — is both a political and spiritual act. Her presence at Sundeer opens a space for reconnecting with the living wisdom of ancestral peoples, and for feeling, alongside her, the insurgent power of care, reciprocity, and simple living.

Kim Junghee (South-Korea)
Kim Jung-hee is a mudang —a traditional Korean shaman— and a bearer of ancestral medicine that has endured centuries of cultural suppression and transformation. Her path is rooted in the powerful gut rituals: ceremonies of healing and purification through chant, dance, spiritual trance, and sacred possession by divine forces that walk alongside human destiny.
In recent years, Kim Jung-hee has been a recurring guest at Sundeer / Napszarvas, where she has shared her deep ancestral medicine accompanied by her disciples. Those who witness her ceremonies speak of a powerful, precise, and deeply compassionate presence. Her rituals open spaces of transformation that reach into the unseen and the essential.
In addition to healing ceremonies and spiritual guidance, she also leads traditional initiations such as the naerim-gut —a rite of passage for those called to the shamanic path. Through sacred song, ceremonial garments, and her embodied relationship with Korean deities, she weaves a bridge between the visible and invisible.

Mária Magdolna Fister
Writer, sociologist, a seasoned professional with decades of experience in the field of cultural management. She is a public culture lecturer, teacher and folklorist, who reads embroideries as others read books. Magdolna is also a leader of sweat lodge ceremonies, a diviner, a researcher, a connoisseur and a transmitter of the Hungarian heritage of Csallóköz (the Rye Island) and the Mátyusföld (Terra Mathei) regions.
My intuition, visions and suspicions are the starting point of my research. In such cases, I live in parallel realities in several time zones. I then gather what I can from archives, libraries, museums, publications, books, journals, and other sources from the Internet, and finally, I go to the place. There, I look at what is visible on the physical scene, architecturally, archaeologically, and also on the energy level, as the site may carry other important pieces of information, which after the encounter may or may not be transformed into ideas... I present my results here and there in journals (Ősi Gyökér, Dobogó) and through my privately published books and lectures.
I regularly lead sweat lodges and a ceremony with drumming and singing on the occasion of the New Moon, a period traditionally known as "újság" (newness).
The twists and turns of human life often bring days filled with questions and perplexity. Those who come to me at such times are guided by the "messages" of the Tarot cards, and if allowed, I help them move forward.
I have been able to get to know many sacred sites of my homeland, the northern part of the Carpathian Basin, and the crystal buds of the legacy of our ancestors who once lived here. I regularly pass on my knowledge to those who are interested during one- or several-day trips. I try to help those who come to me, to hold on to our traditions as tightly as possible and to pass them on authentically.

Helene Lindmark (Saami)
My name is Helene Lindmark. I come from Sápmi — the Indigenous Sami lands across Sweden, Finland, and northern Russia. For many years I have mentored young Sami and represented our people globally, speaking the voice of Mother Earth, the ancestral wisdom carried in our land.
I serve as a Wisdom Keeper, Grandmother, and Guardian of the Earth’s voice, honoring an ancient culture rooted in deep connection with nature—fire, water, land, and spirit. My heritage includes Sami family lines on both sides, as well as Finnish and Russian ancestors.
I recently completed the first module of FIMI’s Global Leadership School for Indigenous Women. I believe deeply in the Sami right to self‑determination in health care, especially in the context of the “Green Shift.” I was born with sacred gifts, and in mid‑life I fully commit to walking this path, carrying ancestral knowledge forward through teachings, rituals, and sharing.
My spiritual journey began in Liikavaara, a village south of Gällivare in Swedish Sápmi—now destroyed by mining. From childhood, nature and elders imparted to me visions, wisdom, and a rich inner world. In the late 1990s, a return to my homeland awakened everything I had left behind. My father reminded me: “Helene, you are not your certificates—you are your roots.” From that moment, I embraced my true calling.
I am a mother of five and grandmother of one. Professionally, I have a background in social care, service and psychiatric trauma work. I serve in organizations such as: Shamish Wisdom Forums, Seeds, Earth Mother Mission, Water Rights Community, COP26 Indigenous Delegation, and UN+50 Stockholm—acting as spokesperson, Elder, and Earth representative.
My message: “Let us unite in our hearts, honour our gifts, walk together as children of Mother Earth—praying, standing firmly and becoming one voice for the world.”

Bv Suddhadvaiti Swami
Maharaja was born Guy Bouchié de Belle in 1953 into an ancient French aristocratic family, holding the title of Baron. From a young age, he aspired to become a Catholic priest, but his spiritual path took a different direction when he began practicing yoga at the age of 14. This led him to turn towards the East for spiritual fulfillment.
He studied and practiced Buddhism, and later Kriya Yoga in India, before embarking on the path of bhakti in 1973. In 1974, he received diksa initiation from Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada under the name Jayantakrid das, becoming one of Prabhupada’s earliest French disciples.
For ten years, he studied closely under his beloved siksa-guru, Srila Gour Govinda Swami, who is recognized as one of Srila Prabhupada’s most eminent disciples. After Srila Gour Govinda Swami’s passing in 1996, he continued to receive siksa (instruction) from Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, who affectionately gave him the nickname Jayanta-Krishna.
In March 2008, after thirty-five years of practice and study on the path of bhakti, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja awarded him the renounced order of sannyasa, giving him the name Bhaktivedanta Suddhadvaiti Swami.
Maharaja’s vast knowledge and many years of teaching experience allow him to present even the most esoteric aspects of India’s ancient wisdom in a way that is both engaging and accessible to his audience. His sense of humor, friendly and empathetic nature, and deep understanding of human psychology make his lectures easy to absorb and highly relatable.
In his previous ashrams, Maharaja served as the head of a large family, giving him firsthand insight into the challenges of practicing bhakti-yoga within family life in the modern age. He is also skilled in communication techniques and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and he is always available for one-on-one counseling, workshops, and seminars.

Toroa Aperahama (New-Zealand)
"Tena Koutou Katoa, nga mihi Aroha A Maori greeting of Love to you all" Raised traditionally by his Beloved Grandmother Te Wharehau, Toroa Aperahama is a New Zealand Maori elder (Pakeke), Jade, Bone and Timber Carver (Kai Whakaiiro), and Haka Teacher (Kai Haka). He has worked directly with his Tupuna (Ancestors) all his Life and walks both sides of the Physical and Spiritual Worlds (Te Taha Tinana - Te Taha Wairua) Toroa was also trained by his Grandmother in traditional ancient healing from before the "discovery" of herbal healing, based on sound. Speaking/chanting in his ancient language activates the healing energies. He shares his tribal upbringing and principles by retelling the stories passed down to him by his Grandmother and Elders of the village of his Ancestors' journeys, exploits, history, myths, legends etc. Toroa is of the belief that through the sharing of his Maori culture and traditions he is not only exposing the people to his traditions but also reconnecting the people he meets here in Europe to their own Ancient culture, and helping them reclaim their identity as Tangata Whenua/People of the Land, which doesn't represent man made borders. Over the years he has mentored many people in their understanding, and helped them connect, with their Physical and Spiritual sides, within today's lifestyle.

Carola Esparza
Condor, Guardian of the Ancient Prayer
Carola Esparza is originally from Chile, born at the foot of the Andes Mountains. She carries in her body the living blend of Mapuche roots and mestizo heritage — a result of both the meeting and the conflict between worlds. For more than two decades, she has walked with deep spiritual commitment, guided by the memory of the Earth, the listening of the heart, and the call of her feminine lineage.
For 25 years, she has cultivated a close relationship with Mapuche grandmother Rosa Huenufil, accompanying her in numerous ceremonies and learning from her the sacred ways of asking permission, giving thanks, and praying with humility and presence.
Her medicine is expressed through song, silence, circles, fire, water, and word. She accompanies individual and collective processes through the vision of embodied prayer, a path where spirituality is lived through the body, in community, and in everyday life. She has shared her prayer in various gatherings and spiritual festivals in Europe, especially in the Netherlands, where she has been invited as a wisdom keeper in ceremonies such as KIVA – Call of the Wisdom Keepers.
From the vision of the Condor — symbol of the South, the heart, and the spirit — Carola weaves bridges between peoples and traditions, reminding us that the sacred lives in simplicity, in deep listening, and in returning to our roots.

Tobias Heinrichs (Germany)
Born in 1959, married, father of five children.
Tobias lived for 8 years on the Pine Ridge Reservation in Lakota Sioux, South Dakota. He was adopted by the Chipps (Woptura) family, who are in the lineage of healing people. It was there that Tobias was introduced to the Lakota culture, traditions and healing rituals, especially the culture of this family. He was taught these rituals for years and was commissioned by his mentor to bring them to Germany.
Tobias has been working with these rituals since 2000, helping people on their personal journeys and in their communities, and passing on his knowledge. He organizes smudge huts, takes people on vision quests and holds individual healing rituals. Tobias hosts a Stone Dance (similar to the Sundance) once a year, where many people gather for an intense time of communion, introspection and prayer.
Évente egyszer Kőtáncot rendez (a Naptánchoz hasonlóan), ahol sokan összegyűlnek egy intenzív közösségre, önvizsgálatra és imára.
Tobias has a vision that these are important times to share these teachings. He trains people to be able to hold their own sweat lodge and canupa services in their communities. She also does counselling, working with elements of TA analysis, systems-based family therapy, Imago couples dialogue and The Work, among others.

Zoltán Sólyomfi-Nagy
I am an ethnographer, cultural anthropologist, teacher, songwriter, poet, and the founding director of the Ancestral Spiritual Source Workshop. I began my practical study of the shamanic (tátos) tradition in 1991. I have been teaching this knowledge since the autumn of 1997, under the name of ANCIENT SOURCE SPIRITUAL SCHOOL. I have traveled to the United States five times (each year from 1996-2000) and once to Canada (2016), where I experienced the contemporary life of the indigenous people on and off various Indian reservations. I have participated in sweat lodge ceremonies (also in Hungary since 1983), which I was taught to lead after I completed the requirements. I have performed the Sun Dance Ceremony four times with Lakotas, and twenty times at home. I have travelled to India three times and to Central Asia many times. In March 2004, my first book of poems was published under the title "Starhawk" (Szenzár publishing house), followed by the second volume "Göncöl szekerén" (Püski publishing house) at the end of 2007, and in 2020, my collected volume of poems and lyrics under the title "Vártalak" (I am Waiting for You) will be published.

Andreas Jackisch
I had my first spiritual experiences and insights exactly 45 years ago. While studying to become an art teacher in Leipzig, I met two important yoga and Hindu teachers from India (Mandjit Singh Gill and Vanas Narayana Rao), who taught me over a period of three years. Exactly 35 years ago, while travelling through America, I met the Lakota medicine man Leonard Crow Dog. He introduced me to spiritual, traditional Native American ceremonies. Since then, I have accompanied the medicine men (shamans) Devalon Small Legs (Blackfoot), Bruce Starlight (Tsuut'ina) and Hwiemtun (Cowichan). They taught me their traditions, their songs, their ceremonies and the Native American way of thinking. I followed what they call the ‘Red Path’. This meant not only participating in countless sweat lodge ceremonies, but also completing the vision quest and their sun dances . After five years of active ‘teaching,’ I received my first initiation, which entitles me to lead sweat lodges. Through Bruce Starlight and Devalon Small Legs, I received another initiation after four sun dances in the Blackfoot tradition , which allows me to lead vision quests. On many of my travels, I met various spiritually-minded people in different countries whose tradition is the Roma culture. They helped me to find my own authenticity in my spiritual work. My encounter with Zoltán Sólyomfi-Nagy 25 years ago marked the beginning of a significant deepening of my knowledge and spiritual work. I had the honour of participating eight times as a sun dancer in the sun dances he led according to Hungarian tradition. Encounters and experiences in India, the country of origin of my ancestors, which I was able to visit seven years ago, rooted me deeply in new spiritual dimensions. A return trip to this country for the Great Maha Kali Puja Ceremony brought me to a special Kali priestess who introduced me to the knowledge, understanding and actions of a Kali ceremony and connected me to her through an initiation. As a result, I also conduct Maha Kali ceremonies and related trance and healing ceremonies. tanulmányaim során Lipcsében két jelentős indiai jóga- és hindu tanárt (Mandjit Singh Gill és Vanas Narayana Rao) ismertem meg, akik három éven keresztül tanítottak.
Pontosan 35 évvel ezelőtt, egy amerikai utazásom során találkoztam Leonard Crow Dog lakota gyógyítóval. Ő vezetett be a spirituális, hagyományos indián szertartások világába. Ettől az időtől kezdve éveken át kísértem a gyógyítókat (sámánokat) Devalon Small Legs-t (Blackfoot), Bruce Starlight-ot (Tsuut’ina) és Hwiemtun-t (Cowichan). Ők tanítottak meg a hagyományaikra, dalaikra, szertartásaikra és az indián gondolkodásmódra. Követtem azt, amit ők a „Vörös Útnak” neveznek. Ez nemcsak számtalan cserga (izzasztókunyhó)-szertartáson való részvételt jelentett, hanem látomáskereséseket és a nap táncain való részvételt is.
Öt év aktív „oktatás” után kaptam meg az első beavatásomat, amely feljogosított csergák vezetésére.
Bruce Starlight és Devalon Small Legs révén, a Blackfoot-hagyományban végzett négy nap tánca után egy újabb beavatást kaptam, amely lehetővé teszi számomra a látomáskeresés szertartások vezetését.
Sok utazások során, különböző országokban, megismertem olyan spirituális utón járó embereket, akiknek hagyománya a roma kultúra. Hitelességemet spirituális munkámban rajtuk keresztül találtam meg.
Sólyomfi-Nagy Zoltánnal való találkozásom 25 évvel ezelőtt nagyban elmélyítette a tudásomat és spirituális munkámat. Számomra nagy megtiszteltetés, hogy nyolc szór vehettem részt a magyar hagyományok szerint tartott naptáncon, amit ö vezetett.
Őseim szülőföldjén, Indiában szerzett találkozások és tapasztalatok, ahová hét évvel ezelőtt juthattam el, mélyen meggyökereztettek új spirituális dimenziókban. Egy újabb utazásom ebbe az országba, a Nagy Maha Kali Puja szertartásra, elvezetett egy különleges Kali-papnőhöz, aki bevezetett a Kali-szertartás tudásába, megértésébe és gyakorlataiba, és egy beavatással összekötött vele. Ezáltal Maha Kali szertartásokat, valamint az azokhoz kapcsolódó transz- és gyógyító szertartásokat is vezetek.

Sammo Lusa
Sammo Lusa, born in Buenos Aires, based in Berlin. I teach because I love dancing, because dance is probably the only thing that has kept me sane and happy in my life and I want to share it with other people. I began teaching and worked primarily in Argentina - Buenos Aires with children. I have twenty year of practice teaching dance therapy based rehabilitation. I have been the director of the RT biodanza school in Berlin since 2014 where I am bringing forward the legacy of Rolando Toro. My teaching works from the understanding that our moving selves are shaped in, with, and alongside cultural forces, histories, and nature .. Biodanza - Ars Magna The Art of Healing „ Most of us suffer from an excess of civilization in these modern times. The modern way of life causes in us again and again frightening thoughts and feelings, which turn into stress in our body (tensions and dissociations). This vicious circle in which we are all stuck weakens and destroys life. Biodanza is a system of emotional integration and organic renewal that invites us to transform our lifestyle and acknowledge our healing potential. On the other hand, it also invites us to accept responsibility for our state of health. In Biodanza, dance and loving encounters are sources of integration, healing and development. During this Gathering we recognise the healing power of dance and music and our potential to create healthy lifestyles that multiply life and love.

Andrea Pigassi Segovia
I was born in Brazil, raised in Chile, and found home in Hungary with my life partner. My path has never followed a script — it’s been an improvised dance between cultures, languages, and landscapes of the soul.
I don’t fully belong anywhere, and that gives me freedom. I studied sociology, but it was the body, the land, the rituals and the encounters that truly taught me. Biodanza came to me as a whisper and became a lifeline — dancing to remember, to heal, to come back to center. I work with the body because it holds our deepest memories, the ones that words can’t contain.
I walk with the guidance of Mayan and Toltec wisdom. I’m inspired by fire, the drum, silence, and the tribe. I don’t seek absolute truths — I seek real spaces of connection and transformation.
Today I co-organize gatherings like Napszarvas Sundeer, where people from all walks of life come together to remember what really matters. My purpose is simple and radical: to offer spaces where we can be authentic, free, and alive. No masks. No excuses.

Szilágyi Áron a Nemzetközi Doromb Társaság elnökségi tagja, a Magyar Dorombfesztiválok főszervezője és a Nemzetközi Doromb Kongresszus programbizottságának tagja. A Magyarországon egyedülálló Leskowsky Hangszermúzeum igazgatója. Áron a Jewʼsharpot szólóművészként játssza, játszik és menedzseli a Zoord zenekarokat és különböző zenei projekteket, workshopokat tart világszerte és világzenei fesztiválokat, rendezvényeket szervez. Röviden a hosszú történet… Szilágyi Áron 1977-ben született Szilágyi Zoltánnak, Magyarország egyetlen dorombjátékosának első fiaként. Háromévesen már tudott játszani a hangszeren, de 16 éves korában kezdett komolyan foglalkozni vele. Áron 1997 óta aktív tagja a nemzetközi JH mozgalomnak, és rendszeres vendége a nemzetközi fesztiváloknak. Ezeken a fesztiválokon mélyen inspirálták a többi virtuóz játékos különböző stílusai és játéktechnikái. Mély inspirációt kapott a jakut Spiridon Shishigin és a svájci extravagáns Anton Bruhin spirituális JH zenéjétől.
Áron 1998 óta részt vesz az összes nemzetközi doromb fesztiválon és kongresszuson. A 6. Nemzetközi Dorombfesztivál főszervezője volt Kecskeméten. 1999 óta aktív támogatója és producere a fúziós világzenének. Ő hozta létre Magyarország első elektronikus világzenei zenekarát, a Navrangot. 2006-ban megalapította a világszerte ismertté vált, egyedi hangzású doromb-beatbox-didgeridoo triót, az Airtist. 2015-ben létrehozta a Zoord zenekart, amely a hagyományos magyar zenét ötvözi az erőteljes, trance-es doromb groove-okkal. Ez a projekt három kontinensen is turnézott már. Áron számos országban jó kapcsolatot ápol fesztiválszervezőkkel, kultúr diplomatákkal, rendezvényszervezőkkel. Egyedi, modern, dinamikus, de színes, az ősök örökségét ötvöző és tiszteletben tartó játékstílusa emberek ezreit hozta közel a dorombhoz. Játéka több mint 30 lemezen hallható, közreműködött színházi darabokban, komponált balettzenét, játszott mega-show-kban arénákban, és gyakran látható különböző televíziós műsorokban. Eddig három szólóalbumot is készített. Decemberi minifesztiválja, a Global Vibes, mára a magyarországi és néhány külföldi „hivatalos” doromb éves ünnepévé vált.
A Hangszermúzeum vezetése, zenei projektek lebonyolítása mellett Áron doromb online boltot üzemeltet, doromb blogot ír, előadásokat tart iskolákban, oktatóvideókat készít. Szilágyi Áron elkötelezett híve a dorombnak és a doromb mozgalomnak. Úgy véli, hogy ez a hangszer több harmóniát és békét hoz az emberek életébe, ezért minél több embernek kellene játszani rajta, ismerni. Minden látszólag szerteágazó tevékenysége ezt a célt szolgálja.

Dr. Ágnes Kerezsi
Chief museologist of the Europe Collection of the Museum of Ethnography until my retirement of the Museum of Europe. For decades, my research has focused on the pre-Christian beliefs of Finno-Ugric peoples, and the and related rituals. My fieldwork among our linguistic relatives began in 1989 and participated in 16 expeditions
until 2008. 1 expedition to the Marik, resp. 7 times with the Udmurts and Votians, 7 times with the Eastern Hattians and Votians. and 1 time in the North Hantic. During my fieldwork I have mainly the traces of the pre-Christian religions of the peoples studied, their associated rituals and customs,
as well as analyses of changes. It was a very formative experience for me when, in the early 1990s, I spent three or four hours helicopter ride back 5 or 600 years in history and reached a Northwest Siberia, where at that time there was nothing but tents, hunting and fishing communities, and families living according to the beliefs of their ancestors. Their sacred leader was the shaman. Today these families have several SUVs, mobile phone networks and and computers. Why have people been doing this work for decades? On the one hand, they want to realise the the scientific vision that got him started in this field. On the other hand, I want to give back to them a little bit of the good they've given me, a little bit of the help they've given me, and help and help them spread the word to Europe and the world. or Udmurts in the European part - who also have places and families
like that, with whom I have a very deep and close friendship. Now it's getting easier, because nowadays they also have the Internet, they chat with each other on Facebook in their mother tongue or they can post news and events on the web, on Facebook, events and photos that can be posted anywhere in a matter of seconds. When I started this career,
I was none of this was working. And last but not least, I feel it's a kind of mission to help the small Finno-Ugric peoples of Russia language, traditions and culture of these small Russian-speaking Finno-Ugric peoples.
With my activities in the Sundeer , I can perhaps contribute to this objective to the realisation of this objective.

Curiosity has driven me for many years to get to know the reality beyond rationality more and more deeply. With this knowledge, here and now, I can influence our life and our world. Brain control, Reiki master-teacher, Hypnocoach, Atlantean magic, Spiritual medicine, Energy medicine, Aura-Soma, Family planning, ColorGenetics and the cultivation of Khanty-Hungarian sacred rites and shamanic methods sharpen my perception. My whole life has been accompanied by an intense interest and study in rational thinking and beyond thoughts, metaphysics and psychology. In 2012, I came into contact with the Feldmár Institute, where I participated in the classes, lectures and school of Hungarian-born Canadian psychologist and therapist András Feldmár. Where ethics is concerned, how we treat each other is most important. With the head of the Institute, Dorka Bükki, who passed away 2 years ago, I led an 'on-going' group and workshop for 1 year, seeing the effectiveness of which, since then I hold individual and group sessions using several methods. Mystery has been a part of my life since childhood. I was born into a Christian family, where it was natural to consecrate an apartment, celebrate holidays, and pray as a transcendent connection to the one above us. Going outside and beyond the church framework, getting to know and living the diverse transcendent experiences of the world, is still a flow in me to this day. In my life, I had a near-death experience and several world-border crossings. These events and their impact inspired me to learn alternative healing methods and techniques in order to learn about our human life and our possibilities. After Brain Control, I learned energy medicine, spirit medicine, divination, connection with dead souls, leading ceremonies and many other methods in Atlantean magic. I graduated as a hypnotherapist from the National Guild of Hypnotists. (I can use it as a hypnocoach in Hungary) With my family and system affirmations, Aura-Soma, Color Consultant and ColorGenetics qualifications, I also hold group and individual affirmations. Almost a decade ago, I had closer experiences on my 'shamanic' journey. Under the wings of the teachings, school, retreats of János Oguz Majercsik and the ceremonies and teachings of Zoltán Solyomfi-Nagy. In 2018, I connected with the representative of Eastern Khanty traditions, Vitaly Sigiljetov, to the Bear ceremony he led, which was connected to the Bear ceremony of the Eastern Khanty and took place at the same time in Hungary. The effect was shocking and unforgettable. Since then, we have become not only friends, but also spiritual companions. In the past years, we spent a lot of time together, researching our Hungarian traditions, rites, and ethnographic memories, comparing them with the similarities and depths of the Hantian rites. We held, and continue to hold, individual and community ceremonies and lectures. Already 4th time on Sundeer! I would like and would like to pass on this much accumulated knowledge and treasure to others.

For many years, my curiosity has driven me to delve deeper into understanding the reality beyond rationality. With this knowledge, I aim to have an impact on our lives and our world here and now. Through the practice of various methods such as Agykontroll, Reiki master-teacher training, Hypnocoaching, Atlantisian magic, Spiritual healing, Energy healing, Aura-Soma, Family constellations, ColorGenetics, and Hanti-Hungarian sacred rituals, as well as shamanic methods, I sharpen my senses. Throughout my life, I've been accompanied by both rational thinking and an intense interest in metaphysics and psychology. In 2012, I connected with the Feldmár Institute, where I participated in sessions, lectures, and school activities led by András Feldmár, a Hungarian-Canadian psychologist and therapist, focusing on ethics and how we treat each other being paramount. Alongside the late Dorka Bükki, I led an "on-going" group and workshop for a year, and seeing its effectiveness, I have since conducted individual and group sessions using multiple methods. Mystery has been part of my life since childhood. Born into a Christian family, practices such as house blessings, celebration of holidays, and prayer as a transcendent connection to the divine were natural. Beyond the confines of church structures, the exploration and experience of diverse transcendent experiences continue to flow within me. Throughout my life, I've had near-death experiences and crossed several thresholds of existence, inspiring me to learn alternative healing methods and techniques for understanding human life and possibilities. Following Agykontroll, I delved into energy healing, spiritual healing, divination, communication with departed souls, ritual leadership, and much more within Atlantisian magic. I obtained certification as a hypnotherapist from the National Guild of Hypnotists, and with qualifications in Family and Systemic Constellations, Aura-Soma, Color Consultant, and ColorGenetics, I conduct both group and individual sessions. For nearly a decade, my experiences on the "shamanic" path have become more profound. Under the guidance of Oguz Majercsik János and Solyomfi-Nagy Zoltán, I've learned from their teachings, schools, and retreats. In 2018, I connected with Vitalij Szigiljetov, representing Eastern Hanti traditions, participating in the Bear Ceremony, deeply affecting and unforgettable. Since then, we've not only become friends but also spiritual companions. Over the years, we've spent a significant amount of time together, researching Hungarian traditions, rituals, and ethnographic memories, comparing them with Hanti rituals' similarities and depths. We've conducted individual and community ceremonies and lectures, including at Napszarvas, now for the fourth time! I wish to share this accumulated knowledge and treasure with others. +36209147487.

Halász Kriszta
'My world view, my point of view is animistic. At the level of my mission, I am a spiritual leader, a shamanic healer - I received initiations for this, my name in Nahuatl is CIHUACUAUHTLI - but in worldly life, I am a teacher and servant.''My greatest teacher is Life, my deepest initiator is Death. My natal chart predestined me to be a spiritual guide - Cihuacuauhtli – and I was initiated into this journey by the Great Mystery of Death in 2011 with the Animi mission: The Animi Beauty System®, Animi Sould Cosmetics®, a paradigm-changing cosmetic professional reform: contact therapy, beauty and integrity treatment through the connections between the skin and the soul. It is based on my collected certifications (primary school teacher, individual psychology, mental health diplomas, master's exam, etc.), generated from my shamanistic animistic worldview - a part of which I learned in this life from my Mayan/Aztec and Inca masters, and a bulk of it I receive as messages of my ancient being in my conscious dreams, in the form of animi songs, poems, visions, teachings, and ceremonies. Life took me to River Danube, where I live as a sacred guardian of the water element with my husband, with whom we hold singing-spiritual animistic ceremonies together so that people can move into their hearts and feel good in their skin. In Sundeer we will have a soul-cleansing Animi Holy Onion ceremony.

Kritjan Jurkas
Slovenian flute maker, musician, teacher.
At Sundeer, sound and silence weave a path to presence. In recent years, I have dedicated myself to crafting and playing Native American style flutes—simple instruments that teach patience, deep listening, and connection with something greater than ourselves. a hang és a csend a jelenlét ösvényévé válnak. Az elmúlt években az Észak-Amerikai stílusú indián furulyák készítésének és megszólaltatásának szenteltem magam – ezek az egyszerű hangszerek türelemre, mély figyelemre és a nálunk nagyobbhoz való kapcsolódásra tanítanak.
Each flute is shaped with care: in wood, form, and tone. No two are alike. This journey—between technical precision and intuitive flow—is what keeps inspiring me.
To me, the sound of the flute is not something I produce, but something that moves through me. A bridge between the inner and outer world.
The Native American style flute is beautifully simple to learn. No musical background is needed—only an open heart and the willingness to truly listen. In that simplicity lies a quiet teaching: that maybe, just maybe, life can be simpler than we make it.
At Sundeer, I will share my relationship with the flute, breath, and sound awareness—as a path back to presence. You are warmly invited to listen—not only to the flute, but to yourself.

Zoltan Gaál
Sweatlodge Leader & Dancer in the Hungarian Sundance
Zoltán Gaál’s journey is one of deep personal transformation. As a young man, he became involved in crime, but at age 18, everything changed when he began his spiritual path through mind control practices.

Over the years, Zoltán became a sweatlodge leader and an active dancer in the Hungarian Sundance. Nature-based spirituality became central to his life, and he went on to form his own spiritual community. In recent years, he has felt a strong calling to focus more on family life, holding fewer ceremonies and placing his energy into building harmony at home.
At Sundeer, Zoltán will lead a powerful sweatlodge ceremony (cserga), bringing his deep experience and heartfelt presence. His intention is to awaken shared consciousness, weave together individual perspectives, and bring inner pearls to the surface.
As he shares:
“My intention is the blossoming of collective consciousness. Connecting individual viewpoints, bringing the inner pearls to light.”
„A szándékom a közös tudat felvirágozása. Az egyéni nézőpontok összekötése, a belső gyöngyök felszínrehozása.”
In his own family rituals, the mother, father, and children form a healing circle as equals, singing and healing one another. Through his presence at Sundeer, Zoltán invites us into this spirit of unity, simplicity, and deep reconnection.

During retreats and workshops, and through her own healing journey, Edina has created women’s healing songs. She sings and plays music with her musician friends, tuning into the group and opening a clear channel of shared love and support — creating a safe space for transformation, cleansing, and healing.
Since 2013, Edina has participated as a medium in healing ceremonies with various shamans. She also offers individual healing sessions in her Healing Yurt in Nagyszékely.

Wieteke Broken
Wieteke Brocken (The Netherlands) works as a trance-healing medium, supporting processes of transformation and healing.
In a trance state, she surrenders herself to become a “hollow bone” for Nana Oeth (the Ancient Universal Grandmother) and other balancing energies to come through. This gift also has its roots in our ancient European heritage, to which she feels deeply connected.
She collaborates with Ragnar Johnsen in the projects Walking the Path of the Heart and Path of the Hero. In addition, she shares her healing circles and private sessions.
Through this work, she serves to support the natural flow of life energy, helping people “return home” to themselves and their hearts — to find balance, remember who they truly are, and become heroes through the path of their own hearts.

Yhonatan Ale-Yahav
Musican at Yishama
A Yishama-t 2014-ben alapította Yhonatan Ale-Yahav.
Yishama was founded in 2014 by Yhonatan Ale-Yahav.
Its beginnings trace back to a small house in the Carmel Mountains of Israel, where Yhonatan immersed himself deeply in the world of steel and its vibrations. After two years of intensive research and experimentation, the Yishama Pantams were born—handcrafted steel instruments capable of creating healing and harmonious sounds. Since then, Yishama has become known worldwide, offering a unique musical and therapeutic experience rooted in the power of steel.
They will also be present at Sundeer, enriching the gathering with their enchanting sounds and healing vibrations.

Concerts
Yamuna Aqua
During their European tour, the two-piece Colombian band will also perform at the Sunstar, where they will play a selection of their own compositions.
Yamuna Aqua is a Colombian female duo that creates healing and transformative musical experiences, drawing from ancient traditions.
The project was born from the meeting of two women walking the Camino Rojo (Red Path), who through their music bring the sacred sounds of the jungle into communities.
E két nő találkozásából született, akik a Camino Rojo (Vörös Út) ösvényén járva kapcsolódtak össze, és zenéjükön keresztül a dzsungel szent hangjait hozzák el a közösségekbe.
Through their medicine songs, ritual instruments, and the sacredness of cacao and the water element, they open a space where hearts soften, bodies move, and communal energy flows freely. Their concerts are not merely performances—they are living offerings, sacred altars woven with sound, vibration, and intention.
Koncertjeik nem csupán előadások – élő felajánlások, szakrális oltárok, amelyeket hang, rezgés és szándék sző át.
Inspired by their ceremonial experiences in Colombia and Brazil, and supported by years of spiritual practice, they create a unique journey that celebrates life, soul, and the Earth.
At Sundeer, with their soul-touching songs, they invite us into a circle where we can remember, give thanks, and rejoice together.

Through their voices, they weave intimate threads of identity, community and memory, inviting listeners into a space where the ancient and the contemporary meet.
At Sundeer, their songs become living vessels — carriers of memory, healing and cultural continuity.

Earth Jam (Hungary)
"We create a high-vibe space for trance and dance, using a blend of ancient and modern sound tools."
On the final night at Sundeer, Saturday after sunset, Earth Jam will bring their powerful rhythm to close our gathering in a moment of deep connection and celebration. This night has become a sacred tradition over the years — a space where the heartbeat of ancient drums meets the energy of ecstatic dance, weaving together souls in joyful union.
This celebration honors the entire journey — the five days of rituals, ceremonies, healing, and the building of community and cohesion. From the place of music and dance, Earth Jam carries the story of our shared transformation, inviting us to embody the collective spirit that has grown among us.
Led by some of Hungary’s finest musicians, guardians of timeless sounds and ancestral rhythms, Earth Jam creates a vibrant and living ritual. Their music calls us home — to the roots of the earth, to the flow of life, to the sacred pulse that unites us all.
Join us as we surrender to the music, the dance, and the magic of this unforgettable night.
