Healing holiday Linya | september 2024
During the week of September 30th to October 4th, a group of nine people joined us for Healing Holiday—a 5-day journey of healing and inspiration at various special locations in Catalonia. Read the report in which Jarno takes you through the magical moments of the week.
How it all began
Meanwhile, more and more people have participated in our programs, with some being there from the very beginning. Our training was partly created because they asked for more knowledge after each program. Among them is Jacintha, who invited herself to visit us, and the rest immediately joined in to physically experience magical places.
A date was set for the week when most people could join. As you will read later in the story, it's always special how everything aligns at the right moment, even though you don’t realize it when planning. Synchronicity was present throughout the week, showing up in various signs and forms. In our Personal and spiritual leadership training we focus on 'self-directing your (corporate) life.' This week was an extension of that.
Utilizing the energy from the surrounding environment
After the sun worshipers found a nice spot in the shade, Astrid began explaining the impact of the area where you live, how it influences your behavior, and how you can harness this energy to your advantage.
We live in a region of Catalonia where only parties advocating for independence are in power. Traditionally, there are self-sufficient farms here, widely spaced apart. It is also the area where the Knights Templar and Cathars once lived.
What about in the place where you live? How do you live in harmony with the place where you live so that it works to your advantage? And how do you recognize signals when something just isn't working for you anymore because you've outgrown certain situations?
To fully harness the energy of this week’s new moon and solar eclipse, Astrid clarified to all participants which area of their lives this energy would influence. This allowed them to take it into account when setting or recalibrating their intentions and frameworks.
That day, we had homemade paella. Sucking the shrimp heads was not immediately a new habit for most. However, our dog, Borre, thought otherwise. After dinner, I took the guests to their accommodations: a masia (Spanish farmhouse) within walking distance from us.
Inner altar
During the healing program Forces, which is now part of the training, we worked on male and female energy. Father's Love and moederliefde. One way we achieved this was through the inner altar and doubles. I will briefly explain these concepts to provide better context for the week.
First of all, creation and manifestation. I deliberately referred to it as masculine and feminine energy. When discussing behavior and acceptance, it's common for people to name the male first, and this order is widely accepted. Similarly, many people talk about manifesting things in life. However, this is often done in the wrong order. As Astrid always says, “Everything you have in your life, you created and manifested yourself. It may not be what you want, but it comes from your own beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, which (often unconsciously) activate metaphysical laws through which you create your reality.
Mare de Déu
Did you know that in Spain, they don’t celebrate Ascension Day, but instead a day dedicated to Mary? They talk about the Madre de Dios (Mother of God) more often than about God Himself. Here, motherly love and feminine power are seen as forms of creation, corresponding to the creative power of the divine.
Another important point is how you influence the course of your life. Many people attempt to exert a positive influence through a physical altar at home, in a temple, or in church. It's important to realize that this is not entirely natural, and you should ask yourself who is in control when you place that influence outside of yourself.
"Your body is your temple, and it is your responsibility to maintain it. Your heart center is where you determine the quality of your life."
The inner altar resides within you. It is the place where your life force can blossom in its purest form. Self-acceptance, along with protecting your values and standing up for your right to live, represents the purest form of self-liberation.
Higher dimensional being and doubles
Another aspect is the realization that every human being is a higher-dimensional being. There is much discussion about a a shift to the 5th dimension and that If you do your best, you will go to heaven. With all these things, once again, the focus is placed outside of yourself, when in reality, it is all happening within you. You are meant to experience inner peace from within yourself.
Why spend an hour practicing superficial spirituality through a feel-good meditation or ayahuasca and truffles only to then hurt yourself again by facing your own reality?
By being consciously present in various dimensions and using your doubles to integrate this within yourself, you no longer need to flee. After all, life is about mastery. This also means releasing what cannot be controlled to avoid harming yourself. The Earth is a school of learning, and it’s about creating your own paradise here.
"Natural forces are beyond your control, but you possess the natural power within you to determine how you respond to them."
Visiting a Black Madonna pure energy source
To achieve this, during the healing program Forces, we worked with the energy of the Black Madonna, among other elements. As part of this healing retreat, we visited the monastery called Santuari de Lord where the Black Madonna resides. The monks at this sacred place live in silence.
To reach the monastery, you must walk along a steep path. It’s a challenging journey that demands a lot from your body. I always say, “The best friend you have in life is yourself.” This trail can make you confront your physical condition, admire breathtaking views, wrestle with frustration, and more. My request to each person was to ascend in silence and engage in a conversation with themselves about what they encountered along the way.
We then continue walking along the Cami de St. Jaume trail. San Jaume, also known as Santiago, is the patron saint of Spain. You may have heard of the most famous route associated with him: the Santiago de Compostela.
Healing with the spirits of the mountains
Near the small chapel of San Jaume, we performed the first healing session of the week. This location allowed me to work beautifully with the spirits of the mountains. We cleansed the inner altar, in part, by applying bonfire. We also activated the energy of the Emerald Mountain.
The Emerald Mountain is located in the Atmosphere of the Sphere of the Sun. This allows the quality of present emotional pain and sorrow to be transformed into redemption and acceptance.
Then I focused on updating the doubles. These are energetic doubles in other dimensions. In this case the Angelic double, Astral double, Mental double and Causal double. In this I work with the principle “as above, so below. This is somewhat different from looking outside yourself which I see many people doing. As stated earlier, “You are a higher dimensional being (as above) who has descended to earth (so below).”
Our vision is to awaken the forces within you, allowing you to find direction from inner peace. Of course, this depends on how you train yourself to harness this peace and become capable of working from this principle. The path to growth is different for each person, tailored to what is most effective for achieving optimal results.
After the healing, we walked back to the car along the rock face, following a beautiful route with stunning views of Montserrat, where the famous Black Madonna stands. We then drove to the restaurant to eat together and end the day.
Using the energy of the new moon and solar eclipse
On Wednesday, there was a powerful new moon with a solar eclipse conjunct Mercury in Libra. The new moon is always a good time to set intentions, as it marks the beginning of a new cycle. Eclipses symbolize permanent changes, bringing a corrective shift in your life.
Eclipses represent permanent change, bringing a corrective shift in your life. They unveil revelations, create plot twists, and sometimes provide the closure you didn’t even know you needed. Their energy can influence your life for up to six months.
At the same time, it is still the period of turning inward and reflecting because all the outer planets go retrograde (from Earth's point of view).
So it was perfectly convenient that this was right in the middle of the healing holiday.
Astrid finalized intentions and frameworks with everyone who wanted them, and then I guided everyone through the force field.
By letting them listen to what their body and intuition indicated:
- Which stone should you stand at?
- What attitude do you take, both physically and mentally?
- What kind of insights are you receiving?
In addition, I did a personal healing for everyone in that moment when they were busy. Those who were ready could go and do whatever they felt like for the rest of the day. The day flew by. Around 5 p.m. the last ones were done.
After everyone was finished, I placed the gems that had been brought into our circle to recharge, so they could take them home on Friday, full of energy.
Healing holiday day 4: healing in the volcano
On Thursday, we left at 8 a.m. for the volcano Santa Margarida. During the construction of our force field, we retrieved a stone from the crater here to represent the element of fire. It struck me then how many magical gates are present around this place.
Being in such a place allows you to do a healing more powerfully. By using the beings and intelligences that are there. So a perfect place to work on the various bodies and do a healing on them, so that you are more purely connected to the higher multidimensional being that you really are. You can think of light code activations, working at the DNA level with the original blueprint of the human being, and a number of other things that I can't technically explain because there are no words for it.
Explanations are not always necessary, either. The result is what really matters. I also think it is important that people themselves experience the magic they have within them. So that this can awaken and blossom.
This is partly achieved by consciously walking through the environment. This volcano is ideal for learning to recognize how energy manifests itself in nature. An easy example is when you see a tree, or trees, that don’t grow straight but instead twist and meander greatly.
The energy from the last eruptions is still strongly felt and visible here. You could almost describe it as a huge ball of electroculture. As a result, nature grows abundantly in this area. In the center of the volcano, there is an old Romanesque chapel built within a vortex. This place serves as a gateway to the inner earth
I've asked some, including Leroy, to also explore intergalactically during the healing process for certain personal insights. Leroy fully immersed himself in the energy. By the way, this level of engagement should only be pursued if you can handle it, like Leroy. Personally, I prefer to stay outside of leylines, vortexes, force fields, or dimensional gates, so that I can direct everything like a conductor. If you only wish to receive healing and aren't actively involved otherwise, choosing a location within the energy isn't a problem.
The right moment
In the beginning I already mentioned the synchronicity of the week. I noticed in everything that I had to start at a certain time. As described in my Healing Journey Thailand Space is always created for healing. What I mean by this is that no disruptive people are present.
We spent half an hour alone with our group in the crater. Only a couple intuitively joined us in silence. As soon as I finished, the usual tourists rushed back into the crater. So, seize the moment when you feel it's there. No hesitation—just act on it.
As described, on Tuesday I worked with the Emerald Mountain connected to the sun to clean up the inner altar. On Wednesday there was the solar eclipse and on Thursday we did the healing in the crater. Later Astrid saw that exactly at that time the strongest solar flare in 7 years took place. where energy—meaning information—was released. It's always special to be in the right place at the right time. Fortunately, the flare came from above and not below. 😉
Isabel was also in the right place and followed her gut. I pointed out to her the heart placed by someone during construction. She sat down against the chapel. On the spot where she sat, she made a heart in the ground with her feet. While digging it, a little stone came up in the shape of a heart.
After the healing, everyone had free time to hike in the area. After a while I ran into Danielle, Marlene, Cintha and Isabel again, sitting in a giant tree to recharge. But, wait a minute this picture looks an awful lot like the one I took on Tuesday at the restaurant where we were.
In that restaurant, we were in a separate room on the 1st floor. As I walked downstairs, a painting of a boy sitting in a giant tree caught my eye. The fact that I was able to take exactly such a picture on both days were signs for me on that day.
Well, what are you going to do after such a wonderful morning ... eat. Personally, I like to eat at restaurants with traditional Catalan cuisine. Often such restaurants are run by families. Sometimes hidden in the mountains. And you come out of nowhere to a very surprising place. And the nice thing is: here you order daily menus. You then get a three-course menu including wine or water. Choose from five starters, main courses and desserts. And with a cup of coffee or tea included, you'll spend between 20-25 euros. That makes eating out fun and affordable.
After dinner, we discussed what everyone had experienced at the volcano.
Then comes Friday, the finale of the week. At least in terms of healing, coaching and inspiration. In the morning we came together. The nice thing is that where we live there are also many hidden places where you can unwind and be absorbed in nature. Where there is a serene natural silence. With only the sound of the wind through the trees and the song of the birds.
This morning, I performed a healing by allowing the body and its doubles to heal each other. Using specific techniques, I applied the following principle: activate evolution and growth in both the body and the doubles, and then let them work on each other. This way, the healing builds in a crescendo, guiding all your systems toward the highest path of life.
Then Astrid answered the questions that arose in the group. And explained how the participants themselves can practically apply the doubles and perfect symbols in their daily lives and what benefits this offers for personal and spiritual growth.
Towards the end of the morning, it was time to say goodbye. The stones that had been placed in the force field to charge were picked up. Only Danielle had placed her children's stones in a different spot. On Wednesday, she and her sister were the first to finish at the force field, and I then explained to her that there was a magical place to be found down in the valley.
You then walk under trees that curve across the path like a gateway. When you walk under such a tree, you may experience a shift in yourself and notice that you are slowly present on earth in another dimension.
During the pick-up, Jacintha, Leroy, and Xandra came with me. It was there that Xandra recognized what I meant. From now on, this will no longer be invisible to her when she visits magical places.
To close the week, many members of the group traveled on to Barcelona to celebrate life.

How did participants experience the healing holiday?
The location where we stayed with the group was great and the conversations and moments we shared there were at least as valuable as the sessions with Jarno and Astrid. The week really deepened my understanding of working with this subject matter and I also gained some great friendships.
I also really enjoyed experiencing Jarno and Astrid when they are not in their “teacher” role. Warm and loving in their own unique way. As far as I'm concerned, we all get into a Spaceship for a few days like this every year. Thank you Astrid, Jarno and all the wonderful people I got to know this week.”
Your hospitality was boundless Astrid and Jarno. And together with our house, with lovely pool, there was a perfect balance between effort, relaxation, reflection and nostalgia. This allowed attention to all the beautiful memories. I have an intense feeling of gratitude.
I found this to be a fantastic stop on my journey of discovery, where I was allowed to be confidently introduced to all kinds of dimensions inside and outside of myself. It is a wealth and freedom to be able to be in all these worlds. I didn't need to bring your three books, because I didn't get to that at all. The inspiring conversations and also silences with everyone has stirred so much energy and love. Big hug.”
