How often do we feel disconnected from life? How often do we feel disconnected from ourselves? In the modern world, we are constantly exposed to a false sense of scarcity: we believe there isn´t enough time, enough resources, enough love.

But all it takes is a change of perspective for us to realize that’s a lie. The universe is abundant. The universe is abundance. We only need to look around and reconnect again. Ground ourselves by remembering our roots that go deep down to the earth we´re standing on.

Roots and rituals are a way to escape the illusion of not having enough or being enough. Through nature´s elements, we can awaken our sense of self and belong, and feel at home again.

Earth

Earth holds and recharges. The earth represents everything we can touch and feel. Mother Earth grows life and feeds us all. When we feel out of place or like we don´t belong, when we feel scared or unsure about our upcoming decisions, our energy might be indicating that we need to ground our spirit. When we take a moment to walk barefoot on the grass or sand, pamper ourselves with a clay treatment, or with a wholesome Cacao Ceremony, we can experience our energetic roots expanding all the way down to the very center of the Earth, bringing back the energy and the calm we are missing. Look down at our feet and be grateful for where we're standing and the body we inhabit. That's where home is.

Water

Water represents our emotions. More than half of us are water. We free ourselves when we allow water to cleanse and release everything that isn't serving us. When our emotions overwhelm us, immersing our bodies in water, like the ocean or a warm bath, can help us recalibrate and rest. Water also nourishes and restores not only the human race but the whole planet. If we remember to bring more of it into our lives, we will find ourselves feeling more at peace and balanced.

Fire

Fire transforms and transmutes. There is fire within our soul and there is fire in the Sun. There is also fire inside our planet and in billions of stars. When the burden of our worries gets too heavy to carry, our passion and drive can be affected too, that is why it's important to pause and reflect on what needs to be released and reconsidered. Through heat, flames and desires, the fire element activates the stagnant energy in order for it to free whatever is no longer necessary.

One of the most beautiful ways of doing so is with a life-changing Temazcal Ceremony, where we can experience being inside Pachamama´s loving womb, contacting our ancestors through the warm wisdom of this medicine, taking us on a journey of rebirth.

Wind

Wind is freedom and life. Thoughts, music, storms, smoke, breathing and even the sound of our voice, the air element is everywhere. We might not be able to see it, but we can certainly feel it. It is nature´s element of change and authenticity. We invite you to connect with it through mantras and healing music while paying attention to your own breathing, observing the sensations of inhaling and exhaling, expanding lungs and slower heart rate. There is nothing like being in the present, right here, right now.

According to Buddhism, there is a fifth element: Aakash, which translates to infinite space. Aakash is the space where all the other elements exist.

Here at Delek, we have created a place to align these elements and bring them into communion. We'd love you to be a part of this experience, not just a spectator.

We hope to see you soon.

Love and blessings.
