EP#3 - Aura & Manu - Go beyond your limits - inspirations from life and Camino de Santiago - Part 1

Enjoy the first episode titled “Go beyond your limits – inspiration from life and Camino de Santiago", where we can adventure with them to the depth of the soul and meaning of life.

Aura and Manu met during their Camino de Santiago walk in the summer of 2019. A man with the roots from Germany and South America and a woman from Estonia met in Spain. No plan. Destiny in the making? During the journey they had many spiritual insights and openings and one of these highlights was activating Aura's singing talent, which had been kept hidden for so many years. Both have lived their lives doing the “normal” things from Manu's military service as well Aura's marriage and divorce in her previous life, but recently the focus has been more on the holistic and deeper ways of finding meaning, matter and thrive and co-create. When stars are aligned – magic starts to weave a new story, new reality and possibilities activating the divine life purposes.

Longer introduction to the guests: 

AURA had a bit different upbringing than most - her family lived deep in the forest of South-Estonia with no TV, no radio, artificial entertainment, wild nature and wild animals part of the everyday environment, her parents were strongly committed to their own spiritual path, practicing energy healing, plant-based medicine, etc. And in that spirit, she and her 4 siblings were brought up. That period has left a strong imprint on her.

For the past 15 years, she has been on a personal yoga practice journey, including 10 years of instructing yoga classes, both on land and up in the air, also prenatal yoga classes, which is something very close to her heart. Aura is a mother of 3, a freelance artist and juggles with many roles, but first and foremost is a WOMAN - walking her own path, following her deeper calling, wherever it takes her.

Deep-diving into the depths and the heights of the mystical phenomenon of being a Woman and learning about the many aspects of it has always been a significant part of her calling and journey. And there has always been a profound thirst to understand and experience the magnificent dynamic of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine and the co-creation in-between. Throughout the years she has given speeches and organized events around these topics. Personal growth, expanding into one's highest potential, and staying true to herself while staying connected to the divine and fully trust the flow of Life is what drives, fascinates and inspires her.

MANU's roots are both from Germany and South America. Not necessarily the easiest heritage to merge within oneself. Growing up in conservative Germany, feeling of being different, not truly belonging there, left him restless and with a hunger for something else, something true, something real, more meaningful.

Growing up he was a rebel, fighting against everything, against the meaningless dull rat-race lives around him, having no one to show him the deeper meaning of Life. He joined the German army and became a professional soldier with a 12-year contract. He was very good at it, his strong masculine aspect fully flourished in that environment. He became a sergeant and belonged into one of the toughest group - the mountain troops, coping with extreme conditions, always pushing their limits - both mentally and physically. But at one point Manu realized this is not his life and he is not willing to spend his life being a soldier on someone's command. He made a decision to make a change, got out of the contract, and went to his first Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain. That changed everything.

After that, he decided to follow the calling to pursue music and to travel to his roots in South-America. There he learned about plant-medicine and energy work from shamans, also dived into the world of yoga, and got his yoga-teacher license, instructed yoga and body movement classes in Peru. During all this, he became in better contact with the sacred feminine. He continued traveling, lived in Australia with the aborigines, learning from them, meeting strong inspiring role models, which changed his life and he found his tribe, scattered all over the world. He belongs everywhere and nowhere, moving like the wind, following its silent calling.
Manu did Camino all together four times, challenging himself more and more, to face his deepest fears, to fully know himself, to grow into a Man, to find his deeper truth and the connection to the divine. He carries a strong masculine Warrior archetype within. His way of walking one's path in such an uncompromised manner started to inspire people around him to make a change, to break free, to follow their hearts calling. While coaching and motivating others, writing and playing music is still the dominant self-expression and self-realization way for him.
