This emphasis on community has created a vibrant international ashram in Germany, Spain and Ukraine and a worldwide community of serious seekers.
Whether you are just beginning your spiritual path or are already a seasoned practitioner, John David’s multi-layered approach to freedom can help you discover the peace and liberation you seek.
The Universal Heart Dances are inspired by Murshid Samuel Lewis (1896-1971), an American Sufi and Zen master. He created circle dances as a spiritual practice to open the heart and “find God through experience within.”
In the Open Sky Community, the dances are part of our spiritual practice and remind us that life is nothing but a joyful, energetic dance. Music has always been a great inspiration in my life. A new chapter began when I discovered mantra music, an expression of devotion, love and life!
We start in the morning focusing inside. Through yoga and meditation, we open our body and mind so that we can start fresh into a colourful day.

OUT OF FOCUS
Get a taste of the creativity that resides within you and paint by leaving traces of marble powder, liquids and pigments. It is a game with structure as well as color and requires you to let go.
Gabriele Musebrink sees art as an integral part of life and encourages her students to authentically engage in the creative process by leaving their comfort zone and courageously facing their own challenges.
Get your life energy flowing!
Qi Gong strengthens the Qi and harmonizes its flow.
Posture, movement, breathing and mental control are combined to form a harmonious unit.
We deal with the basics of Qi Gong using the “18 harmonious movements of Taiji – Qigong”.
Together we want to get into the initial flow.
Eva has been practicing Qi Gong since 2019 and leads a permanent group of like-minded people in Lünen.
A field of experimentation for intuitive and creative forms of encounter that arise from the moment, from a space of silence, innocence and curiosity. We play with music and neutral masks that amplify the expression and make the “personal” disappear. In the protected space “stage” we can surrender to the NOW.

This film gives an insight into the life and work of English spiritual teacher John David, his multi-faceted approach to freedom and how he works with the people who live with him in the Open Sky House communities. He takes the viewer on a journey through the spiritual world, starting with curiosity about oneself to understanding what true freedom is and living it in everyday life.
Singing mantras together opens the heart. The mind becomes calm and a space of silence and connection opens up. Mantras are sacred and healing sounds that have been recited and sung for thousands of years. Their great spiritual power is difficult to grasp with the mind, but we can experience them directly when we sing them.

This workshop invites you to get in touch with yourself and others in a playful and easy way. We long for moments without expectations and judgments. Together we will do playful exercises in a relaxed atmosphere to build a heartfelt connection and trust. By consciously being in the here and now with each other, we invite our nervous system to let go of stress, open up and relax in contact with others. An invitation to get to know yourself and others in a playful way and to discover a new lightness in togetherness, regardless of your experience.
Radha has been involved in yoga and tantra for many years and regularly leads evenings on the subject of mindfulness, encounter and conscious touch.
Let yourself be enveloped by the sounds of crystal singing bowls, cymbals, monochord, sansula, drums and other instruments. Follow the sound into the silence of being, from which everything arises. There, in the silence of your heart, listen to the voice of your Self and enjoy deep relaxation for body, mind and soul.
Ananda and Kali are deeply inspired by the free improvisation that happens from the silence of the moment.
