Karim is the founder of Karim Movement, a practice that weaves together manual therapy, somatic movement, breathwork, and guided dialogue to nurture vitality, clarity, and holistic balance. With over 14 years of experience—from therapeutic bodywork to leading group sessions—he brings a deep understanding of the body as a dynamic interplay of sensation, movement, and emotion. His education background and training includes yoga and somatic movement, organic movement, FRC mobility specialization, manual-kinetic therapies, Tui-Na massage, and biomechanics.
Workshop:
This workshop offers an experiential introduction to a somatic approach to movement and awareness. Participants will explore simple and effective practices, including:
- fundamentals of somatics and sensory-motor connection,
- primal movement as a way to access natural body intelligence,
- contact play in pairs to build trust, connection, and responsiveness,
- breathing techniques for relaxation, regulation, and greater flow.
The workshop is open to everyone – beginners and those with experience – who wish to improve well-being and mobility, develop greater body–emotional coherence, release tension, and gain practical tools for more effective movement and breathing in everyday life.

Psychedelic Breathwork
Psychedelic Breathwork Dejan Hrnčič
https://www.instagram.com/hrnidejan/?hl=en
Dejan first encountered the breath 7 years ago through the Wim Hof method and cold water. He has been working with energies since the age of 26. As a seeker of mysticism, who believes that everyone is their own teacher and healer, he immersed himself in the exploration of the breath. The breath became his regular practice, a foundation on which he built a strong inner pillar, and 5 years ago he began leading guided workshops. The very first one took place under his willow tree in Haloze, from where the journey continued.
In the past 5 years, he has led more than 50 ceremonies and workshops all across Slovenia. He gradually expanded his knowledge—attending sacred medicine ceremonies and later weaving the breath together with the spirit of shamanic rituals. His greatest wish is for people to breathe together in as large a number as possible, for in a group a powerful heart connection arises—something he longs to share with the whole world. For him, the breath is the holy spirit. His favorite saying is: “Let us breathe together as one great heart.”
Workshop:
You will gather and dive into the depths, where we you will surrender to the powerful technique of shamanic breathing, supported by the shamanic drum, crystal bowls, and other ceremonial instruments.
The Shamanic Breathing Ceremony is an intense, powerful yet gentle journey that, through the technique of breath and various instruments, takes you on a path of transformation and deep relaxation. In stillness, we are reminded once again that we are love and that we breathe together as one big heart.
This technique, in a completely gentle and non-invasive way, also releases DMT, which helps us gain a better understanding of our own being. At the same time, the technique increases the flow of oxygen, effectively alkalizing (deacidifying) our body, thus supporting self-healing and a higher level of energy.
It is one of the most complete and natural methods for calming the mind, strengthening the body, and releasing emotional blockages. You will discover that within each of us lies an inner healer, which can be activated in deep peace and relaxation.

She is a co-founder of the etno choir Merak and organizes kirtans & mantra singing solo and with her band.
Workshop:
At Sinergia she will teach a Vinyasa yoga flow: a fusion of movement and sound through juicy, playful, and creative flows combined with breathwork, meditation, mantra chanting, and restorative nourishing rest. The emphasis is on deep listening, awareness, becoming conscious of thought patterns and inner narratives as we practise and play with intensity around our thresholds and then witnessing the opening of the channels as a result of our efforts.

In a safe and supportive space, we will co-create spontaneous vocal expression and explore free creativity, opening the doors to a deeper connection with ourselves and with one another.

This workshop is an invitation to explore creativity in a simple, playful, and intuitive way. Guided by Klemen Orešnik, participants will be encouraged to let go of expectations, relax into the process, and allow colors and shapes to appear naturally on the canvas. The focus is not on technique or results, but on enjoying the act of creating and discovering what wants to express itself in the moment.
The experience will be supported by a unique DJ ambient set from Kitsch & Sash, blending healing frequencies and deep soundscapes that help participants drop into a meditative, flow-like state. Together, sound and painting become tools to release tension, explore emotions, and connect with inner creativity.

QiGong
Qigong refers to the practices of qigong (energy cultivation) that are part of the tradition of Shaolin martial arts. Qigong is a comprehensive system of exercises, breath control, and meditation aimed at cultivating and balancing the body’s energy known as Qi (pronounced “chee”).
Qigong encompasses a wide range of exercises and techniques that promote physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual development. Here are some key aspects of qigong:
Movements and forms: Qigong involves various gentle and flowing movements performed with focused intent and coordinated breathing. These movements help stretch and strengthen the body, improve flexibility, enhance circulation, and promote overall vitality.
Breath control: Breathing is an essential component of qigong practice. Qigong emphasizes deep, slow, and coordinated breathing techniques that help calm the mind, regulate respiration, and cultivate Qi throughout the body.
Cultivation of internal energy: Qigong is aimed at cultivating and refining the body’s Qi energy, which is considered life energy. Through conscious movement, breathing techniques, and meditation, practitioners learn to use and direct Qi to enhance physical performance, mental focus, and overall well-being.
Kung Fu
The Kung Fu workshop provides hands-on training in the traditional Shaolin martial arts. Participants will learn a comprehensive system of movements, emphasising strength, flexibility, and vitality. The workshop covers essential elements such as practical techniques, forms, and self-defence strategies.
It incorporates breath control techniques for focus and coordination, contributing to physical fitness and mental clarity. Through guided practice, participants will gain practical skills and insights into the principles of Kung Fu, fostering both physical and mental well-being.

Turning Goals into Reality
Turning Goals into RealityJernej Pavlič
Workshop:
This 1.5-hour workshop is designed to help participants close the gap between what they want and what they actually do.
Rather than focusing heavily on theory, the session emphasizes practical examples, honest reflection, and concrete steps that can be applied in daily life.
The workshop covers four key stages: first, gaining clarity on one’s best self—who they want to be and what truly matters to them. Then, identifying the habits and patterns that may be holding them back. From there, participants choose one key trait and translate it into a simple daily practice. Finally, they leave with a 21-day routine designed to build real momentum.
The approach blends reflection with grounded psychology and real-life tools that participants can immediately put into practice. By the end of the workshop, they gain more clarity, greater focus, and a clear plan they can begin the very same day.

Workshop:
This acroyoga session is an invitation to connect, with yourself, your partner, and the community around you. It’s a space where playfulness meets presence, where laughter blends with trust, and where you can safely explore what it feels like to move in harmony with another person.
Whether you come as a couple or solo, all levels are welcome. Together we’ll build trust, find balance, and maybe even take flight, all in a joyful, heart-open atmosphere that celebrates freedom, curiosity, and connection.
