What is The Crossing.

Twenty-five people. A mountain shala. Every fortnight.

We open with cacao or Blue Lotus, move for an hour through ecstatic dance on silent disco headphones, and weave in breathwork, somatic practices and simple connection games — different every time. The infrared sauna is available throughout. We close in a circle.

No performance. No pressure. A trauma-informed, play-based space, held safely and warmly, to shake loose what doesn't belong to you and remember what does.

One evening · seven thresholds.

A rhythm, not a schedule. We move when the room is ready.

IV · Banyula Zen Shala

Held in the Doonan mountains.

Nested in the Doonan mountains, Banyula Zen is not a studio. It is a portal — a shala open to sky, grass, mountain air and the breath of the earth. The land here is old. It holds what needs to be held.

Nathan Norindr — facilitator of The Crossing
V · Who holds the space

I'm Nathan.

The hands behind Flow is Love and the holder of The Crossing.

A trauma-informed, play-based facilitator — because real change needs both safety and permission to be light.

I've spent a decade moving between worlds — studying the body, the subconscious, the land and the lineages that pre-date all of it. Trained in Neo-Ericksonian hypnosis, strategic psychotherapy and somatic work, and initiated into the Munay-Ki rites of the Q'ero — the Andean shamans whose living map, the Chakana, is the architecture of this gathering.

Last year I held Ecstatic Soul Journey — a monthly gathering of 50 to 100 people moving, breathing and finding each other. The Crossing is its intimate successor. Twenty-five people. Every fortnight. Slower. Deeper. More deliberate.

The Crossing came from a simple knowing: that people need a regular space to shake loose what doesn't belong to them, drop into what does, and be witnessed doing it. No performance. No pretending. Just arrival.

I built this because munay — love, beauty, be as thou art — is not just the name. It is the instruction.

VI · One way in

Come as you are.

However you arrive, there's room for you.

Come to…
  • work through something you're carrying
  • find your people
  • simply move your body
  • connect with yourself, and with others

Everything is an invitation. This is a trauma-informed, brave space. You can say no, say pass, or change any activity to suit you, at any point in the evening.

VII · Closing portal

The path is already inside you.
The Crossing is where you remember it.

Before you arrive

Good to know.

What should I bring?
Comfortable clothes you can move in. A water bottle. Snacks if you like — something nourishing for after. Everything else is provided: cacao, headphones, sauna, tea.
Is there parking?
Plenty of parking on site. No need to stress about arrival — there is space for everyone.
How far is the walk from parking?
About one minute. The shala is right there.
What if it's raining?
The shala is covered and fully held regardless of weather. We recommend a rain jacket or umbrella for the walk from your car on wet nights — then leave it at the door.
What happens inside?
Cacao or Blue Lotus ceremony · one hour of ecstatic dance · silent disco headphones · somatic practices · breathwork · noticing and connection games · guided mindfulness movement · infrared sauna · integration circle. Different every time, always drawn from what the group needs.
Do I need any experience?
None. No dance experience, no spiritual background required. The only entry requirement is a willingness to arrive.
Do I have to join in with everything?
No. Everything is optional. Each activity is an invitation, never an expectation. You can say no, say pass, sit something out, or change an activity so it suits your body and your day. No one will ask you to explain.
What does trauma-informed mean here?
It means the evening is held with your nervous system in mind. Nothing is forced, you set your own pace, and you're always free to step out and come back. It's a brave space: you're welcome to stretch a little, and just as welcome to stay where you are.
Can I come on my own?
Yes. You don't need to bring anyone. Coming alone is welcome, and connecting with others is always optional.
