Scotland Expedition 2025 - Day 4
This last day of this expedition felt strange. The work was completed and I felt a bit without purpose. That’s why it took me a while to write to you. Yet, some interesting things happened to me on a more personal level.
Scotland Expedition 2025 - Day 3
I immediately see animals being hoarded together towards the circle. ‘Why?’, I wonder. Not to kill and simply eat them just like that. To honour them?
The Standing Stones of Stenness are clearly different than the ones in the Ring of Brodgar. The ring is much smaller with only 11 original stones of which 4 are still standing. There used to be a henge (a gutter and higher bank in a circle), but it has disappeared after centuries of agriculture.
Scotland Expedition 2025 - Day 2
The Ring of Brodgar, with 36 stones where once maybe 60 stood, said the sign. I felt welcome to this place. Almost an air of eagerness for my arrival was noticeable.
Scotland Expedition 2025 - Day 1
Today I arrived at the northern coast and went down to the beach. I was impressed by everything; the salty smell of the sea, the powerful wind blowing me backwards, the sound of the waves bashing against the black cliff and the deep feeling of being ‘there’. After what seemed such a long time, I have arrived at the northern tip of Scotland overlooking the water that bridges the Orkney Isles with the mainland.
The forces of nature awakened
In the Spring of 2024 I was sitting on the couch of my living room and my heart was palpitating. First I was worried about what was happening inside me. Maybe something was wrong. But then I sensed something was rising in me.
How masculine wounds can be healed
I don’t think I have ever felt so much grief. Or shame and guilt for that matter. Though I am aware of certain deeds of mine that correspond to toxic masculinity - I have definitely not been a saint - I cannot connect these emotions to the man I have been and life I have lived. This level of grief and pain was beyond me as the person I now am.
The bigger view on Templekeeping
I am going to paint the bigger picture on Templekeeping. Looking at our planet from an eagle perspective to see what happened all those thousands of years ago when the prehistoric temples of the world were built. Who were those people and why did they build the temples?
How we healed the Culzu Temple
The Culzu Nuraghe is the first on our list today. One of us enters inside and the 5 of us make a circle around the building on the outside. We can work freely as there are no other visitors. The temple stands in an open field, accessible but not visited often. We first track the origin of this temple, why was it buillt? I just sense life, life, life.
The Temple of Truth
As soon as I stepped on the field toward the Nuraghe, I experienced an intense sadness and a feeling of being numbed. All of a sudden loss and grief were very present in my heart. I could experience the loss from a previous life, that happened on that field. And I felt the loss in my current life.
How it all started..
For 17 years Vincent has been travelling to the island of Sardinia. Never did he make a connection with the energy work and collective transformative work that is part of his practice, until the spring of 2023..
The story behind Templekeeping
As you walk, the horizon gets clearer and clearer. Often, you don’t know where you are heading, until a mountain starts to reveal itself where you first only saw treetops. It was a similar experience for the founding of the Sacred Arts of Templekeeping.
