The 2nd edition of Forest.ink’s theme is “Life Energy” We cordially invite everyone interested in integrating the principles of yoga into their life to join us. Yoga, ayurveda, meditation, chanting and dance are all means to our awakening, strengthening our intuition, attention and life force. The event is for everyone who has decided to live life differently than what might be considered “normal” in today's society. Conscious work with our life energy helps us prevent stress and harmonize our inner and outer worlds. Thanks to tools such as our own voice, mudras, breath, asanas and more, we learn to direct this energy to heal ourselves and others. In 2016 the first Forest.ink benefit event took place in The Chemistry Gallery. As a result of everyone’s participation in this event, we were able to make our first purchase, 50ha in the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest, and encouraged us to establish the non-profit foundations, Forest.ink and Bosque Medicinal. Over the last three years, we find the project continuing to grow. We've built a refugio - a research center - that serves as a base-camp for scientific investigation, community workshops, responsible ecotourism, and volunteering. Our volunteer activities include biodiversity surveys and the reforestation of areas that have been felled due to illegal logging. Forest.ink is an information portal in Czech republic, regularly hosting lectures and other events. Each member of the project organizes workshops or ceremonies according to their ability, including yoga, ayurveda, merkhaba meditation, intuitive painting, and ceremonies with healer plants. The profit from these events is sent to our sister project Bosque Medicinal, which then buys land to care for it, and protect it by registering it as a nature-reserve. This year we are proud to introduce UNIDA, a consortium unifying the activities of universities and NGOs throughout the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Peru, Columbia and Brazil.

CZ www.umenimilovani.cz Muna Saliba - Ayurveda Muna is a student of the ayurvedic gurukula in Prague, under the guidance of Dr. Martina Zisková. Ayurveda is the oldest medicinal system of the world. It originates from India, but its principles transcend time and space, and can be universally applied whenever, wherever. One of the main ayurvedic tools used to maintain balance, and therefore health and satisfaction, is nutrition. This is also the main topic of our workshop. We will begin with an introduction to the basic principles, and explore the main aspects characterizing the ayurvedic nutrition. During the practical part of the workshop, you will be able to create a mixture of spices suitable for your constitution. Beyond your newly acquired knowledge, you will also bring home also your own personal medicine, which can be used in your daily life. This is exactly what ayurveda is: it´s a science of life.
