There are places on Earth where time does not feel linear. Turkey is one of those lands.

Organized in the spirit of the School of Present Time, this journey is intended as a way to connect to some of the oldest layers of human memory.

We travel to this land because here, more than 11,000 years ago, human beings raised the pillars of Göbekli Tepe, one of the oldest known sacred sites on Earth.

The land of Turkey holds civilizations upon civilizations — Hittite, Mesopotamian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, Ottoman — each layer still present, like geological strata of human consciousness.

Before reaching Gobekli Tepe, we will walk among the rock-carved sanctuaries of Göreme, hike through the rose-colored valleys of Cappadocia and we will stand before the silent stone beings of Nemrut.

Throughout our time together, we will practice movements inspired by the Toltec tradition — gestures of awareness designed to quiet the internal dialogue. By silencing the noise of the mind, we open perception. We begin to sense with the body, with the totality of our being.

After the visit of Gobekli Tepe, we will wander the mystical streets of Mardin, once a luminous city of the Silk Road — layered with Assyrian, Arab, Persian, and Anatolian influences.

This is an invitation to step out of ordinary time and to enter a space where past and present meet.
We will intend to connect — not intellectually, but directly — with those ancient layers of humanity that still live within us.

The journey will start with a set of online meetings in order to prepare.
