AUGUST PORTAL
On 8.8. was the much-mentioned Leo portal and on 16.8. the new moon in the sign of Leo. But these two days were not the only powerful ones. The entire month of August is an invitation to courageously and resolutely walk through the so-called Leo portal between the full moon on August 1 and the second full moon on August 31. Are you ready for the August portal? What does this gateway open up for us?
People once believed in a two-dimensional world. They believed that the earth was a plate. Those who spoke of a three-dimensional world as a sphere were condemned as madmen and heretics. The first justified their two-dimensional view of life with the image that ships sailing on the sea to the horizon fall off the plate. The interesting thing about this argument is that their image of fear also described a three-dimensional world. In her image of fear, you could fall off the two-dimensional plate – so the mental space behind her lived reality was already three-dimensional.
FEAR ANNOUNCES TO THE MIND AN AS YET UNEXPLORED DIMENSION THAT THE HEART HAS LONG KNOWN.
There are very different qualities and intensities of fear. However, the crucial question with fear is always: do I invest time in the fear-filled dramas of the mind or do I follow the wisdom of the heart, which allows me to constantly set off into new territory?
Fear can block if a person holds on to the old and the outdated until the moment when the person decides to HEAL, to let go of the outdated images and to mentally open up to the current “new territory”. Then the fears become future-oriented and turn into a FEAST: the person begins to MANI-FEST-IEREN the new territory that has long been announced by the heart – celebrate life!
Not only are we all currently facing an individual opening into new territory, but people around the world have been sensing for some time that their hearts are announcing a departure into something cognitively unimaginable.
Where does the August portal take us? Are you curious? Then we invite you to read on. Only: We are not announcing THE Truth. We only offer our current experience to inspire you to feel into yourself anew and to perceive your inner truth – it’s about your truth!

FESTIVAL OF GRATITUDE
Lake Constance is considered the heart of Europe. On August 1, SONQO celebrated International Pachamama Day on the Green Dam on Lake Constance. PACHAMAMA RAYMI is the Peruvian festival of gratitude. The thanks are dedicated to the earth goddess of fertility and femininity.
Celebrate, sleep and enjoy in the open air: For the first time in a long time, many of us slept outside at Pachamama Raymi without a tent and with just a sleeping bag. We trusted the assembled group, the forces of nature, the RAYMI and from this basic trust we faced the extremely unstable weather. Fear for our own comfort zone would have made us switch to a rented scout home early on.
United in (gentle) courage, we were able to fulfill the planned vision and experience great happiness together outdoors in the open air. We are so pleased with the numerous positive feedbacks. We will always carry the memories in our hearts. A big, heartfelt thank you to everyone who was there, who helped shape the event and to all those who celebrated with us in their thoughts from afar.
So what does SONQO’s exhilarating Raymi experience have to do with the collective lion portal in August 2023?
According to astrology, we are in the sign of Leo. In keeping with the quality of time, a LION is said to have recently escaped from Berlin Zoo. This lion produced a lot of hot air in the media about nothing, because it soon turned out to be a WILD PIG. In the same way, people and situations that have long successfully tried to pretend to be heroic and imposing “lions” can now suddenly turn out to be real “pigs” in this collective portal. Manipulation, cheap seduction and trickery now fly up like firecrackers in the sky on a national holiday.
Many people are now learning to let go of their masked manipulative lion game and show themselves vulnerably with their own truthfulness. However, there are still enough self-centered spirits who cling to their egocentric heroism and now manipulate, seduce and deceive even more cleverly and subtly in order to maintain the old appearance on the outside. With their hypocritical actions, they are actually just trying to satisfy their lion’s appetite for attention, prestige and attention, because they have forgotten that we are all children of God (God in the sense of a greater whole) and not his partners. As a partner of God (a counterpart of the greater whole), we would place ourselves on the same level and at the same time separate ourselves from it in order to be a counterpart. As a child of God (as an equal part of an infinite number of parts of the greater whole), we are a human family – a unity.
LIFE IS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF HOW I HUMBLY TAKE MY UNIQUELY DETERMINED PLACE WITHIN THE COSMOLOGICAL UNIT.
The August portal invites us all to not only be connected to our own heart and not only listen to our own heart. The gate opens collectively so that we can now definitively risk our individual importance and cognitive identity in order to step into a new communal territory united in our hearts, i.e. in natural cycles of RECEIVING & GIVING, and celebrate life for the common good.
It sounds so cheesy, terribly peaceful and almost too beautiful. But be prepared: the current collective portal is a master test!
The manipulative lions disguise their games in politics, business and everyday life in ever more clever ways and, if necessary, with skillful double masks: How do you recognize these manipulative double masks in everyday life? Are there any concrete clues?

REMEMBER
Read the signs of manipulative behavior as neutrally as a scanner reads a page free of stories. Try not to judge. In judging, we evaluate the person, but it is actually not the person and their nature, but their behavior that gives us pause. Stay in touch with the person’s heart, but recognize the current behaviour. Then make decisions based on the current behavior.
The characteristics of masked manipulation are numerous. Here are a few examples:
MORE SHINE THAN BE
– Great words without corresponding action.
– Humor or even compliments that subtly distract from present issues and ultimately make you feel unheard.
EFFICIENT CONNECTIONS
– Someone says he/she is sending you love or the person gives you brief attention, but really only with the expectation that you will be nice or give nice feedback.
MANIPULATIVE LEADERSHIP
– When, for example, offers have prices that are plucked out of the air and these come along seductively in so-called angelic numbers (222.- / 333.- / 444.- / 8888.- etc)
– When there is talk of vision, but its manifestation still serves egocentric prestige images of material possessions & financial wealth.
And you may be wondering what all this has to do with the Peruvian PACHAMAMA RAYMI by SONQO on August 1st, the festival of gratitude and femininity.
Peruvian culture calls a woman with devious, self-centered and destructive energy a “bruja”. How do you deal with these “falsely masked lions” and their manipulative strategies? What should you do constructively when destructive female forces are at play?
IMPORTANT: Bruja forces are not only found in the behavior of women. Unconscious and therefore destructive feminine energy is potentially present in all people and in all sentient beings.
With PACHAMAMA RAYMI we celebrate together the gratitude for the constructive female forces and call them into RECOGNITION.
The following five aspects (elements) are important in a PACHAMAMA RAYMI by SONQO, among others, in order to bring the constructive feminine forces into collective experience:
SPACE – BECOMING ONE WITH NATURE
Sleeping under the open sky and celebrating in the midst of wild nature, experience the primal trust of how the unpredictability of unstable weather can become great happiness and even pleasure.
EARTH – DEVOTION TO BEING IN THE WORLD
Connect with situations and people who let go of self-centered goals and live their full DEVOTION to the common good in HUMILITY to the earth goddess PACHAMAMA.
WIND – VALUING VULNERABILITY
Creating safe space for our individual vulnerability. Letting go of competence and knowledge. Open the safe space for previously suppressed or blocked emotions. The Cacao Ceremony at Pachamama Raymi makes this possible.
FIRE – BEING COMPASSIONATE
Spend time with people who do not leave behind “emotional garbage”, but create situations together to experience the unifying feeling of gratitude. Just like we did at Pachamama Raymi, where we first cleared the nature at the Green Dam of garbage and created a harmonious place for our Ceremony of Gratitude.
WATER – CREATIVE POWER LIFE
Love does not generate one-sided profit, but integrative cycles: practising Munay (unconditional love) means not only breathing in air, but also love – and not only breathing out air, but also giving love. Giving love unconditionally to all human souls and all sentient souls of the entire cosmos; this has nothing to do with saccharine romance, but is the most consistent thing a person can do, namely to let immense love flow without restriction – like at Pachamama Raymi in the morning at 5 o’clock in the Munay meditation with a view of the infinite expanse of the lake.
celebrate hearts
PORTAL = COLLECTIVE PATH
The challenging LION PORTAL is not a destination, not a place and not a gateway to paradise, but simply a path that we walk individually and collectively at the same time. Where the heart is present, steps can be taken.
If a destructive contact can be transformed, then be unstoppably committed to the MANI-FEST ACTION of the common good. However, if change is not foreseeable, if arrogance, jealousy or feelings of inferiority come to the fore, then stand up all the stronger to yourself and for your own heart, let go of these destructive situations and connections for a moment, let them come to rest mentally at least for a few moments to the point of zero – be in silence – enjoy silence while breathing – also consciously breathe the fullness and emptiness of breath. In silence, you risk everything (loss of the familiar outside world) in order to gain everything, namely:
To be present again as a uniquely courageous being in the HERE and to act compassionately with yourself in the NOW.
The indigenous peoples of the Andes, the Amazon and the Peruvian cosmology have passed on to us wonderful plants and powerful rituals to create our unique path together with compassion:
Ceremony of Gratitude and Despachos
Cacao Ceremony
Munay Meditation
and much more
