Pi Villaraza (PHI)

17 years ago, Pi Villaraza experienced a spiritual awakening that has helped start the global Innerdance movement that has since contextualised energy journeys in the science and spirituality of mind-body consciousness. His work has been replicated and is now in pervasive practice across the whole world.

A father of two children and writer of two books, Pi is the founder of Maia Earth Village and continuously dedicated to deep ecology, helping to found the Global Ecobricks movement as well as initiate the water birth practice, raw food nutrition, mudhouse building and permaculture lifestyles in the Philippines.

For the majority of the year, Pi resides on a mountaintop in Palawan, Philippines, with his Finnish partner, Iituli Aalto.

WHAT IS TIME?

Pajasali
category - Evolve

In his talk called “What is Time”, Pi presents what it means to go back to the beginning of the personal, the planetary and the cosmic creation stories.

In the Innerdance process, participants often journey back to the womb space, a mysterious concept that reveals many things, one of which is the meaning of Time itself as a Space of expansive creation, profound experience, and deep perception.

Pi poses the question What is Time as a placeholder for What is Causality, What is Dimensional Truth, and What is Transformation, offering scientific and spiritual meeting points to the core of Philosophical Discourse. 

Pi will offer grounded Finnish stories and angles of vision through the observant lens of a Southeast Asian witness who has watched the awakening journey of many Innerdance facilitators in Finland in the recent years.

Friday 16.45-18.45

INNERDANCE

Ruutikellari
category - Awaken

There are many reasons for why innerdance has been experienced by countless participants around the world for many years, often bringing along profound and life-altering experiences. The experience is a study of altered states of time and the perception of dimensionality. In the process we can journey into an awake REM state and deep stages regularly visited during dream time.

The process involves entraining the circadian systems to transcend the rhythms of logic and human normativities, pushing the brain and the mind to expanded horizons of seeing beyond the limits of conditioning and mental habits. Music and sound is involved primarily to stimulate various brain regions that regulate the body clock, triggering the autonomic nervous system’s instinctual intelligences.  

We start the process by laying down and through natural co-activation of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system, the body may move on its own intelligence, the mind may travel to unknown realms, the inner eye may see the invisible areas of the psyche, and most commonly shared, there is a safe journey back to source. The workshop starts with the innerdance process and ends to integration journey. In an innerdance process, we together create the conditions where healing can happen on its own, guided by the individual’s own intelligence system.  

The process is co-facilitated with live dj’ing by Pi Villaraza and supported by the Finnish innerdance facilitators.

Sunday 11.00-12.15

THE NEW BRAIN

Pajasali
category - Evolve

The presentation is titled “The New Brain” and features a talk and demonstration of the functions of the nervous system as it undergoes autonomic transformations helped by sound and musical entrainment techniques. The talk outlines how spiritual and scientific communities begin to map brain regions stimulated in the healing process, suggesting integrative ways to understand the short and long term effects of the different dimensions of healing.  

In the past decades, intense spiritual process has brought about an emerging understanding of the multiple stages and states of transformation. The global experience offers profound maps for how The New Brain comes out of the pervasive forces brought forth by the Internet, new spiritual modalities and psychotropic lifestyle mechanisms. Pi touches on how the nervous and endocrine systems of people in deep transformation gives us a picture of how highly unpredictable brain and body circuitries and chemistries can be better understood and, thus, contribute in the healing of physical, mental and emotional disorders. 

Alongside The New Brain emerges New Music. As part of his talk, Pi goes into neuro-music and how theories on vibration converge with those on dreaming, the circadian rhythms, the autonomic nervous system, emotions, the body clock and Time Perception.
