Ceremony of Remembrance
Just Be is a ceremonial gathering at the heart of an Istrian castle, a day of music, movement, and connection.
Every element of the evening from sound to cacao, from movement to fire is designed to guide you inward and open what has always been within.
We are all one heart.
The Quantum Heart Ceremony invites you to remember this together, in a sacred space, through vibrations that touch deeper than words.

The Vision
Just Be Events is not simply a series of gatherings.
It is a living field,
an intentional space where individuals come together to co-create an experience rooted in presence, authenticity, and connection.
At its core, the vision is to cultivate peace within the individual,
and through that, awaken a deeper sense of unity within the collective.
Because when the nervous system settles…
when the mind quiets…
when the heart opens…
Something natural begins to emerge:
A remembrance that we are not separate.
Each event is a carefully guided journey
where sound, movement, and stillness weave together,
inviting the body to release, the heart to soften, and the being to realign.

Ceremonial Temple
Opening of Sacred Space
The evening begins with intention as Alida opens a sacred field where time softens, energy attunes, and you are gently drawn into a space where the unseen becomes deeply felt.
Live Ecstatic Dance
For this year’s Quantum Heart Ceremony, a 3-hour ecstatic dance unfolds, co-created by Kulam Project, Pepe Danza, Mihaela, and fire artists. Primal rhythms, sacred sound, and live vocals guide the body into liberation and expression, while the fire artists awaken the senses, creating a shared space of flow, presence, and heart-centered connection.
Cacao Ceremony & Singing Circle
Sacred cacao opens the heart as voices rise and intertwine, dissolving separation and inviting you into a shared space where connection deepens and the circle becomes a living prayer.
Sound Healing Journey
A Sound Healing Journey where vibration becomes alchemy weaving through the body, dissolving, integrating, and restoring harmony from within.

Opening of Sacred Space
Alida Del Bianco
Every ceremony begins with the moment we choose to be present. Alida Del Bianco opens the evening through ritual intention — inviting the elements, the community, and the castle itself to become one. This is not an introduction. It is the act itself, crossing the threshold from the everyday into the sacred.
19:15
Cacao Ceremony & Singing Circle
Ksenija Lea Ronai & Mihaela Marković
Cacao is one of the oldest ceremonial medicines in the world, not because of mysticism, but because of a simple truth: it opens. The heart, the senses, presence itself. In the circle that Ksenija Lea and Mihaela build through voice and intention, the sacred drink becomes a catalyst, and song becomes the bridge between what you carry and who you are.
21:00
Live Ecstatic Dance
Pepe Danza and Kulam Project take you on a 3-hour journey of music, movement, and pure heart energy.
Experience a fully improvised 3-hour ecstatic dance where Pepe Danza and Kulam Project guide the field, with Mihaela’s live vocals and local artists co-creating in the moment. Every rhythm and movement emerges spontaneously, carrying you into flow, liberation, and a shared space of joy, presence, and heart expansion. Throughout, fire artists weave light and movement around the community...a ceremony that isn't watched, but lived.
23:00
Sound Healing Journey
Anika Petrović
After movement, the body seeks depth. The Sound Healing Journey takes us into the layer beneath thought where the frequencies of crystal bowls, gongs, and instruments do what words cannot. Integration. Balance. A return to self.

Sound Healing Session

The Experience
Each event is a multidimensional journey, where different modalities are woven into one cohesive flow:
– Sound healing
– Cacao ceremonies
– Voice activation & singing circles
– Ecstatic dance
– Integration & energy work
Rather than offering a single method, these elements are intentionally combined to create a unified experience,
one that speaks to the body, the emotions, and the energetic field.
There is no expectation, no performance.
Only space for each person to enter at their own depth,
and to move in their own truth.
The Founder
Just Be Events was founded by Alida - a healer, mentor, and spiritual guide with over 30 years of experience in energy work and alternative medicine.
Her work bridges the intuitive and the grounded,
the unseen and the deeply embodied.
Through her presence and guidance, she creates spaces where people feel safe to let go of what no longer serves,
to reconnect with their inner truth,
and to access a deeper level of awareness that is both personal and universal.
The Intention
At the heart of Just Be Events lives a clear and grounded intention:
To create spaces where inner peace becomes accessible.
Where the body feels safe to open.
Where emotions are welcomed without judgment.
And where, through shared presence, a deeper sense of human unity can be felt not as an idea, but as a lived experience.
Because peace is not something we find outside of ourselves.
It is something we remember together.

VOICES FROM 2025
What People Carried Home
An Invitation
If something within you feels a quiet resonance…
you don’t need to analyze it.
This is not a space that asks you to become more,
fix yourself,
or strive for anything.
This is a space where you are invited to arrive exactly as you are.
To breathe.
To feel.
To reconnect.
And in that…
to remember the simplicity and power of just being.
You are welcome here.
About Just Be Events
Just Be Events was born as a sanctuary for presence,
a space to return to what is real, what is felt, and what exists beneath the constant noise of the world.
In a time where attention is fragmented and the external pulls us in countless directions,
these gatherings offer a different rhythm.
A space to soften.
To listen.
To remember.
Not through effort, but through direct experience.
