The Pirates of Ibiza 🌑

Hello from what might be one the most seductive rocks in the Mediterranean – Ibiza.

It’s my second time here, and there’s already a pre-eliminary slot in my calendar for the next visit, and it seems that the tendency is to stay longer every time.

I’m not surprised.

Beyond the dazzle of wealthy lifestyles and charming bays, there’s a special kind of magic here that I’m starting to tap into. It feels familiar, powerful and indeed – very damn seductive.

But let’s start from the beginning.

I arrived here on business – to join Piratas do Amor in building a dream project – a 42 meter sailing ship on a quest to become the Flagship of the Regenerative Movement.

How we got here is really quite a story.

Cala Millor is a historic vessel and the last survivor from the Balearic Fleet. Currently in a shipyard it is experiencing a literal regeneration – being given a second life after sinking in Ibiza a while back.

The new mission?

Connecting organic farms in the Balearic Islands and Mediterranean, hosting transformative gatherings, and eventually heading across the Atlantic into the Amazon and back via the Azores.

With a 400 tons cargo hold, space for 150 guests for day trips, the capacity to sail worldwide, an established network of organic producers and proper funding in place, I’m still somewhat in disbelief that I get to play a part in this beautiful game. And yet, it makes perfect sense.

To make the whole shabang even sweeter – the people in the project, both in the core and around it, are absolutely incredible. I’ve been experiencing so much love, creative flow, support, generosity, meaningful introductions, fun invitations, and all sorts of delights that I can’t help but smile and dive right in.

There’s gonna be challenges on the way for sure, but hey:

Segura firme – Vamos navegar!

Which brings me to the other big part of my Ibizan adventure – my third ceremony with the Tea, this time with the Huni Kuin family.

While the ceremony happened during one night, the process lasted the entire weekend and I’m only properly resurfacing from it now. My heart is sooo open. I’ve been kinda beaming out love and light most of the time, at least in the IRL space – the digital world is somehow more challenging, perhaps because its totally disembodied. Speaking of the body, I’ve finally rebooted my yoga practice, something I kept trying to do for a while now but never managed to keep up.

While all these changes might fade with time, I can feel a deep reprogramming that happened, and I’ve anchored the fuck out of it in my body and with the incredible music of the Huni Kuin. And the music was an essential piece of this puzzle.

Mapu shared that the songs are balancing prayers – bringing the energy in the bodies into balance. I could feel it during the ceremony and during the days that followed, and with every day spent with the Huni Kuin my voice was singing with them louder and louder all the way until the final night when we joined a Vision Quest ritual. That was such a special moment and it broke my heart open even more. I’ll leave this story for our time in person.

Here’s Mapu on Spotify:

It’s such a treat to be able to listen to this music again and again. Can’t wait to sing with the tribe next time!

So here I am, hopping onto the last couple of days in Ibiza before traveling to Casa Tilo for Enspiral Gathering. This also shifts me into the WildCards Mode. I’ve been playing with Cards to develop Cala Millor of course, but now it’s time to finish up the demo and get ready for take-off. It is happening!

Speaking of, the Microsolidarity deck is out, and its looking absolutely glorious. First of all the deck turned out great and super useful for all sort of hosting / community building activities. You also get hand made pouches by Su and Ju (artisans living in Portugal), beautiful drawings by Silvia, and it’s all printed in Europe on eco paper in solar powered factory. Because not everything has to come from China 🌳.

More decks to come! If you want to make one and wish to collabo, you know where to find me 😉.

I’m feeling very excited and happy. Sending that vibe your way as well, along with the wishes of a wonderful Moon cycle!

Love and Light,
Michał

ps. Kiki, the most wonderful cat I’ve had the honour to know, is looking for a Home for a few months (I’m too nomadic to live with her atm, and the other cat parent is moving to a new place which is not suitable for Kiki). If you can help out let me know, all support super appreciated 🤍

Days with the K are always the best 🐈‍⬛.
