MEDICINE OF INTERCONNECTEDNESS, Croatia 2025

ABOUT
MEDICINE OF INTERCONNECTEDNESS

Medicine of Interconnectedness is an invitation to revisit our relationship with ourselves and everything around us.

Cambridge dictionary defines interconnectedness as the state of having different parts or things connected and related to each other. When we think of a relationship between two or more things, it is a connection. If there is a relationship between two or more relationships, it is an interconnection. Connection is a direct relationship between two people or things. Whereas interconnection is like a web of constant interactions.

We are inseparably interconnected with ourselves and with everything around us. That means that we are continuously building relationships with ourselves and everything around us.

The medicine of interconnectedness supports us in building those relationships, with ourselves, with all our relatives here on Earth Mother, the stone, plant, animal, and human families, with the Earth, and with all our relations around Earth Mother.

​

In our gatherings, we practice building these relationships. We learn to:

  • Open our hearts to communicate and be with love.

  • Expand our vision to all aspects of ourselves and others.

  • Still our minds and become better listeners.

  • Become a witness, instead of being an activated participant.

​​

To achieve such states of good heart, good mind, and good actions, we use practices such as:

  • Munay-Ki Rites to expand our hearts and minds!

  • Decoupling (resetting flight, fight, freeze, collapse response) to quiet our nervous and endocrine systems, to become still enough to listen.

  • Clearing and balancing our energy fields, to remove imprints, intrusive energies and entities that bring up unhealed stories in moments of activation and prevent us from being a witness.

  • Shamanic journeying to connect and build relationships of interconnection!

​​

In such a way, we come into a place where all communication is easier, and our connection to ourselves and others grows to interconnectedness, a web of interactions with ourselves and all around us. In that respect, we become inseparable from all around us and see everything as an aspect of ourselves.

When we are aware of interconnectedness we can never be alone again, the world is a safe place, we are safe people, and trust, compassion, and understanding guide our lives.

​

We invite you to join us in the events of the medicine of interconnectedness and continue building these relationships in community!

BELI RESCUE CENTER FOR
GRIFFON VOLTURES

Griffon vulture (lat. Gyps fulvus) is one of the largest bird species in the world and the largest one in Croatia. They have a wingspan of 240 to 280 cm, a height of up to 110 cm, and a weight of 7 to 12 kg in adult birds. They are long-lived birds. They can live up to 40 years in captivity (less in the wild). Griffon vultures feed exclusively on carcasses of large and mid-sized mammals, and never eat live prey. They clean the ecosystem, preventing possible spread of certain diseases.

Griffon vulture is one of the symbols of island of Cres, an island of exceptional and well preserved biodiversity. Beli Visitor and Rescue Centre for Griffon Vultures is the place where you can find out more about the millennia-long coexistence of local people and griffon vultures.

Even though griffon vultures live in other parts of the world, the Kvarner population is unique in the world because these birds nest right above the sea, while in other regions they nest mostly in mountain areas.

Watching griffon vultures in flight is always a special experience. Flying mostly in groups and barely moving their wings, griffon vultures spend hours searching the terrain for food. They fly great distances with ease, and their appearance in the air or on one of the island’s cliffs can truly be breathtaking.

THE WORLD OF
SEA MAMMALS

There are several marine mammal species that live or visit the Addriatic Sea, dolphins, whales, and Mediterranean Monk Seals. All marine mammals which live in the Adriatic Sea or only visit it at times are protected by Croatian laws and international agreements. They are endangered due to human influence on their habitats, pollution, over fishing and tourism. Any deliberate disturbing, catching, keeping, injuring or killing of marine mammals in the Adriatic Sea is a criminal offence punishable by Croatian laws with very high penalties and indemnities.

Current knowledge of the status of Cetacean species in the Adriatic Sea indicate that only the common bottlenose dolphin is regularly present in the entire Adriatic Sea. The striped dolphin, the Risso’s dolphin and the Cuvier’s beaked whale are present in different densities only in the southern Adriatic, while sperm whales occasionally visit the area. Fin whales are present seasonally in the central and southern Adriatic. The long-finned pilot whale, false killer whale and humpback whale present rare visitors to the Adriatic Sea. Finally, the short-beaked common dolphin, once present in the entire Adriatic Sea should be considered regionally extinct, as it is present only through either remnant or stray animals.

The Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) is on the Red List of Threatened Species of the Adriatic. The monk seal is the only seal species in the Mediterranean Sea and the fishermen in the Adriatic Sea used to call it morski covik (seaman). It was persecuted for centuries  and almost exterminated because it destroyed fishermen’s nets. It was thought to became extinct in the Adriatic. In recent years, there have been sightings around Istria and Cres-Losinj archipelago. This gives hope that it will once again become a permanent resident of the Adriatic Sea.

Loggerhead Trutle Carreta Carreta 3.jpg

SEA TURTLE
RESCUE CENTER

Sea turtles are an ancient group of animals, inhabiting Earth for millions of years. Today they face many threats that cause their numbers to decline. Sea turtles cannot retract their flippers and head into their shells. Their anatomy makes them agile when under the sea but highly vulnerable when nesting and hatching. The sex of sea turtles, like other reptiles, depends on the temperature in the nest. Warmer nests lead to more females and cooler ones lead to more males. They can hold their breath for five hours underwater. To accomplish this mighty feat they slow their heart rate to up to nine minutes in between heart beats in order to conserve oxygen. Although turtles are cold-blooded, they regulate their body temperature by controlling the blood flow in the skin and fins.

​There are a couple of turtle species in Croatia but loggerhead sea turtle (glavata želva), green turtle (zelena želva) and the leatherback turtle (sedmopruga usminjača) are the three main sea turtle species in the Adriatic Sea. The most common species in the Mediterranean and in the Adriatic Sea is the loggerhead sea turtle. They have been living in the Adriatic for a long time. This is where they feed and spend their winters. Scientists have learned that precisely the North Adriatic is the most important region for the loggerhead turtle in the entire Mediterranean. The greatest number of this species lives, matures, feeds and winters in the North Adriatic. After nesting and laying their eggs, they return to the Adriatic. So, it’s no surprise that their population in the Adriatic is quite large. Scientists estimate there are more than 20.000 sea turtles in the Adriatic. Surveys led by the Blue World Institute show that the main habitat in the Adriatic is the loggerhead, whereas the green turtle and the leatherback are quite rare.
