THE GOLDEN INTERSECTION OF TIMELINES, with Lost Days & Cycles of Reconnection

THE GOLDEN INTERSECTION OF TIMELINES, with Lost Days & Cycles of Reconnection

October 14–15, 2025 • A Portal for Realignment

Between 14 and 15 October 2025, a unique convergence is said to unfold — a meeting of ancient and modern systems of time — often called the Golden Intersection of Timelines. This is not merely a date on the clock, but a symbolic portal: an invitation to reconnect to deeper cycles, nature’s geometry, and our own inner wisdom.

Rediscovering Time’s Spiral

At the core of this concept is the synchronization of three temporal systems:

•The Gregorian calendar (our civil calendar)

•The Maya Long Count (an ancient cyclical timekeeping)

•A Galactic Maya Count (a modern cosmically tuned reinterpretation)

Together, they create a spiral of resonance infused with the Golden Ratio (1.618…), evoking the idea of a cosmic reset. Whether literal or metaphorical, the resonance is clear: we are being invited to remember time as sacred, patterned, alive.

The Lost Days — A Hidden Wound in Time

Here’s where history whispers its shadow: when the Gregorian calendar was introduced in October 1582, ten calendar days were erased to realign the calendar with the solar year. In Catholic lands, Thursday, 4 October 1582 was immediately followed by Friday, 15 October. That means 5–14 October 1582 simply vanished from the calendar.  

This deletion was not arbitrary. The Julian calendar had drifted from nature’s rhythms over centuries, causing the spring equinox to shift, which disrupted the calculation of Easter and seasons. The reform aimed to restore alignment.  

But there’s a deeper, often overlooked dimension: those days were wiped from collective memory. Generations effectively lost ten days — days that might have held dreams, births, cycles, rites. In a subtle but profound way, the fabric of human and natural rhythm was fragmented.

Why This Matters Especially for Women & Cycles

For many women, life is synchronized to cyclical rhythms — thoughts, hormones, moon phases, earth’s seasons. When our calendars severed time from nature, a dissonance was introduced into feminine timekeeping. The loss of ten days is symbolic of a greater disconnection — from the subtle pulses of nature, from ancestral memory, from the body’s own wisdom.

When we recognize the Golden Intersection now, on 14–15 October, we reclaim what was erased. We remember those lost days as a call to heal, to restore the deep alignment between human time and cosmic time — and especially between feminine time and the rhythms of the earth.

Four Pillars Recast with This Thread

1.A Rare Re-emergence

This alignment isn’t simply novel — it is resonant with a deeper restoration: restoring what was erased, remembering what was hidden.

2.The Spiral Vortex of Time

The Golden Ratio spiral becomes a path of re-entry into harmony — a way back into the geometry of nature.

3.Echo of 2012, Extended

The 2012 “galactic alignment” marked a shift; this 2025 event deepens that shift — unveiling hidden patterns in human and cosmic time.

4.Bridging Ancient & Modern, Cosmic & Earthly

In 2025, we don’t just merge calendars — we bring back the pulse of nature into human ordering.

An Invitation to Remember, Reclaim & Reharmonize

Whether or not the claim is astronomically measurable, its potency lies in its poetic and symbolic power. On 14–15 October 2025, pause with intention. Use this as sacred time to:

•Meditate, journal, or ritualize your connection to natural cycles

•Honor those “lost days” as a reclamation of memory and wholeness

•Realign your inner rhythm with earth’s pulses

•Amplify feminine wisdom and honor cyclical flow

The Golden Intersection becomes more than a calendrical event — it is a restoration of the geometry of time, a reconnection to the spiral of creation, and an act of remembering that time is alive, sacred, and woven into our bodies and souls.

Golden Ratio vs. Fibonacci Spiral — Harmony or Consumption?

1. Yes — they are mathematically connected, but not identical.

The Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, …) approximates the Golden Ratio (φ ≈ 1.618) as the numbers progress. Each ratio between consecutive numbers (e.g. 13/8 = 1.625) moves closer to φ. So the Fibonacci spiral is a discrete or stepped version of the continuous golden spiral.

2. In sacred geometry, they symbolize two different modes of creation.

•The Golden Ratio spiral represents infinite proportional balance — every curve expands by the same divine measure, reflecting equilibrium and regeneration (as seen in galaxies, shells, and natural growth patterns).

•The Fibonacci spiral is a growth pattern, but because it’s additive (each step builds upon the last), it can be interpreted as linear accumulation. It creates form, yes — but it can also imply consumption and dependency.

3. The “parasitic” interpretation

Some esoteric teachers suggest the Fibonacci pattern describes the energetic architecture of the fallen matrix — a system that expands by consuming energy from previous iterations rather than generating new life-force from Source.

In this view, true cosmic spirals (often depicted with phi-based continuous ratios or toroidal geometries) recycle and regenerate energy, mirroring the living universe — whereas Fibonacci spirals feed on their own past, mirroring extractive systems (like our linear economies and time constructs).

4. How it ties to the Golden Intersection theme

If the 2025 portal symbolizes a return to natural time, then it may also represent a shift from Fibonacci-style linear expansion (consume, progress, repeat) to Phi-based coherence (balance, regeneration, eternal return).

It’s the difference between growth that depletes and growth that harmonizes.

That’s why many sense this period as a reclamation of organic creation codes — the restoration of the true cosmic spiral.

Entering the Galactic New Year: July 26, 2025

Entering the Galactic New Year: July 26, 2025

Today, we cross a threshold not marked by our conventional calendars but by the rhythms of cosmic time. July 26, 2025 marks the Galactic New Year, a powerful turning point in the 13-Moon Dreamspell Calendar system—a timekeeper followed by spiritual communities across the globe who align with the spirals of galactic time and the rising of the star Sirius.

🌌 What is the Galactic New Year?

Rooted in the visionary work of José Argüelles, the Galactic Calendar (also called the 13-Moon Calendar or Dreamspell) follows a harmonic cycle of 13 moons of 28 days each, creating a 364-day year—with July 25 as a “Day Out of Time” and July 26 as the Galactic New Year.

The Day Out of Time is considered a sacred pause—a liminal space for creativity, forgiveness, peace, and reconnection before the cycle begins anew. It’s a day to step outside the structures of linear time and align with the eternal now.

Today, on July 26, the new Galactic Year begins—an invitation to reset your spiritual compass and walk consciously into a new evolutionary spiral.

🌱 Welcome to the Yellow Resonant Seed Year (Kin 124)

Each galactic year carries its own energy signature. This new cycle is known as the Yellow Resonant Seed Year, guided by the tone of attunement, flowering, and awareness.

Here is the galactic affirmation for this year:

“I channel in order to target
Inspiring awareness
I seal the input of flowering
With the resonant tone of attunement
I am guided by the power of intelligence.”

This year encourages us to plant intentional seeds—not just ideas, but codes of consciousness. Seeds that carry the potential for spiritual flowering, personal evolution, and collective awakening. The “Resonant” tone asks us to attune deeply—to higher frequencies, inner guidance, and universal intelligence.

🌟 How to Celebrate the Galactic New Year

Whether or not you’ve followed the Dreamspell calendar before, this day offers a beautiful invitation to:

•🌿 Set intentions for your spiritual and creative growth

•🔮 Tune in through meditation, sound, or ritual

•📖 Journal your dreams for this cycle—what do you wish to activate or embody?

•💫 Honor the sacred pause from yesterday by committing to new ways of being today

•🌎 Connect with community—even silently—by knowing you’re part of a larger awakening field

This isn’t about dogma—it’s about resonance. Follow what feels true.

✨ Why This Matters Now

In a world undergoing massive transformation, having sacred time markers outside of the Gregorian matrix can be deeply empowering. These harmonic gateways offer a way to return to cosmic coherence, to align our lives with more meaningful rhythms, and to step out of the chaos of artificial time.

As we enter the Yellow Resonant Seed Year, we’re being invited to live as conscious gardeners of reality—to plant with intention, water with awareness, and attune to the silent music of the stars.

🌠 Final Reflection

Let this Galactic New Year be more than a concept. Let it be a living transmission—an invitation to rise, realign, and reawaken. The seeds you plant today will carry the tone of this year.

So pause. Breathe. Listen.

And ask yourself:

What seeds am I here to sow?

JOIN ONE OF OUR JOBURG & TSHWANE QIGONG SERENITY 1-DAY RETREATS

Serenity Qigong Retreat

Join one of our 1-day QiGong Serenity Retreats in Joburg this May and learn the Art of QiGong and how it can help you harmonise your life and move blocked energy (or Qi) in your body and field.

JOBURG:

Thursday 1st May: Gaya Habitat for Art & Healing, Saxonwold | 9am – 5pm | R1500pp (incl. lunch)

TSHWANE:

Saturday 3rd May: Aba Té Farm, Tshwane | 9am – 5pm | R1200pp (incl. lunch)

QiGong, directly translated as Energy Work, is a powerful art that can help you move energy in both the physical and etheric body through precisely practiced conscious movements. Some call QiGong – Meditation in Motion – but it’s much more than that. QiGong will teach you how to become aware of the energy (or Qi) flow in your body and how to cultivate, move and transform this energy. It will also teach you the ancient Tao secrets to living a balanced life and the 3 states of fearlessnesses to help you though tumultuous times. The 1 day retreat also incorporates ancient Chinese Medicine principles that will help you understand your body, how it functions, and how to avoid disease or unbalanced physical or emotional states, if practiced diligently. Because of the simplicity of this art (although there’s a lot of complexity in this simplicity), you can take what you’ve learned with you, and incorporate it into your daily life, through regular practice.

Your retreat guide is renowned TaiQi & QiGong Master, Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Energy Healer, Shirfu Dr Michael Youde Lan (Liu), who comes from a long line of ancient Chinese Masters. Tuidi Lâoshī Michelle Festus will be your host and the Tshwane retreat will be hosted on her sustainable family farm, which has strong Koi San roots and a beautiful energy. The Joburg workshop, which takes place at Gaya Habitat for Art & Healing, also has a powerful energy, something that will add to the retreat experience. Enjoy a healthy organic lunch fresh from the farm, along with local herbal tea.

Please note: the QiGong you will learn stems from one of the most ancient and sincere styles of QiGong taught, and is unlike many of the modern forms that are generally both diluted and primarily designed for show (not effectiveness).

If you need more information or want to book your place, please feel free to reach out to Michelle at aba.te.info@gmail.com or on 078 534 1360.

JOIN OUR TRANSFORMATION LUXURY RETREAT IN MAURITIUS THIS JULY

JOIN OUR TRANSFORMATION LUXURY RETREAT IN MAURITIUS THIS JULY

SHED OLD SKIN AND DISCOVER YOUR TRUE SELF WHILST FINDING THE POWER WITHIN
Retreat dates: 
7 – 13 July 2025 (6 nights, 7 days)
The venue: 
The famed 5-star LUX* Grand Gaube hotel in Mauritius’ northeast coast
           
This transformative Body, Mind, Soul Retreat has been thoughtfully put together by Anina Malherbe-Lan who will be your host, guide and mentor during this retreat, together with her husband Dr Michael Lan, a gifted energy healer, Chinese Medicine doctor and QiGong & TaiQi Master. The main modalities of the retreat will be Meditation, QiGong and Wisdom Teachings, inspired by The Tao and the unseen realms. On this retreat you will learn how your body really functions as an electric energy being connected to all that is (based on ancient asian wisdom teachings) and how to move Qi, or energy, within your body and on the outside, something that is invaluable during the times we find ourselves in as everything on the planet is transforming.

The retreat was inspired by Anina’s wide range of experiences running various businesses for more than 18 years, coupled with her own transformation when she decided to exit the ‘matrix’ or rat race as some call it. Her insatiable interest in natural wellness, psychology, hidden truths and personal transformation, fuelled by her own wellness journey over 20 years including a spiritual awakening, is what ultimately inspired her to focus her efforts on helping others through a series of annual retreats hosted in high-frequency locations around the world. Knowing how powerful the gifts are that her healer husband holds, her wish is help others transform by offering the combination of her and her husband’s experiences, abilities and knowledge in one retreat format, and what better way than to offer that experience in an exotic, high-frequency ‘earth vortex’ location like Mauritius in a beautiful high-end resort. Anina and Dr Lan has a long history with Mauritius and with their life experiences make for the perfect yin and yang team to help you on your transformational journey and help you meet your personal goals, as they enter the 3rd year of hosting these destination retreats.
This is a retreat that will help you transform your life and connect your body, mind and soul as one. It will leave you empowered to be your own guide and healer after your departure, instead of always being dependant on outside healers, gurus and masters, which in itself can be somewhat disempowering. Our goal is to empower you with tools and daily practices that will allow you to continue your further evolution and transformation after you leave this retreat, as we prepare to enter higher consciousness as a planet with the birth of the Golden Age of Aquarius.
The Destination 
Our destination is the famed 5-star LUX* Grand Gaube Resort, which is located on a pristine private beach on the northeast coast of Mauritius, one of the most beautiful and lush islands in the Indian Ocean. The island of Mauritius contains a powerful earth vortex, something that is evident when you set foot on this magical island and feel its powerful energy.
 
At LUX* Grand Gaube you will experience unparalleled laid back luxury and elegance, nestled at the edge of a breath-taking lagoon. LUX’s tiered thatched hideaways offer a picturesque retreat, with each room overlooking three aquamarine bays framed by graceful filao trees. Prepare to be captivated by the spectacular views and potent energy, as the lagoon stretches out before you, adorned with the glistening jewels of the north coast islets on the exquisite island of Mauritius.
Synchronistically, the area of Grand Gaube on the island’s beautiful northeast coast, whilst close to Grand Baie’s popular shops and restaurants, is also the perfect quiet hideaway, far away from all the traffic, noisy tourists and parties found in many other areas on the island. Perfect for a transformational experience like no other.
The Resort
LUX* Grand Gaube is a 5-star resort for those seeking a wellness travel and transformational experience like no other. Offering privacy and laid back luxury, each suite, residence and villa at Lux Grand Gaube is a labour of love of interior designer Kelly Hoppen, who designed the resort to look like an interior designer’s holiday home. Settle in, relax and sunbathe, before embarking on your daily transformational retreat experience. Afterwards, take a dip in one of the pools, visit the spa, or just do nothing— feel free to make yourself at home as your wellness and transformation journey unfolds.
 
 
The entry level Superior Room at LUX*, which is what our retreat package is based on, is 51 sqm in size, allowing you to comfortably relax and retreat whenever you like, as if in your own private beach bungalow. Every corner of the resort is carefully considered to create a down to earth luxury like no other.
 
The Retreat
Your transformational retreat experience is marked by an authentic, masterful
guided programme of activities and wisdom teachings to empower you to affect change in your own life and transform how you see the world. This is not one of these superficial retreats filled with trendy trinkets and cool sounding activities that leave you right where you started before the retreat. This is the real deal. Expect to go deep, and to discover the power of your own soul like never before. At the end of the day, no one can transform you. Only you can. And you do that by doing the work. This retreat holds the space for that sacred process without too many distractions or superficial practices that sounds great on paper but don’t hold real permanent transformational potential. You’ll have the opportunity to go deep within on this retreat, whilst learning much about your own body, mind and soul. Personal transformation doesn’t happen when you escape. It happens when you surrender yourself to the journey. When you let go of control. When you allow yourself to enter that zero point. Magical things happen when you simply surrender and allow, and the practices that make up this retreat, will allow you to do just that.
   
Incorporating Dr Michael Lan’s more than 30 years of experience in energy healing, Chinese Medicine, and mentoring and guiding people from all over the world and from all walks of life, combined with Anina’s vast experience dealing with thousands of people during both her business and spiritual educational journey, you will experience and learn a daily transformative practice of Meditation and QiGong that you will be able to take with you wherever you go after you depart. Practicing these sacred arts on a high-vibrational island such as Mauritius, adds to the experience in a very powerful way – one that will imprint the memory of transformation into your cells forever. Guidance to help you transform your life and detach from all the false constructs, will ultimately help you to take control of your life and the direction it charts. These are the teachings that will be transmitted on a daily basis during our various sacred practices and the discussions we will be having as a group of likeminded seekers.
Typical daily programme:
On arrival at your destination, Anina & Dr Lan will take you through what you can expect on the retreat, along with a session of getting to know one another within the group. The retreat will purposefully be kept intimate, with no more than 10-15 participants. You will have a 45 minute consultation with both Anina and Dr Lan to discuss your goals for the retreat as well as any concerns you might have which you’d like to address and work on. The two sessions will be set up in-between activities on a first come first serve basis as early as possible into your retreat.
Upon waking up in the mornings, you will enjoy Anina’s Famous Morning Elixir with fruit by LUX* to start your day, and then embark on a few minutes of Sun Gazing before our Morning Meditation led by Dr Lan.
After meditation we will gather for Tea & Tao where we will partake in a session of Wisdom Teachings by Dr Lan incorporating the ancient Taoist philosophy, Buddhist teachings and the original Chinese Medicine concepts far beyond the modern teachings, all of which will allow you to better understand the various physical conditions and markers and how you can harmonise them within the body.
After that, we will enjoy a buffet breakfast courtesy of LUX*. We are encouraging you to focus on healthy food choices, as much as possible, such as fresh, light-filled nutritious food. Since this is a half board package that includes breakfast and dinner, we encourage you to make sure you have enough fuel for the day at breakfast, and that you have some snacks or fruit in the room in case you get hungry during the day. Should you choose to have a light lunch with the resort, feel free to do so on your own account.
After that you will have an opportunity to take a swim and have some free time to help you connect with the energy of the island. We highly recommend daily ocean swims to help clear and move energy within the body and soak up the healing spirit of the Indian Ocean. There are also various activities offered by the resort such as kayaking, scuba diving and sea plane flights.
In the afternoon, we will resume our practice. After a session of wisdom teachings, we will start our QiGong practice. Qigong literally means ‘Energy Work’. It is an art that is relatively easy to learn (at least the basics), but it holds the space for a continuous unfolding within a person, allowing you to unlock your own wisdom and healing within. It’s a magical practice many people continue daily for the rest of their life…  It’s designed to become part of your life and guides the way you hold yourself in the world As your sensitivity to energy grows, you will learn how to move, cultivate and circulate energy within the body, through each meridian and organ system. Only when your body is totally relaxed and in harmony, can you achieve higher states of consciousness, and QiGong, also known as ‘moving meditation’ can help you unlock everything that was stagnant within the body or mind, whether that is stuck emotional energy, a physical ailment, disharmony or chronic disease. QiGong helps you discover the body’s own organic technology, which, once unlocked, can help you access the higher realms at will. QiGong can be practiced by almost anyone, and can be customised to help each person achieve what they need to in order to balance their mind, body and spirit. It should be noted that the type of QiGong Dr Lan teaches is not the modern diluted types, but the ancient forms passed on verbally and through practice, from master to master. It is hard to find in a world filled with quick fix solutions driven mainly by ego…

You truly want to transform your life and learn to work with energy.
If you love high-end, transformational travel experiences in exotic places.
If you love pursuing your own evolution and growth.
If you want to learn how to connect and transform your BODY, MIND & SOUL.

Mount Liu Sanctuary opens its doors this month!

Mount Liu Sanctuary opens its doors this month!

 

MOUNT LIU NEW EARTH SANCTUARY OPENS ITS DOORS THIS MONTH!

We’re thrilled to let you know that the latest reincarnation of our MOUNT LIU New Earth Sanctuary, in Hout Bay Cape Town will open this November!

MOUNT LIU Sanctuary is the new home of my husband, Dr Michael Lan and I, and all the healing and spiritual activities that we offer. It’s been a long drawn out process of more than a year to meticulously plan our move from Stoneybrook, to finding the right piece of land to design and build our new home and healing sanctuary on in Hout Bay. Here we will be once again be dedicated to educate, heal and hold space for fellow seekers in their transformational journey. As a labour of love, we have created this new sanctuary by the river to not only allow us to live life on our terms but also to bring our dream of helping others in a more holistic way, to life, as we approach the ‘big shift’ our planet is about to go through. Indeed we look forward to having peace on earth very soon.

Why the name Mount Liu? In short, we are now claiming my husband’s original family name. You see our surname Liu somehow became Lan when non-Chinese speaking people were assisting my husband’s ancestors to immigrate from China. So we decided to pay homage to the original family name with the creation of Mount Liu Sanctuary. Being surrounded by mountains on both sides, it’s part of what makes Hout Bay so special to us. That and the fact that this village has truly become the blue print for how different communities can live together and learn to better understand each another in order to co-create the peace and harmony that we seek. Hout Bay is small enough to feel like a village, yet big enough to cater to all our needs. With its diverse culture and abundance of all things healthy and holistic, you really feel like have everything you need and that you don’t have to go anywhere, should you so wish.

Those that know us know that this is more of a calling than just work, especially in this chapter of our life. At our new sanctuary, we will welcome you to our Temple of the Tao where we will offer regular meditations (plus dedicated times to do self guided meditations), TaiQi & QiGong classes, plus gatherings and educational sessions about Qi, spiritual development and how we can co-create this beautiful New Earth (some call it Heaven on Earth) that we all look forward to. It also houses our new healing practice (which you came to know as Jing-An over the years), where we will offer the traditional Jing-An healing modalities, but in a more holistic energy healing kind of way, which for us goes much further than just acupuncture per se.

Patients and guests will also have access to our new Earth Cabin, surrounded by beautiful trees, and mountains. So if you’d like to turn your healing treatments and one-on-one sessions into a longer stay-over retreat experience, you will now have that option. We are also busy developing our new Medicine Garden, and also plan to have a Boma Circle in the coming weeks for inspirational group gatherings around the fire. With our beautiful Tao Zen Cabin you will be able to have your own custom resigned retreat programme made up of as many one-on-one mentorship & guidance sessions, meditations, QiGong and/or TaiQi training sessions, as you wish. You can also enjoy energy healing and acupuncture on site without having to face the traffic when you leave our zen space.

We can’t share any photos yet, apart from the one above as everything is still in the final stages of completion, but soon we will share more.

We can’t wait to receive you all soon. In the meantime, if you need an urgent healing session, we do have a guest room on our property where Dr Lan is currently providing select treatments. Please email info@jing-an.co.za if you need an appointment before our retreat centre officially opens, or if you’d like to make an appointment for after the 15th.

OUR 2025 DESTINATION RETREAT CALENDAR

Soon we will also announce our new Global Destination Retreat Calendar for 2025, which will take place in the most energetically potent destinations on earth, such as the beautiful islands of Mauritius, Thailand and/or Mozambique, along with some of Europe’s most inspiring places, Middle and South America and beautiful South Africa of course. We will start the year with a retreat in a coastal retreat in South Africa in January 2024, and after that, we will have a destination retreat every 3-4 months in different locations around the world. We hope to have the rest of our retreat calendar up and running soonest and look forward to welcoming you at one of our retreats if you feel so called. We’ve had two very transformative retreats in Mauritius and Robertson over the past year, and with us settling down a bit now, you can expect more of that in the future. If you’re interested to find out more, send us an email at info@vividprivé.com. More details on this soon.

We will continue to update you on our new sanctuary, workshops and retreats, and can’t wait to reconnect with you.

With gratitude,

Anina Malherbe-Lan & Dr Michael Lan
