The same kind of projects he performed all over the world for healing nature- and city-landscapes, which effects more harmony of this areas, for example the castle park in Köln-Türnich / Germany, at the border near by Londonderry / Northern Ireland and in Salzburg / Austria.

He is living with his wife Marika in Šempas, Slovenia. They have three daughters and three grand children. It is a great pleasure for him to work within a family team. His wife Marika is helping him with carving of stone needles for our lithopuncture projects. Two of his daughters and colaborators, Ajra Miaka und Ana Pogacnik, are working with angel energy as spiritual healers. The messages of the Earth healing Angel Devos are of fundamental importance to their work. Marko Pogacnik, as well as his daughters, has published several books. Also in seminars and workshops he is transmitting his knowledge.
Enduring Peace The feminine principle is a cyclical principle. Death, changing and war are not excluded like it is in a masculine system which always fights for peace, and produces war. Peace do not means "to make peace", but peace is the recognation that everything what does not be rooted deep in the earth and high in the spirit always will come across with difficulties, in changing, death and war. This belongs to the feminine wisdom: only by inner transformation one may attain to peace. If once the inner peace will be attained, the outer peace among people and peace between humans and nature, and earth can arise also. Otherwise peace only will be superficial - a masculine strive for control. |
