- Our Story -
"Casa" represents masculine energy/elements, and "Rituals" the feminine energy/elements...merging David and Marit's skills and energies beautifully.
To help bring everyday mindful intention to the busy modern-day person.
We live in a dualistic world… light and darkness, yin and yang, masculine and feminine. But bringing these contrasting sides into balance and harmony allows us to experience more joy, authenticity, and depth in our lives.
Our story is about the evolution of two outsiders who have been in pivotal junctures of history and life to co-create our own story. We have been melted by diverse ideologies. We grew up under the oppressive communist system in the USSR and lived in various European countries until we settled down in the free-market capitalist USA.
David's goal was to live in the free world and break through the iron curtain of the Soviet Union. in 1989, he finally had his chance and left the USSR for Italy as a political refugee.
Marit's opportunity to leave the oppressive soviet system happened in 1990 with an opportunity to study fashion design in Finland. Our paths crossed in 1991 at a christmas party- it was an instant connection for two dreamers in their search for a partner for the journey called life. Now, 30 years later, we can affirm that we achieved all the blessings we could have asked for about family, all the ups and downs, four of us together-we have two daughters. All of those moments made us who we are -all the searches led us to realize that answers to everything lie inside ourselves and that longest journey is from head to heart.
In our journey, we sought ancient and modern spiritual practices, and we found that the methods are like tree branches of one big tree connected through the human imagination and grounded with strong roots.
David has an extensive background in alternative healing, with over 28 years of experience in globally renowned five-star spas, connecting with customers worldwide. Over time, he has come to find the most joy and passion using sound healing as a primary tool to help improve physical and emotional health. The overall benefits being ultimate relaxation and inner peace, during both one on one and a group experiences. David now regularly guides sound baths and Yoga Nidra meditations for groups and private clients.
Marit embarked on her healing journey of self-discovery over 16 years ago, learning to thrive while living with an autoimmune disease. She began by embracing a plant-based diet and alternative medicines. She started her mindfulness practice through Yoga and meditation, which allowed her to go deep within and peel off layers of conditioning and self-blockages to discover that self-acceptance, love, and joy are all within each of us.
Marit discovered heart-opening Cacao and Quantum Energy Healing right before the pandemic hit, and the past few years have been all about bridging the ancient wisdom of Cacao with modern energy healing techniques. Even traveling to Guatemala to live with shamans for a month to learn how to facilitate Cacao ceremonies to honor ancient practices and cultures. Her passion lies in holding space for others to connect with who they are and guiding them to radiate their magic back into the world.
Marit is certified in Cacao Ceremony facilitating, Reiki, Quantum Dowsing, and Feng Shui practices.
