Haha nee hoor viel wel mee dat lallen ;-) (for translation into other languages, please use the translation tool in the right sidebar, thank you! ->) Deze blog wil ik wat breder trekken en ook 'gewoon' gezellige weekendjes/dagen weg gaan delen met jou. Nu ben ik al een tijd, ook al voor Covid, Nederland aan het ontdekken en ik deel graag mijn liefde voor dit mooie land! Want wat heeft dit kleine landje een hoop prachtige plekken en rijke geschiedenis. [...]
Coming home to an old Oak-> For the English translation please use the translation widget in the sidebar on the right. Al enige tijd leeft in mij het verlangen mij meer uit te drukken in mijn moedertaal, zo ook op deze blog en website. Nu ik mij meer en meer aan het verdiepen ben in mijn thuis, mijn heim (is heimwee niet een prachtig woord? Het ontroert me altijd diep), is ook taal hier een belangrijk onderdeel van. In het verleden [...]
This is the second part of my travels to the north of The Netherlands. Apologies for taking a while to get this onto 'paper' so to speak as I have been in the middle of home improvements (finally double glazing! I hope no more ice cold winters inside). So after leaving the Wild Roots Herbal Retreat I went to Heerenveen, Friesland where I would stay four nights at a B&B. The first day I visited Hemrik and the other days I [...]
Part 1 Wild Roots Herbal Gathering (Part 2 will be posted later - a visit to my father's (and my) roots in Friesland) Hello, long time no write as I have been away for a few days and as it is Summertime, I am outdoors more than indoors behind the computer (when I am not working). I hope you are doing the same, finding peace, new strength and inspiration in nature. I heard the whisper "stop working so hard and play. [...]
Almost happy weekend! How are you? I hope you received an empowering Supermoon Eclipse on Wednesday? I will be sharing my experience and personal tarot reading I did that day, at a later time. I am pretty busy on weekdays, so not much time to blog, will catch up though. First I want to share about last weekend's 3-day mini-holiday in Markelo, Overijssel. My photographs can be found here on Flickr. Markelo Last weekend, Friday, my friend Karina and I took [...]
This Beltane post is rather late as I wasn't at home that weekend and needed some time to integrate and sit down to write it all down. This year I celebrated Walpurgisnacht and Beltane at Earth Awareness in Teuge, The Netherlands for a Psilocybin mushroom ceremony. Earth Awareness is one of the oldest and biggest off grid centre of the Netherlands. The creators Mark and Maya and many volunteers have built a beautiful Nature Temple here. This is an initiation centre [...]
Happy July! I hope you are enjoying the Summer (Northern Hemisphere) as much as I am. I just love the warmth, the sunshine, the energy, and wearing light dresses and sandals! Sigh... Eclipses Astrologically this month looks interesting with two eclipses (2 July with the New Moon and 16 July with the Full Moon). Eclipses present us with massive accelerations of growth, usually during very short pockets of time. These accelerations offer us very big energetic opportunities. Mercury turns retrograde on July [...]
Last week I was away for a workshop week in Niedersfeld Germany (near Winterberg in Sauerland). This was a Self Knowledge retreat hosted by Pateo (Johan Oldenkamp). The location was at Savita, It is a meeting place and a place of inspiration for "seekers". People with the desire to give their lives more depth, the desire to break through restrictive thoughts and patterns, to experience more love, to get a better grasp of their own lives, to get more contact with [...]
When I am lost I travel so I can come back home. Those are the words that repeated itself in my head throughout my trip to Italy. I have just returned from Italy where I stayed for 8 days, but feel like I have been away for weeks. I have seen and walked so much, the sensual input totally overwhelming me. My body is tired, my head is still on holiday-mode, I lost four kilos from all the walking, but [...]
Hello you!! How are you? Hope you are well. The past few weeks have felt very intense and challenging for many as energies affecting us were very strong. A lot of us were faced with old challenges and patterns. Things we thought no longer had power over us came up strong to be seen and healed once and for all. Deep rooted fears can be addressed, lessons can be learned and healed so that we can then move on and open [...]
