A 3-hour self-development practice exploring intimacy, sexuality & embodied connection.
What if slowing down could help you feel more—not less?

The Soul Sex Practice is a 3-hour, trauma-informed group practice for self-development, conscious relating, and embodied awareness.

Despite its name, this is not a sexy experience, dating event, or space for creating sexual encounters. Instead, we use Slow Sex and Voice Dialogue as tools to explore what happens inside us when we meet ourselves and others.

We believe sexual energy is much more than what most of us have been taught. For us, sex means sacred energy exchange—life force, creativity, desire, connection, vulnerability, and presence.

By slowing down, we can begin to feel what is actually moving inside us: our desires, boundaries, fears, patterns, inner voices, and genuine yeses and nos.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗘 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗘
Voice Dialogue & our inner voices
Slow, embodied awareness
Desire, boundaries & consent
Intimacy beyond performance
Touch, breath & presence
Relational patterns and conditioning
Expanding our understanding of sexuality and sexual energy
Connecting without pressure or expectation
Every exercise is an invitation. You remain in choice at all times.

You may stay clothed or undress layer by layer, with underwear always remaining on. There is no genital contact or penetration.

Nothing needs to happen. There is no goal to reach.

We slow down—not to create less, but to feel more.

Come curious. Come open. Come ready to meet yourself.

Shibari is een Japanse vorm van rope bondage waarin techniek, aandacht en verbinding samenkomen. Tijdens deze beginnersworkshop maak je in een veilige en ontspannen omgeving op een rustige en zorgvuldige manier kennis met het werken met touw.

Met aandacht voor vertrouwen, lichaamsbewustzijn en samenwerking ontdek je de basis van deze bijzondere praktijk, die haar oorsprong vindt in Japan.

Intentie workshop:

Tijdens deze workshop staat niet de complexiteit van de technieken centraal, maar de kwaliteit van aandacht, aanwezigheid en vertrouwen. Het touw is een hulpmiddel om verbinding, lichaamsbewustzijn en samenwerking te verkennen, met jezelf en, waar passend, met een ander.

Je leert in een veilige, ontspannen en ondersteunende omgeving, met alle ruimte om vragen te stellen, technieken in je eigen tempo te oefenen en stap voor stap vertrouwd te raken met rope practice.

Wat je leert:

* Een korte introductie in de oorsprong en achtergrond van shibari en kinbaku.
* Kennismaken met verschillende soorten touw, materialen en touwverzorging.
* De basisprincipes van fysieke en mentale veiligheid, waaronder circulatie, zenuwdruk en monitoring.
* De fundamentele bindtechnieken, zoals de single-column tie, double-column tie, spanning (tension) en touwplaatsing.
* Basisknopen, fricties en twee eenvoudige patronen voor het boven- en onderlichaam.
* Het ontwikkelen van lichaamsbewustzijn door te werken met houding, ademhaling, tempo en het waarnemen van lichamelijke reacties.

Voor wie is deze workshop?

Deze workshop is geschikt voor:
* Beginners met zeer weinig tot geen ervaring met shibari of rope
* Mensen die een rustige en veilige introductie zoeken
* Deelnemers die geïnteresseerd zijn in verbinding, aandacht en lichaamsbewustzijn
* Partners of koppels die samen willen leren

Je kunt deelnemen met een (gelegenheids)partner, een romantische klik is niet noodzakelijk. Van belang is dat jullie beiden openstaan voor het ervaren en leren van shibari.

Groepsgrootte:
We werken in een kleine groep met max 12 deelnemers, zodat er voldoende persoonlijke aandacht en begeleiding mogelijk is.

Wat mee te nemen:
* Comfortabele kleding waarin je vrij kunt bewegen.
* Eigen touwen zijn toegestaan, denk hierbij aan 2 á 3 stuks van 7.5 – 8 mtr lang, 6mm doorsnee. Mocht je niet in bezit zijn van eigen touw, geen nood, er is voldoende touw aanwezig om mee te oefenen.
*In de studio zijn voldoende yoga matten, kussens en dekens aanwezig.

Mocht je graag je eigen touwen bestellen dan kan dat bij Mail & Female Store Amsterdam. https://mailfemale.com/products/shibari-touw-japanse-jute-o-6mm/?aff=13 Met de code NATSUMI krijg je éénmalig 10% korting op je eerste aankoop.

Praktische info:

kosten: De workshop is 175,- Euro per koppel, dit is incl gebruik van materiaal, snacks en drankjes, deze zijn in de studio aanwezig, dus niet noodzakelijk om zelf mee te nemen.

Ligging: Studio Kokopelli ligt op loopafstand van Amsterdam Centraal Station en andere openbaar vervoer opties. In omliggende omgeving vind je ook meerdere openbare parkeergarages.

Restitutie bij annulering is niet mogelijk. Annuleren kan tot 48 uur van tevoren; je kunt je ticket dan omruilen voor een andere datum.

Over Natsumi:

Al lange tijd ben ik gefascineerd door de Japanse cultuur en de kunst van shibari en kinbaku. Als voormalig professioneel ballerina voel ik me aangetrokken tot de schoonheid die ontstaat wanneer fysieke grenzen, focus en discipline samenkomen. Mijn achtergrond in de dans heeft mij een sterk bewustzijn gegeven van anatomie, evenals van de mentale en emotionele aspecten van het werken met het menselijk lichaam.

Inmiddels ben ik zo’n twaalf jaar (inter)nationaal werkzaam als shibari artiest en rigger. Maar mijn eerste ervaringen met shibari deed ik op als model, waarbij ik samenwerkte met verschillende riggers voor performances en fotoshoots.
Tijdens deze samenwerkingen groeide mijn passie voor het zelf creëren van rope art. Gaandeweg verdiepte ik mij in traditionele technieken en in de subtiele, maar ook dynamische relatie tussen rigger en model. Vanuit die toewijding ontwikkel ik steeds verder mijn eigen, herkenbare stijl.

Naast mijn performances verzorg ik regelmatig workshops en bied ik één-op-één shibari-sessies aan voor mensen die shibari op een veilige en respectvolle manier willen ervaren, altijd in hun eigen tempo.

In mijn begeleiding staan vertrouwen, duidelijke communicatie en persoonlijke aandacht centraal. Ik werk regelmatig samen met andere docenten en professionals uit de tantra- en shibariwereld, wat mij mogelijk maakt om een diverser programma aan te bieden, verrijkt met verschillende invalshoeken en expertise.

Basic Course

Nonviolent Communication

5 Sundays

Dive into Embodying NVC

We all have one very important thing in common, no matter what our role is. As parents, children, bosses, friends, healers and leaders – we all need to master communication!

 

Nonviolent Communication (NVC)

 

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a simple, powerful and extremely effective tool for improving our communication skills in all our relationships (including the relationship with ourselves).

It helps us see clearly what blocks our communication from being effective and it teaches us what we can do differently to communicate in a way that actually works for us: where we live the very values and intentions we try to manifest with the people and relationships we care about.

 

NVC is like taking my meditation cushion into real life. It is Meditation in action.

NVC is a profound inner revolution that transforms the very way we learn to think and act in the world.

NVC shows a path to connect through conflicts and misunderstandings and build the ground for natural flow of trust, cooperation and creativity.

 

It helps us heal wounds within ourselves and between us and others.

It moves us towards being the leaders we want to be and contributing in the way we desire in any given situation.

And more and more and more…

 

About the trainer

Hi, my name is Marije, I create spaces where our full humanness is welcome—where shame, fear, and strength are welcome, and where both pain and joy can be fully felt, expressed, and seen.

My work is about intimacy: with ourselves, with others, and with life itself.

​​

Nonviolent Communication taught me how to embody the love that is in my heart—not just in moments of ease, but in the most challenging situations. Whether in conflict or facing my own inner struggles, NVC brings me back, again and again, to compassion.

Since 2015, I have been guiding individuals, couples, and groups toward deeper authenticity, intimacy, and liberation.

 

Some of the topics we will address in this course

​​

• How to be radically honest without being judgmental or demanding
• How to stand firmly and gracefully for your needs and assertively ask for what you want
• How to connect through conflict
• How to express and hear a ‘NO’
• The power of Empathy to dissolve anger, pain, fear and hurt
• How to hear the essence of what other people say, no matter how they express it
• And more!

 

About Nonviolent Communication (NVC)

NVC is widely used all around the globe as a tool for communication, conflict resolution, mediation, coaching and self-development.

NVC is successfully used in organizations, teams, businesses, politics, prisons, schools, families and relationships in millions of everyday life situations.

Learning style

You will be invited to work on examples from your own life in an interactive and safe learning environment. We will practice Nonviolent Communication through demonstrations, role-play and exercises in order to integrate NVC values and language more into our daily lives.
The way we teach is: 30% Theory and 70% of Practice/Demonstration/Learning from LIVE situations that are happening in the here and now. Our focus is very much on the Embodied aspect of ‘Nonviolent Communication’, so be ready to dive.

Extra support

Assistants: We will have assistants accompanying us during this course. They’ve already completed the Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Year Courses with us and some are engaged in their steps toward teaching/sharing NVC.

Do you long for more closeness, authenticity, and meaningful connection?
Would you like to express yourself more freely, without losing yourself?
What would it feel like to be truly seen, heard, and met—without having to hide parts of yourself?

During this experiential workshop, you’ll discover how small moments of authenticity can grow into meaningful encounters and genuine connection.

WHY IS GENUINE CONNECTION SO DIFFICULT
Most of us long for deeper connection and meaningful relationships. Yet when we meet others, we’re often preoccupied with:

how we come across;
what others think of us;
saying something funny or interesting;
keeping the atmosphere pleasant;
thinking about what we’ll say next;
giving advice, solving problems, or trying to fix things;
not wanting to disappoint anyone;
making a good impression.

As a result, we often miss what’s really happening: what is alive within us, what moves, touches or triggers us, what truly matters to the other person, and where the opportunity for genuine connection lies.

A DIFFERENT WAY OF MEETING
Authentic Relating is a unique, playful and experiential practice that helps you become more fully yourself while creating deeper, more meaningful connections with others. By slowing down and becoming fully present, you create space to meet yourself and the people around you with greater awareness and attention.

How do you find those moments where connection seems to arise naturally?
Where you feel most alive, relaxed and fully yourself?
Where both you and the other person feel seen, heard and truly met?

You’ll discover what happens when you let go of the need to perform, dare to feel more deeply, and reveal yourself a little more honestly.

WHAT TO EXPACT
Throughout the workshop you’ll participate in simple, engaging exercises in pairs, small groups and with the whole group.

You’ll practice:
slowing down and becoming fully present;
noticing what’s happening in your body and emotions;
expressing yourself honestly and authentically;
listening with genuine attention, without immediately reacting, advising or fixing;
noticing the impact others have on you;
recognizing and expressing your boundaries, needs and desires;
attuning to another person’s pace and boundaries;
creating space for playfulness, vulnerability and genuine encounter.

Authentic Relating is not about communicating perfectly or always being vulnerable. It’s about learning to stay present with what is actually happening—in yourself, in the other person, and in the space between you—so you can consciously choose how you want to relate. Everything unfolds step by step. You always decide what you want to share and how deeply you wish to participate.

WHAT WILL YOU GET OUT OF IT?
By slowing down, you’ll begin to notice what is really happening in your interactions. You’ll become more aware of the unconscious patterns that shape the way you relate to others, such as pleasing others, overthinking, keeping your distance, shutting down, or trying too hard to create connection.

At the same time, you’ll discover what helps you relax, trust yourself, and connect with greater freedom and ease.

After this workshop, you’ll have a deeper understanding of:
how you relate to others;
when you open up and when you close;
what you need in order to stay true to yourself;
how to communicate your boundaries without losing connection;
how to meet others without losing yourself.

COME AS YOU ARE
Bring your curiosity, your strengths, your insecurities, your emotions, your desires—everything that is alive in you in this moment. No experience with Authentic Relating, personal development or bodywork is required. Curiosity and a willingness to explore are all you need.

Experience how liberating it can be when you no longer have to hold anything back, and discover the power of genuine connection.

NEW WORKSHOP MEANS SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE!
Ready to go beyond the basics of witchcraft? Feel like you’re seeing the same basic information everywhere and wondering ‘what’s next?’ Curious about how you can develop the ideas you’re having? This new workshop is for you.

There comes a point when you have become familiar with the theory and practice of energy work, and have maybe cast a spell or three, picked up a divination tool, or sensed when it’s time for a deeper connection with spiritual matters. Your path is beginning to take shape. Your practice is making a positive difference to your quality of life.

Often, this is the point when people encounter a challenge or obstacle that derails or stalls their progress. Sometimes this is feeling like ‘it’s not working’; sometimes it’s feeling like ‘it’s working but not how I wanted it to’. Sometimes it’s felling discouraged that you don’t have the space, time, or tools that you see online. Either way, it’s easy to let your practice slide if it feels too challenging, or not challenging enough!

A huge amount of information is available in the form of books, videos, and workshops for beginners, and indeed for advancing down very specific paths. However, what if you just want to develop your personal practice rather than having to commit to an established system? This workshop aims to provide tried and tested ways (both magical and mundane) in which you can deepen your relationship with your inner and outer witch. Using near-universal archetypal energies of the four elements, the six directions, and a spirit familiar personal to you, we can create a framework that supports and enhances your unique path.

During this workshop we’ll use guided meditation, breath work, and the traditional Witch’s Compass to create focal points for learning and discussion. As usual at a Witch Lantern workshop you’ll receive an informative workbook, a goody bag of witchy treats, and plenty of snacks.

Practical Witchcraft: Advancing Your Practice asks the questions and provides the answers to strengthen and enrich your experience, whether you have an ongoing regular practice or are looking for a way to restart your journey into witchcraft.

A few practical points:

– Yoga mats, blankets, and cushions are provided
– Tea and gluten-free vegan snacks are provided
– There is a private bathroom attached to the studio space that is just for workshop participants to use
– The studio is down a short flight of wide stairs. Unfortunately this is the only access to the studio so if you have any questions about accessibility please email me.
– Please note that filming and taking photos are not permitted during the workshop.

Full disclosure: this session may run longer than the scheduled time, as it’s a new workshop, so please bear this in mind when making plans. Naturally you don’t have to stay til the end but I’d like to make sure you have the full experience.

Coven of the Waning Moon – Waxing Moon Edition!

In a change to our scheduled program, this month we will meet during the Waxing Moon and therefore explore themes of what we would like to *bring in* to our magical and mundane lives. As we are in harvest season, this is also an opportunity to look at what we have sown in the first part of the year: how has it grown? What is ready to be cut down and brought in? What needs a bit longer to ripen?

This workshop explores the power of the phases of the moon to support us in taking space and time to rest and restore. Using storytelling and science, we can deepen our relationship with the moon. Guided meditation helps identify things that have run their course and are asking to be released.

This is a queer-led, all-gender open coven experience focused on intentional rest, release, and re-enchantment. The Coven of the Waning Moon is inspired by both traditional British witchcraft and modern magical practices; you do not have to be a witch or even have a specific belief system to attend and enjoy one of these workshops.

Different Monthly Themes

Each month a different theme is explored inspired by the season and corresponding archetypes. This theme is combined with the energy of the moon, a time of letting go and turning inwards, to create a guided meditation that takes you gently into your internal landscape as you rest.

This workshop is designed to be accessible but it is aimed at people who already have some experience of meditation or energy work.

All materials are provided and included in the price, plus snacks (vegan and gluten-free) and homemade chai!

ABOUT THE SEASONS CIRCLE PROJECT
Modern life, dictated by artificial schedules and the ever-present glow of screens, has distanced us from the natural cycles of the Sun and Moon—and from our own feminine creative essence. The Seasons Circle project was born from a deep longing to reconnect women’s rhythms with those of Mother Earth, through the celebration and awareness of the wisdom each season brings.

ABOUT THE AUTUMN CIRCLE
As Summer’s vibrant light softens and the days grow shorter, we are invited to slow down and turn inward. Autumn is the season of harvest—of gathering the fruits of what we have planted, and of letting go of what no longer serves us, as the trees gracefully release their leaves. This circle offers a sacred space to reflect with gratitude, honor the abundance in our lives, and prepare our hearts and wombs for the stillness that lies ahead.

ABOUT CACAO
Cacao is an ancestral medicine, known for opening the heart and awakening presence. Its gentle spirit leads us into a deep state of connection — with ourselves, with others, and with the heartbeat of the Earth.
Rich in antioxidants, minerals, and mood-enhancing compounds, cacao works on both body and soul: it gently energizes, calms the mind, and nourishes the heart. In ceremony, it becomes a portal for inner listening, intuitive flow, and emotional healing.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Cacao Ceremony, Meditation & Reiki
Nat guides us on a heart-opening journey through the medicine of cacao, harmonized with guided meditation and the healing energy of Reiki. (Optional: microdose of truffles to deepen the inner journey.

Wisdom of Autumn
An invitation to turn gently inward and soften into reflection. Guided by Nic, we open space to receive the gifts that autumn brings: the art of letting go, the beauty of change, the richness of harvest, and the quiet wisdom gathered through seasons of growth. Together we honor what has ripened, release what is ready to fall away, and listen for the deeper dreams preparing in the stillness for what is yet to come.

Herbs of the Season
We’ll dive into the world of autumn herbs, exploring their healing properties and learning, hands-on, how to prepare natural remedies and potions to take home — companions for comfort and self-care throughout the season.

Nourishment & Sharing
We close the circle with light snacks and heartfelt sharing among women, nurturing body and soul in a space of warmth and loving connection.

WHO IS IT FOR
For all women who feel the desire or need to gather in a circle with other women, to nourish sisterhood, and to connect more deeply with the energies of each season of the year.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellations 15+ days before the event: 100% refund

In a world where many strive and celebrate to be and look younger.. We will do the opposite: Celebrate Ageing!

Enjoy our age, the wisdom we have and will gain. Explore our relationship with the fact that we will become old and be called grandmothers one day or are already.

If you long to be connected to your wise self, embrace the Crone – Grandmother archetype and want to explore her ways.. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐫.

What if you could express your full powerful, truly knowing, ageing self and be celebrated for it? That’s what we are going to do in the Crone | Grandmother Ecstatic dance gathering.

Gift yourself a moment of self discovery and pure freedom to be who you are.

Dance as sensual, powerful and free or still as you need. Move as the body calls you. Release. Shake out. Play and discover how your inner crone wants to express.

Open your heart in cacao ceremony and fill up your cup with your authentic energy.

Treat yourself with an ecstatic dance for women only (or if you identify as one)! Join on your own or with girlfriends.

This dance journey is a blend between:
cacao ceremony + ecstatic dance + somatic practices + sharing circles like in women’s circles and connecting to each other + other offerings
(It’s much more than just Ecstatic Dancing)

No dance experience needed!

You can arrive from 18:15 to get ready
We start with a sharing – get to know each other circle.
At 18:30 we begin cacao ceremony for softening in the presence.
The journey will be 2 hours long – from surrendering to emotions followed by a blissful rise into freedom.. dancing uniquely as your body wishes in the moment.
Finishing up with a loving sharing circle that always brings deeper connection.
20:30 we close the journey, but there’s time to talk and catch up with each other.

We have female space holders, to make sure you feel safe and supported for the whole journey.

What you need to take with you?
• Socks (we will dance barefoot or in socks).
• Special outfit that allows you to move freely and feels amazing (you can change on the spot).

Come to dance and play in a beginner guided dance journey with the Crone Grand mother energy! It’s time you discover and step into your power.

The hosts – Linda is a Relationship Coach:
She started to dance when she was 6, now she’s 34 and feels like her dance journey has just began. Teaches social dancing (Salsa, Kizomba, Bachata) and African dances for 9+ years. She is also our cosmic DJ. Linda leads communities like her Femininity Community ❤️‍🔥

Maartje has been holding cacao ceremonies since 2022 and has her foundation in energy- and bodywork, like reiki, massage, cupping, different somatic practices and more. From 8 years old she is classically schooled in playing the flute, solo and in orchestra. When her holistic path evolved, so did her instruments and understanding of music.

We are so looking forward to meet you (again), and to what this evening is going to bring. If you have any questions or remarks, please feel free to reach out to us.

Until then, much love,

Linda, Maartje and Iina

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗟 𝗦𝗘𝗫 𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗔𝗠𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗠
A 3-hour self-development practice exploring intimacy, sexuality & embodied connection.
What if slowing down could help you feel more—not less?

The Soul Sex Practice is a 3-hour, trauma-informed group practice for self-development, conscious relating, and embodied awareness.

Despite its name, this is not a sexy experience, dating event, or space for creating sexual encounters. Instead, we use Slow Sex and Voice Dialogue as tools to explore what happens inside us when we meet ourselves and others.

We believe sexual energy is much more than what most of us have been taught. For us, sex means sacred energy exchange—life force, creativity, desire, connection, vulnerability, and presence.

By slowing down, we can begin to feel what is actually moving inside us: our desires, boundaries, fears, patterns, inner voices, and genuine yeses and nos.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗘 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗘
Voice Dialogue & our inner voices
Slow, embodied awareness
Desire, boundaries & consent
Intimacy beyond performance
Touch, breath & presence
Relational patterns and conditioning
Expanding our understanding of sexuality and sexual energy
Connecting without pressure or expectation
Every exercise is an invitation. You remain in choice at all times.

You may stay clothed or undress layer by layer, with underwear always remaining on. There is no genital contact or penetration.

Nothing needs to happen. There is no goal to reach.

We slow down—not to create less, but to feel more.

Come curious. Come open. Come ready to meet yourself.

In this intimate circle we explore the breath as a tool to tend to our mental, physical and emotional state of being. By consciously connecting to your breath you can learn to navigate your mental state with more ease, process stuck emotions and release tension in the body. Microdosing, like breathwork, can help bring awareness to what is present.
We combine breathwork with a (optional) microdose of our homegrown sacred stones to amplify the experience of both.

Note: No prior experience is required. Should you have any medical concerns or curious questions about participating, or you are interested in booking a 1:1 breathwork session, please contact us.

Basic Course

Nonviolent Communication

5 Sundays

Dive into Embodying NVC

We all have one very important thing in common, no matter what our role is. As parents, children, bosses, friends, healers and leaders – we all need to master communication!

 

Nonviolent Communication (NVC)

 

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a simple, powerful and extremely effective tool for improving our communication skills in all our relationships (including the relationship with ourselves).

It helps us see clearly what blocks our communication from being effective and it teaches us what we can do differently to communicate in a way that actually works for us: where we live the very values and intentions we try to manifest with the people and relationships we care about.

 

NVC is like taking my meditation cushion into real life. It is Meditation in action.

NVC is a profound inner revolution that transforms the very way we learn to think and act in the world.

NVC shows a path to connect through conflicts and misunderstandings and build the ground for natural flow of trust, cooperation and creativity.

 

It helps us heal wounds within ourselves and between us and others.

It moves us towards being the leaders we want to be and contributing in the way we desire in any given situation.

And more and more and more…

 

About the trainer

Hi, my name is Marije, I create spaces where our full humanness is welcome—where shame, fear, and strength are welcome, and where both pain and joy can be fully felt, expressed, and seen.

My work is about intimacy: with ourselves, with others, and with life itself.

​​

Nonviolent Communication taught me how to embody the love that is in my heart—not just in moments of ease, but in the most challenging situations. Whether in conflict or facing my own inner struggles, NVC brings me back, again and again, to compassion.

Since 2015, I have been guiding individuals, couples, and groups toward deeper authenticity, intimacy, and liberation.

 

Some of the topics we will address in this course

​​

• How to be radically honest without being judgmental or demanding
• How to stand firmly and gracefully for your needs and assertively ask for what you want
• How to connect through conflict
• How to express and hear a ‘NO’
• The power of Empathy to dissolve anger, pain, fear and hurt
• How to hear the essence of what other people say, no matter how they express it
• And more!

 

About Nonviolent Communication (NVC)

NVC is widely used all around the globe as a tool for communication, conflict resolution, mediation, coaching and self-development.

NVC is successfully used in organizations, teams, businesses, politics, prisons, schools, families and relationships in millions of everyday life situations.

Learning style

You will be invited to work on examples from your own life in an interactive and safe learning environment. We will practice Nonviolent Communication through demonstrations, role-play and exercises in order to integrate NVC values and language more into our daily lives.
The way we teach is: 30% Theory and 70% of Practice/Demonstration/Learning from LIVE situations that are happening in the here and now. Our focus is very much on the Embodied aspect of ‘Nonviolent Communication’, so be ready to dive.

Extra support

Assistants: We will have assistants accompanying us during this course. They’ve already completed the Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Year Courses with us and some are engaged in their steps toward teaching/sharing NVC.

Do you also feel angry, but don’t feel like you have a safe space to let it out?
If yes, then this space was created for you! 😤

We women are holding so much in our daily life’s and we often choose not to show our anger as it is misunderstood. Either seen as way too much or as “cute”. Which, of course, only makes us angrier.. 🌋

This space is created by me Linda Horsta a Life Coach and a long time angry woman. My anger is deep, it is rageful. Luckily in my 20’s I discovered that I could release it in a healthy way by dancing and use the anger as fuel for healthy change, as a way to get to know my own power. Over time I discovered more and more about anger and eventually realised that I had made a ritual for myself to release it. I call it Rage Release Ritual.

It accepts anger. It allows to feel the “ugly”, murky, deeply unpleasant emotions I have in a safe way, that doesn’t hurt me or anyone else. I do it whenever I’m triggered. 🤬

I have also led it for other women in ecstatic dances in a shorter version. It allows us to be accepting of who we are. Understanding that our anger has an important role to play. It informs us about something we deeply care about and once we release the initial anger we can go deeper and take that strength and do something about it. 👿

When we allow our anger and physically release it by movement, our body gets to release the tension it has been holding. When we feel stress our stress hormones like cortisol are active and the main way for the body to release that tension is to move.

So if you want to discover how to learn to regulate your anger and deep emotions, join us for a big juicy rage release ritual!

What we will do:
– Get to know each other to feel safe,
– Journal,
– Move and dance emotions out,
– Rage!!!
– Connect to our power and what is our anger informing us about.
– Share our journey and bask in the calm after a good release.

How to prepare?
– Dress comfortably to move freely and sweat (you can change on the spot).
– Take a notebook and pen for journaling.
