lived through you.

This is about opening your heart & soul to the exponential potential deep within you, that is ready to be unleashed.

THE GIFTS OF THE DESERT
Vastness, Stillness, Purity, Energy and Frequency.
-
The vastness gives a sense of freedom and infinite possibility. And the profound stillness fosters a deep sense of calm and introspection.
-
The air is pure and can be spiritually uplifting and cleansing.
-
The energy in the desert is raw and elemental. It’s the energy of natural forces like the sun, wind, fire and earth. It invites us to deeply connect with the true aspects of our nature.
-
The frequency in the desert is low and slow, resonating with the earth’s natural rhythms. This promotes relaxation and a slower pace of life, allowing for deeper connection to oneself and the environment.

HORSE ALCHEMY
Systemic Rituals with the Herd
​
Experience systemic coaching with the herd as your leading spirit guides. Together, we create a constellation in the paddock and explore themes such as balancing the Feminine and Masculine energies, connecting with our Ancestral Field, and navigating Attachment versus Authenticity.
“Reflect in nature - with the elements, rocks and horses”
Based on the collective input of the group, we co-create a ritual that facilitates a shift in consciousness and a healing movement for the client. This process allows for old stories to dissolve, lost soul parts to be embraced, stuck energy to be released, and identity to be transformed. As a result, you gain more manifesting power to direct towards your authentic visions.
​
SACRED CEREMONY
In Ceremony, the ordinary becomes Sacred.
It is the marking of a special occasion whether this is a blessing, a release ceremony or a celebration. As we gather in ceremony, witnessing and holding each other in our compassionate hearts, we open the space for healing to occur.
By opening all our senses and connecting to Nature, the Elements and all the seen and unseen forces that protect us, we call in the support for our unique journey. Being in Sacred Ceremony offers deep healing, personal growth, and a profound sense of purpose, fostering deep personal and communal connections.
It facilitates inner transformation and encourages us to create a reality that reflects our Soul Purpose, knowing that by following our heart's call, we are serving the dreams of our ancestors, the community at large and our descendants. Joining in sacred ceremony is honouring the divine stream of life.
AWAKEN YOUR HEALING POWER
Dutch adventurers, Sjoukje Gummels and Sandra Jelly, share a longing to guide you to a deeper connection with the spiritual world and the wisdom of nature, it's animals, stones and elements. To create space that allows for gentle yet powerful healing, expression of your truest being and thus to encourage to transform your reality. Each in their own divine way. They invite you on an unforgettable journey into the vastness and stillness of Southern Jordan to awaken your intrinsic healing power and source of inner wisdom. If you feel called to expand your awareness, heal wounds and transform your reality then join us.
