“It is our wish that you will be inspired by your innate wisdom and express this inspiration in your everyday life – in your activities, your creations, your decisions and your interactions.”  -Angelic & Ilonka-

Selfcare   

In our Contemplative Studio we offer private sessions and workshops around selfcare based on eastern wisdom and practices that promote a harmonious relationship between the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our being. We work with the aspects of stillness(being)and movement(doing), and their integration.

The practices offered in our Contemplative Studio are:

Meditation

Through meditation our awareness and insight deepen. We develop gentleness and our ability to be fully present in our life, no matter the circumstances. Meditation offers us the possibility of space, of choice … so we can respond to life in a wiser, more playful and compassionate way. When we become more relaxed, we can be authentic and available for ourselves, others, and our world.

Qigong

The main focus of Qigong is to access the energy centre of the lower body (Dantian). The gentle yet powerful exercises enable us to feel centred and calm and to experience ourselves being part of the larger web of life. They are intended to clear, conserve, strengthen and transform our energy, thus improving our vitality and wellbeing.

Somatic Movement & Coaching

A somatic movement is a movement which is performed consciously with the intention of focusing on the internal experience rather than the external appearance or result of the movement. We can apply the essence of somatic movement to dance as well as to the practice of qigong and yoga. Used in coaching, this type of movement can become a powerful tool for awareness, development and change. After defining your quest you will be guided through movement exercises or assignments. Within your body’s possibilities you will explore in which way you can express images, thoughts, feelings, emotions and your inner rhythm. Your body will guide you and will be a valuable source of information.

Core Care Session

Core Care Sessions offer support in a holistic, gentle yet powerful way when you are ready to undertake an inner journey. The aim of the sessions is to (re)connect to your heart, and to become aware of and communicate with the various levels of your being, understanding and experiencing their interconnectedness. This requires patience, care and the willingness to work with yourself and your experiences in a respectful way. We work with guided meditation; communicating from the heart; getting to know your body and energy through breathing, posture and movement; attending to emotions and understanding their energy; cultivating gratitude and an open, curious mind; balancing your energy system to stimulate your self-healing properties.

Griefcare

Based on our personal experiences, we have come to believe that if we can be with ourselves in difficult, uncomfortable moments while attending to our emotions with gentleness, patience and non-judgement, we will be better equipped to sit with other people’s suffering too.

It is our wish to be a compassionate companion while you are dealing with loss and grief and to enable you to cradle your personal experience of grief, no matter what that looks like. We wish for you to be seen, heard and felt in the depth of that experience, by each one of us and by yourself. To discover your courage, not to overcome, but to live with your grief and heartbreak, and to be present for all that it takes, and for all that will unfold.

Re-treat yourself is the option to book a private retreat around both selfcare and griefcare in our tiny house Bed&Being.

It is possible to rent our Contemplative Studio (40 m2) for offering sessions or workshops that align with our view.
