May 27 – Nourishing the Feminine – in Amsterdam, the Netherland

With Antigoni Tsegeli (Greece), Panayiota Giannino (Greece), Catherine Dompas (France) and Yvonne van Remmen (NL)

Join us for a long, nourishing weekend on integrative health for women. Open to all (f / m / they). There is going to be meditation, Ki cultivation exercises and lectures on women’s health from an integrative health point of view. Please keep an eye on www.nourishingthefeminine.org.

The long weekend is a shared space to explore our values, to learn from one another, and to foster and deepen connection—to our feminine essence and to each other. To nourish the feminine is to cultivate warm connection and care. The ability to receive (not easy at all for many strong (wo)men!) and tp nourish our innate creative capacity. To re.member your warm and joyous heart.

What a pleasure and great honour to host Diego Sanchez again. Diego returns to Holland to teach in his most unique way how to use your eyes and all other senses (the peripheral vision). Diego blends his training and knowledge of shamanism, shiatsu, chakra’s and modern science. As a former fashionmodel he has a keen eye & mind for perception and perceiving.

Do feel welcome to come and develop your senses and your compassionate heart. Diego has a warm Southern-American, convivial way of showing you your capacity and expands that what you thought you were capable of. Do expect the unexpected. The last time we rounded up the workshop by dancing together to internalise our new ways of being in the world.
