YOUR SACRED VOICE
Gladys Vianen
BIO
Gladys is a Passionate woman with a big heart
She is a facilitator who carries an aura of depth and warmth. She truly embodies the medicine she brings to the table and has a profound way of making you feel seen, safe and …especially heard ;)
Discover the transformative power of your own sound in the "Release Your Sacred Voice" workshop, an empowering experience curated by Gladys. This immersive session takes you on a journey to the core of your emotions, allowing your authentic voice - that unique essence that is truly you - to rise and resonate.
Gladys, our experienced guide, will help you harness the potential of your voice as a tool for healing. Through vocal exercises and emotive expression, we'll work together to gently dissolve any energy blockages within your body. As these barriers melt away, you'll feel a renewed sense of freedom as energy flows unimpeded once again.
This isn't just about singing; it's about releasing raw emotion in its most primal form. We'll sing from our hearts, shout from our souls, cry out our pain and laugh with pure joy. It's about letting the ancestors hear our powerful voices echo across time and space.
Voice liberation is key to this process; it's about shedding old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve us. By freeing ourselves from these constraints, we open up space for new growth and transformation.
"Release Your Sacred Voice" workshop is more than just an activity; it's an opportunity for profound personal growth and self-discovery. Come be part of this liberating experience and let your voice ring out with strength and clarity!

Juul Mulder
Woman who runs with the Wolves
For a long time, I felt alone and lost... Thanks to sisterhood, I was able to experience that I am part of the whole, and that I am never truly alone (even when I am physically alone). That there are always women, sisters, around us and that we can also be there for other sisters... I feel so supported by my sisters and
"Within every woman resides a wild and natural being, a potent force filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and timeless knowledge. This is her inner wolf, her wild woman. But she is an endangered species... Fairy tales, myths, and stories from our foremothers provide valuable insights so that we may tread the path that nature has left behind.
A healthy woman resembles much of a wolf: robust, brimming with strong vitality, life-giving, territorial awareness, inventive, loyal, roaming... Through disconnection with our wild nature, we are not always in touch with this. But know dear woman that the source has never been lost and what has been buried can be unearthed again.
We will carry the stories of our foremothers into ceremony so you can claim ownership of your own narratives and connect with your wild woman - your intuition - your she-wolf!"
the universe, which brings so much trust in life... From the desire to bring this connection, this healing into the world and to involve women in this way of being with each other, of living together, I organize women's training sessions, annual festivals and circles. Where we get closer to our core, our inner knowledge.. that is my medicine; connection & intuition. And Yes! This is an invitation for you to join us sometime…
Judith Buxadeé Pombo
Story Weaver
Bio: coming soon
In the Western society we live in we worship individualism, an individualism we can extend to our mono nuclear families but no further, we have left behind what once was a pillar of solid foundation, comfort and wisdom: Our ancestors.
We tend to forget that we are the product of abloodline extremely resilient, strong and resourceful. Think for a moment of all the wars, witch-hunts, plagues, famines and natural disasters that humanity has endured through the centuries, snd yet your ancestry delivered you in the here and now and in relative safety. It is a though that personal baffles me but has also triggered me in exploring ways on how I can practically safe keep and share in our collective ancestry wisdom and to me the most effective way to do that is through the sacred act of Storytelling.
We have been telling stories already when wepainted them in caves, we need them because they educate us, they inspire us and shape our believes and morals. Stories help us make sense of the world around us, but most importantly, stories share information through emotional connection, they help us
understand each other and make that information memorable. Because stories create an emotional connection we can then gain a deeper understanding in each others experiences
Join me in this workshop to unpack the secret wisdom contained in the fairy tales, folklore and legends that once lulled you to sleep.
-Become the story teller and see the emotion glint in the eye of the listener
-Be the vessel that carries the ancient wisdom to the future
-Become once more the child safely tucked in and delight in the magic spell of Once upon a
time

Drum Circle
The drum, as old and enduring as Mother Earth herself, is not merely a musical tool. It serves as a mystical channel for ancestral voices reaching out from dimensions beyond our comprehension. Every beat carries echoes of wisdom and tradition spanning centuries, deeply resonating with our wild and purse essence.
Join the WILD WOMAN FEST drum circle to honor our ancestors and Mother Earth.
By the rhythmic, repeating sound of the drums, the brain and the nervous system get energized and transformed.
When a group of people drum together for some time, their brainwaves align.
It is the oldest way to unite with each other.
BIO:Marleen organizes "Grote Drum cirkel Castricum aan Zee". More then ten years ago she felt a strong calling to play the drums and Inspired by drum circles abroad, that took place on beaches, and Marleen living nearby the sea, it empowered her to start a drum circle. Through the years it grew into a beautiful community of men and women who connect through playing the drums, singing, dancing and celebrating life together.
Marleen is the embodiment of a Mother Goddess, deeply grounded and aligned with the sacred sound of the drum. She will guide the circle in the ancient rhythm of Life.
Singing Circle
Miriam Meara
In this singing circle I will take you on a singing journey with healing songs. Singing chants, mantra’s or medicine songs have been used for many years to open the heart, making it a healing, liberating and joyful experience. Our voice is a powerful tool to express ourselves and through singing we can open up to our authentic voice. Singing together is even more wonderful, it’s a way to connect to your own voice and with each other through music. The songs are relatively short, so you will be able to sing along pretty quickly. You don’t have to have any experience with singing or singing circles, everyone is welcome and having fun is the main focus. I will guide the songs with my guitar, ukulele, kalebas, handpan or we will sing a capella. Looking forward to seeing you there!
