I'm Awake.
The initiation to your true self.
A journey for women into more power, freedom & pleasure.
“I’m Awake” is an intimate deep dive of 6 days into your true self. We journey with a small group of 12 sisters into the heart of the feminine and masculine mysteries. We guide you through shamanic and tantric rituals to open the doors for remembering and reconnecting with your nature.
Imagine yourself liberated of limiting beliefs, fully in your power and experiencing pleasure everywhere in your life.
We will guide you through tantric and shamanic practises around self-love, power, pleasure, relaxation, conscious communication and the ability to manifest the life your heart is calling for.
This offering is for women who desire to connect deeper with their body, be fully present in life and experience spiritual, shamanic space in sisterhood.
With love, Katerina & Marijke
‘This journey was truly transformational. I have become much more aware of the connection to my
womb and sexuality. The programme was very well designed with great knowledge and Katerina and
Marijke created such a safe and open space. I learnt a load of practical exercises for daily life.

I am curious about life, people, nature, purpose, love, sexuality, spiritual connection, soul wisdom, expansion, letting go, health, exploring aliveness, fullness and human nature.
In 2014 my body screamed at me, experiencing a chronic pain, which has forced me to change my life and eventually it led me to this work:
I became a group facilitator, coach, energy & bodyworker in the fields of Consciousness, Tantra and Somatic Healing.
I see my my work as alchemy of lineage traditions, shamanism, yoga, meditation, tantra, psychology, and breathwork.
I have been facilitating transformational retreats, workshops, leadership and team building courses. I am also a one-to-one coach, offering embodied, somatic, spiritual, breathwork, yoga based sessions on line and in person.
What I have been discovering, learning and experiencing in my life in the last ten years has changed every aspect of my being and how I choose to live my life. I long to continue to deepen my own experience and to share what I have learned with others.
Being trained as an economist and expert at international relations, combined with two decades of policy making, management and teaching at universities I came to these new experiences with scepticism at first. I used to be guided mainly by my mind, perceiving my body as flash, following my beliefs that hard work pays back, and I am here to improve, learn and reach new goals that my mind would fix.
Initially, I began to explore meditation, yoga, tantra, breathwork, shamanism and mindfulness as tools for myself to heal my pain. Today these tools support and expand my spirituality, deepen my relating with my children, partner, family, finding authentic personal power allow me to live my life fully.
If you feel called to explore my offerings, I would love to meet you.
I am forever grateful to have studied and trained with many powerful teachers around the world. They are many and include Virginia Blanes, Jean Pierre Garnier Malet, Elaine Young, Rex Rafiq, Rafaello Manacorda, Wilna Eenkhoorn and Elena Bonastre.
With love, Katerina 💚
My name is Marijke Maria. I have a great passion for self realisation, holistic health, and the path of love and inner freedom, through embodiment.
My mission is to support each other to live a life in full alignment with our truth and heart, through the wisdom of our body and our true nature.
I am dedicated to choose love above fear and to dare to live fully. In envisioning a new world, my dream is one where we support each other to live our greatest potential in peace and community, in respect and co-creation with nature.
In daily life I offer yoga (kundalini & yin), providing coaching, bodywork and organizing retreats and womencircles. Drawing from my background as a psychiatric and somatic nurse, complemented by a Master’s degree in Health Science, I also contribute as a part-time teacher for the Bachelor of Nursing in the Netherlands.
Over the past decade, my studies have delved into yoga, meditation, tantra, breathwork, and somatic bodywork (dearmoring) from various cultural lineages and approaches, integrating both Eastern and Western perspectives, as well as Shamanic insights.
From an early age, I have been exploring the path of healing and liberation, navigating challenges, traumas, and moments of profound love, joy, and connection.
Overcoming childhood trauma and addressing physical issues stemming from burnout and endometriosis has been a significant part of my lifejourney. I remain forever grateful for the lessons learned, embracing life as a perpetual student.
Believing steadfastly in our capacity to heal, I advocate for the transformative power of experience and embodiment.
My mission extends to sharing this beautiful path of love and truth with other sisters, affirming that deep love and pleasure are our birthright. Together, let’s navigate this journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
With love, Marijke Maria.
Embrace exclusivity. Embrace transformation. Reserve your place today.
