About Atelier Aandacht

I believe that followers of a spiritual path (and particularly the path of Tantra) have access to an understanding of reality and the depth of existence that most non-spiritual people don’t. As we practice and meditate, our essential qualities start to shine trough more and more. We become more colourful and gain freedom to think for ourselves instead of depending on the opionion of the massess.

Blessed as we are, I feel we have the obligation to spread our experience and knowledge troughout the world. We can make her healthy, beautiful and peacefull again. Sadly, most of us experience a huge gap between the retreats and workshops we do – and the world we live in. At our jobs, in the supermarket and together with our neighbours, we don’t find the intimacy, peace and open-mindedness we so desperately long for. And we don’t know how to bridge the gap.

It is my mission to turn your world into a temple

When your home is a place of beauty and awareness; your soul can rest and be nourished. As you are constantly reminded of what’s important for you, you will have more energy and power to spread your lovely virus into your neighbourhood, into your city, into your country.

I was born with a pencil in my hands. During my whole childhood I was creating artwork after artwork, but after finishing Art Academy that suddenly stopped as I entered the university: a tragedy of lost passion that most of us experience in one way or another. In the Tantra Training at the Centrum voor Tantra, Amsterdam, I got back in touch with my divine qualities.

I was astonished by the power and intelligence of the Tantric deities and myths, reveiling so much about the human psyche. Becoming an artist once again, I specialized in the creating of home altars and spaces for meditation – helping you to bridge the gap and bring beauty and meaning into daily life.

I am very grateful for the love and support of my teachers Carla and Remmelt of the Centrum voor Tantra: thank you so much for the return of the magic in my life!
