Weโre back Gโs! Maar deze keer in een nieuwe vorm.
Op zaterdag 23 mei bundelen TAKEaSEAT en Gevoelige Snaar de krachten in Theater Zuidplein. Een middag waarin muziek, gesprek en ontmoeting samenkomen rond รฉรฉn thema: vrijheid.
Samen gaan we in gesprek over wat vrijheid betekent; Wanneer ben je echt vrij? Wat als jouw vrijheid ten koste gaat van die van een ander? En durf je eerlijk te kijken naar je eigen rol daarin?
Breng je gedachten. Breng je mensen. Breng jezelf. We hope to see you there!
Less noise, more sound๐ฆ
I return over and over to the creation of life itself.
Weaving the songs of life together with the allies.
Honored for this co-creation, praying my way through it, chanting my way through it, humming my way through it, singing my way through it.
Not perfectly performed, but sacred and honorably connected. Only then sound frequencies can hit the right place, the heart. ๐ค
Weโre back, Gโs, in a brand new space! Which makes a question feel urgent: what does (a) community(space) actually take?
This talk is an invitation to imagine community as a safety net: a space where people donโt just gather, but belong, participate, and hold each other up.
Together weโll explore the conditions that make that possible; shared values, clear guidelines, and the responsibilities we carry with one another to keep a space safe, welcoming, and inspiring.
Come bring your perspective, your questions, your lived experience.

Deep nervous system rewiring. ๐งฌ
Chiric Sanango โข A threshold plant โ one that initiates into a deeper level of truth and alignment. Therefore the clarity it brings is forever lasting, just like fire burning away all that is no longer needed, leaving only what is essential.
Just like any rite of passage I have had in the past years, it was everything except comfortable. This sacred teacher demands respect, perseverance, honor and dedication.
To breathe conciously through the nausea, your body might feel weak at that point but once you pass that threshold, your whole system is cleansed.
To sit with and in the discomfort and to listen at what your body and spirit are communicating with you.
Not through comfort, but through confrontation. Guiding those who engage with it towards profound clarity and personal power.
An initiation into a deeper part of your soul, into a deep connection with mother earth, into a deeper connection with your path. Shedding old skin, that you no longer resonate with. Working from the inside out, so you can gain mental clarity.
This Master Teacher is known as a โWarrior Plantโ that strengthens integrity and inner discipline. A gentle but clear guidance in how to listen with discernment and how to translate what the voice within is whispering.
Gracรญas Maestro Chiric Sanango, I bow to you in full honor. ๐ค

Las montaรฑas, donde mi cuerpo se siente en casa. Las aguas, donde mi cuerpo se siente llevado.โฐ๏ธ
๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง-
there where life is created but where life can also end. an ocean full of stories, full of life. she knows my stories.
the womb of a woman that carries life within her, is protected by water, life grows in the darkness of water.
roots grow towards the darkness. soul grows towards the light.
she listened to my first heartbeat and witnessed me taking my first breath. as she contracts and expands, I inhale and exhale life.

I was privileged enough to receive my Munay Karpay & Mesa Andina Initiation -sacred altar/medicine bundle- from Marรญa Apaza and her family, the last direct ascendants of the Incas.
This day was filled with sacred ceremony, the Qโero elders guided us through our initiations, into opening our hearts. By first letting go of any ๐๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ -๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ถ๐ฒ๐-.
Followed by more transmissions to connect us with the universe as a whole, our lineages, ancestors, the mountain spirits. Coca-leaves readings and purifying rituals, prayers, to root even deeper in the wisdom gained during the day.
Receiving this heart opening initiation from such wise elders, in this sacred land, between the mountains, is something I will forever carry with me, with deep respect and honor. Deeply grateful to widen my connection with Pachamama, The Apus, the Perรบvian lineage interwoven with my own. โจ
Gracias hermana, for your devotion to us and our processes. For your wisdom and ever grounded guidance. For sharing all of you, so unapologetically @esluzinterior ๐ค
And nuestra Capitana @dyanthe.spiritofgaia gracias for organizing such a sacred trip. Where we all could mainly focus on our journey there. Your incredible guidance and the way you held space for ALL of us (including the animals), while having your own processes, never goes unnoticed. In awe of you.๐ค

Here is to the 20 year-old-version of me, who got her heart broken but still choose to keep it open.
Here is to the 21 year-old-version of me, who got depressed but still found the strength within, to choose life every single day.
Here is to the 22 year-old-version of me, who felt lost and overwhelmed. But still envisioned better days, a softer life, healing and love.
Here is to the 23 year-old-version of me, who started breaking the cycle. Choosing love over hate, healing over resentment, acceptance over clinging.
Here is to the 24 year-old-version of me, where life only got harder, but she only got stronger.
Here is to the 25 year old, who was dealing with grief and deep loss. Yet, heard the calling of the plants and walked towards the whispers, in curiosity and dedication.
Here is to the 26 year old, who started to walk herself home. To her heart, the centre. With nothing but the unknown to hold onto.
Here is to the 27 year old, who allowed more softness in, this time towards herself.
Here is to the 28 year old, who surrendered to the universe, who learned to live deeper in the moment and trust divine timing.
Here is to the 29 year old, that found herself humbled by life. Innerstood the darkness deeper, no longer scared. Took her innerchild by the hand and said โI got you, I got us.โ The one who sees that, She is light, She is love, She is medicine.
Honored to have walked this earth for 30 years, deeply devoted and thankful to walk it with such guidance, universal precision, and love in my heart. With respect and pure wonder over all that is.
To be able to smile through the tears and understand that life is a duality. That it is not all that serious, but it is all definitely sacred.
My soul is deeply touched by those that I cross paths with, the (in)visible forces that stand by me in guidance and with deep wisdom. The plant teachers, the original ancestors, you will always have my deepest respect and honor. To this body that has carried me through deep pain, transformation, healing, I am in absolute awe of you.
Gracias a Dios. ๐ค
Mavio, warrior of light๐๏ธ
What an honor it has been, to have known you for 13 years. We went from these little kids to grown ups together.
Every heart you touched, was never left the same. You were so authentically you, every word of connection that you spoke was pure poetry, in a way that I knew you truly saw-, respected- and supported me.
I love the way we shared music and you were always like: โI think you will like this oneโ.. because it meant that, you were thinking of me. Your angel comforting voice, would quiet the heavens, so they could hear you sing. It had such an unfiltered rawness, the way only you could sing and touch my heart.
I love how we would have our inside jokes, that we would laugh so hard about. Cause no matter how hard life got, you always made me laugh until I cried. Your arms had the warmest and softest hugs. Getting a hug from you, meant that my heart was a little bit more healed after that.
We always made sure we knew how we felt about each other. And that our gratitude and love for one another was known and heartfelt.
I wish life was so much more sweet and soft to you. You never complained about the heaviness of it all, you took it and walked this earth with such deep respect and devotion to self. You stood in your light, as the warrior that you are, kept your head up and made sure the people you loved knew their strength as well. I wish we got to know each others kids, and that they would grow up together, but I will tell mine stories about you.
There will never be a soul like you, nor a friend and brother like you. THANK YOU for our memories together, the depth of our connection that transcends time and space. The depth of the love we hold for each other, that makes it both so incredibly painful and carries me in this moment. I will miss you so deeply, my heart will forever carry you. But I will find your soul, in this life and any other.
May the heavens give you a warm and soft homecoming on your earthday. We celebrate you today & every day. Parabรฉns amor e tambรฉm descansa em paz e luz.๐๏ธ
See you on the other side my love.
I LOVE YOU so much Mavi!
Let me know when you make it home safe๐

My whole being is still integrating, still feeling it through. The puzzle pieces are still falling into place.
When I made the concious decision to go to Perรบ and answer the calling, I knew in my bones that this would be such a profound journey. A journey of death and rebirth. Rite of passage. A transformation, that reaches the depths through time and space.
Life is a continuous journey of death-(re)birth-transformation. But thisโฆ I could not have made this up, even if I would want to.
Thisโฆ I did not even see this coming, not in my wildest dreams either. Only the journey of life itself could have prepared me for such deep initiation, release and home-coming.
Only the support and love of those that have walked the path, lived the journey and felt their way through it all, could have kept me sane and rooted.
Only the strength of all body-mind-soul, could have kept me centered and ready to take it breath by breath. One foot after the other.
Only the dedication that I have had to this path of self and the plant allies and by walking it in full honor, respect, patience and rawness (even when I hit rock bottom or when I find myself with my back against the wall), is where I could channel my innerlight and faith from toโฆ keep goingโฆ
At times I donโt even have the words, some things are just meant to be lived, experienced and kept in its sacredness. When the time is there, I will share some more.

A wise woman, doesnโt become a wise woman without walking the path of her own spirit. Cleaning and healing themselves and thus her lineage.
A wise woman, doesnโt become a wise woman without sacrificing parts of her life. By using her voice to speak her truth.
A wise woman, doesnโt become a wise woman without going through the discomfort, pain and shadow-work. Alchemizing all of that into the embodiment of joy, love and healing.
A wise woman, doesnโt become a wise woman without the ancestral knowledge and stories of their own lineage. Honoring the very roots that gave her life.
A wise woman, doesnโt become a wise woman without death and rebirth over and over again.
A wise woman, doesnโt become a wise woman without surrendering and allowing herself to be held by the force that created her.
A wise woman, doesnโt become a wise woman without listening to the whispers of her heart and following the path of her very own story.
She becomes a wise woman, by the initiation of life itself.๐ฆ
