Hello Reader,
In January this year I sent my last newsletter to you saying 'goodbye for now'. These last eight months have been very interesting and transformative. Life has guided me intensely into deep layers of myself. There was no hiding, there was no postponing, there was no chance of running away. I was very determinedly invited to face what was no longer serving me.
I have been unmade several times, leaving me bare naked and raw, in feelings, in life, in beliefs. And I was made again equally balanced as life does. Made into different ways of thinking, of seeing Life, and of moving in my work. More in tune with my true self. More in tune with my purpose and devotion. More in tune with my flow of energy. More in tune with the Mysteries of Life.
I took the first leap of faith that was asked of me by the Mysteries. My work and offerings that I gift the world today are the current result. For I now know that transformation and change are inherently connected with my life and in so, with my work.
You will note some changes:
- my primary language of communication is English hence forward. It is time for me to stretch myself and go international. I extend my offerings to the world at large.
- as I am in mode of ongoing transformation, my published books are as of current only available in Dutch*, but this is changing too! I already translated my first book 'Lief voor jezelf' into English and the others are following. So stay tuned and cross your fingers that an international publisher will be interested in my work.
- with this international character of my business, my lectures will shift to online offerings via my website or via external partners (offerings will be available both in Dutch and English). More concrete information on that soon! If you are an organisation who is interested in my talks (or you know an organisation who might be interested), pls reach out and drop me an email!
- new group and individual offerings are created. I offer a personal mentoring session with Walking the Labyrinth and a recurring group gathering with Love & Belong Ritual. Both happen online. So if you are interested in working with me personally, check my website for these beautiful offerings.
- the energy of my newsletter has undergone a change too: I want to take my time, with a nice cup of tea, to write to you the background stories of my work. A look behind the curtain, the why of my offerings, the flow of my life and tales of the Mysteries that I encounter. You will have noticed that you can now listen to my newsletter too. (Thank you, Julia, for inspiring me!) This is a new feature I want to introduce; and let's test it out! Let me know what you think of this. I notice that the vocal arts are activating my creative juices once again and I want to explore this Mystery further. Curious what will be birthed out of me in the time to come.
So lots has happened. I hope you are not overwhelmed by all the changes and the transformation my work has gone through. A lot more is to come in the future, as I feel my creativity buzzing with lovely offerings still to manifest. But for now, I will leave you to digest and discover what I am already giving.
Let the Mysteries of Life guide us to who we truly are...
Much love,
Ellen
*The next book 'Magie in jezelf' -my latest personal manual with the emphasis on the spiritual power of Witchcraft- is coming out this fall 2026 (for the moment only in Dutch). Stay tuned!
