~ Highlights on Spiritual Art exhibitions, performances, concerts & business ~
Since 1978 I followed several meditation and spiritual awareness schools and lifestyle movements (Kushi Inst., Agni Yoga, SOPPh). Somewhere in 1979/80 my life took a turn when
I had a Kundalini experience while being in the audience of a Dervish concert. From then on I had remarkable meetings
with healers, spiritual masters (Chi Kung, Esseen & Sufi masters), medicine people and shamans to this day.
Apart from my carreer as secretary of the board of management I started to become an organisor and assistant to spiritual leaders and shamans.
Founded the Werkgroep De Cirkel (1983) through which we studied, organised workshops and invited healers and shamans.
A retreat followed by a Vision Quest in 1983 showed my future path and even more guidance appeared.
That same year the singing bowls chose me as their instrument and taught me even more about sound, colour and their vibrations.
In 1985 I dared to go into the public, the restart of my Spiritual Path by Art through exhibitions (paintings), performances, concerts, workshops etc. with the singing bowls.
As the first woman in W. Europe playing the singing bowls in a feminine way, the Shakti way.
Later that year (september 1985) the gong chose me as their next instrument apart from the bowls, in years more and more instruments joined in.
They initiated me into their vibrations of the 5 Elements.
Apart from assisting and organising shamans, I later became an advisor to journalist and colomnists on shamanism. Worked on many projects
e.g. for the book of Felicitas Goodman on Shamanic postures.
Denise Whitefeather Lynn initiated me as a Vision Quest Leader, from Hyemeyohsts Storm I received my shaman name "Raven".
I met my Soulsister Anke van Ziel in 1994. In 1996 Anke founded the spiritual television program under VENUS TV, I joined her in this
project and became partners in work and life.
In 1999/2000 we jump into a new adventure to bring more spirituality into business to make a start in the new spiritual economy.
Nowadays we explore the solutions of new energy, making this into reality and are still coaching and advising in spirituality, soul alignment and the Rainbow Spiritual Warrior Circle.
