Monique van der Velde – holistic coach, shamanic teacher, healer (The Netherlands). I am very grateful for Monique’s guidance and healings for several years. Without them, I would not be where I am today in my awareness of how my ego tries to protect me by creating lots of distractions, and in my connection to the Earth. www.moniquevandervelde.nl

Lucia René – mystic. Her work in liberating the Earth from the energetic chains of the rather painful patriarchical period we are leaving behind now is described in her book Unplugging the Patriarchy (2009). I highly recommend reading it. It’s both a great story and a course in mysticism.
On her website you can find great work study courses and a lot of other audio files that are accessible by donation, as well as interviews with women whom she cooperated with or who inspired her. www.luciarene.com

Click here to see an interview with Lucia René, by Elizabeth Wood (New Earth Conversations, 2020 – some time before the June Solstice).

Elizabeth Wood – seeer, anthropologist, mystic. Elizabeth is a student of Lucia René.
Check out her website for accessible webinars on – among others – cultural conditioning, DNA, Empaths & Entities. www.prismatichuman.com

Meg Archambauld – mystic. Meg is a student of Lucia René. If you need any assistance going forward, Meg’s warm voice creates a loving, transformative space for you to go deep. She definitely caught me in the act of quickly deflecting from what I needed to feel into. www.soulworkforwomen.com

Nalini Macnab – seeer, writer for Source. Nalini helped me prepare for the December Solstice 2024. www.nalinimacnab.com

Leslie Temple-Thurston – in her book The Marriage of Spirit. Enlightened Living in Today’s World (2003), Leslie explains in clear terms how we can become aware of our unconscious patterns, so that they need no longer control our life. It is a great book to become aware of polarities and how our desires and fears shape(d) our experiences in life. www.corelight.org

Damien Wynne – is creating an amazing body of work about embodying the soul. His webinars are fields of deep transformation that you can return to again and again. You may want to check out one of his free webinars to find out his way of working. However, please realise that the webinars you pay for are more powerful and intense, because the participants are much more committed to working on themselves.
Among other topics, Damien explored in depth what the effects are of having a “vanishing twin”, i.e. a sibling that died in the womb while you survived and were born later on. www.damien-wynne.com

Clare Dubois – TreeSisters was founded by Clare Dubois, and started in 2011. She did not know how she would be able to achieve what she set out to do, but at some point she took the first step, and then the next, and the next. She committed to inviting women from all over the world to support each other and rediscover our power (letting go of our conditioning that one is better than the other, that women are inferior to men, that to experience emotions and cry is a sign of weakness), to rediscover our intimate relationship with nature & our planet and with our own nature, and to support Mother Earth in healing herself by planting a huge amount of trees to reforest the tropics.
I am moved by her speeches and the powerful work that unfolded since she took that first step.

• Click here for her first speech in 2011 at Women on Fire (at the time she was called Clare Dakin).
• Click here for an interview with Clare Dubois in February 2020.
• Click here for her explanation of “sistering”; unconditional acceptance of the other woman, as a practice to support eachother. How often do we experience being looked at with pure unconditional love?
  We are so strongly conditioned to judge, to think that one person is better than another. Do you ever look at another human being with unconditional love, without any judgement whatsoever? Are you willing to look at yourself that way?

To me, “being human” means “being embodied consciousness”. This implies:

• We live in a physical body, rather than being a physical body and nothing else.
• We can experience emotions and we have a mind that we can use to analyse things. In addition to the physical body we have an emotional body and a mental body (and several other bodies).
• We can experience our body as our own physical density AND we can become aware of more refined frequencies of consciousness while living life in a physical body.

• In essence, we are our own particular part of consciousness (which you might call your “Universal Self” or “soul”), which has created a physical body on planet Earth (and with planet Earth) and which is interconnected with all other parts of consciousness. We are “consciousness incarnated into a human body on planet Earth”.
• This means that all life forms around us – including other human beings, other animals, plants, the Earth, the other planets – all of these may seem to be separate from us, but they are not: this is just an illusion that we have been conditioned to believe in (see the note * below).
  Indigenous cultures from around the globe still reflect in their way of life that humans are not separate from the rest of nature and the Earth.
  Once you become aware of and acccustomed to more and more refined frequencies of consciousness, the illusion of separation falls away and you actually experience that everything comes from the same Source.
• This also implies that death is a transition. The Universal Self leaves the body – and it may or may not reincarnate into another body for another round of experiences later on.
  Once you understand this, grieving for loved ones who died may still be painful and you may miss them a lot in your day-to-day physical world, but at least you know their souls are still following their own path.

To live life is to create your life
