Dear Kindred Spirit,
- Do you yearn for more intimacy, connection, mystery, and awe in your life?
- Are you intrigued by the idea of using writing as a tool for self-examination and authentic communication?
- Would you like to be encouraged and supported in developing a sustainable awareness and self-inquiry practice?
Over the last twenty-five years these were the questions that drove me to become a seeker and awareness practitioner, to meditate daily, to remember the special magic of playfulness, to use writing to heal, and to dive headlong into my messy life.
Learning how to find my own answers to these questions are what propel me to want to share with you my journey of discovery, so that you can embark on your own.
Come join me as we develop an awareness practice that encourages more intimacy with Life, a practice that helps us embrace both the mundane and the mystical, a practice that orients us to an attitude of playfulness.
With love,
Marijke (aka Prema…but that’s another story)
