Intimate Gathering
Planning a meaningful celebration can be a lot. You want something personal and heartfelt, but you’re not sure what to do, you don’t have time to organize everything, and the usual dinner/drinks don’t always quite fit the moment. You want real connection, not small talk, and a way for everyone to slow down and actually feel what you’re marking.
An Intimate Gathering is a private, small-group ceremony designed around your moment and your people.
We keep it simple and guided : arrive, settle, set an intention, and move into the activities that you chose. I hold the structure, from opening to closing, so you don’t have to plan, host, or manage the energy. Your only job is to show up, and receive.
Perfect for : birthdays, baby showers, bachelorettes, anniversaries, new chapters, closures, or “just because we need a night that matters.”
What this gives you :
-
A clear, held flow (no guesswork, no pressure to perform)
-
A way for everyone to connect beyond small talk
-
Space for release, reflection, laughter, and real warmth
-
A memorable shared experience that actually fits the moment
How it works (at a glance) :
-
Choose the format : pick between the different options we offer
-
Length & size : ~2–3 hours, usually 2–12 people (ask if outside this range)
-
Where : in person, at your place for small gatherings if the space allows it, or around Rotterdam/Den Haag/Leiden area
-
I handle : guidance, music, pacing, consent/safety, grounding, and simple aftercare tips, as well as renting a suitable space if needed.
If you tell me the occasion and who’s coming, I’ll suggest the best flow and timing, so you can relax and actually enjoy your celebration.

Cacao Ceremony
A guided way to slow down together, drink high-quality cacao intentionally, and set the tone for the rest of the gathering.
After explaining what cacao is, and its properties, we will drink cacao mindfully, while practicing a tailored meditation to set an intention for your special occasion, or the rest of the gathering.
Best for : warming the groups gratitudes openingss milestones, settle and connect before deeper work
Good to know : cacao is not psychoactive. The dosage can be adapted depending on sensitivity.
Breathwork
A coached breathing practice that helps the body release tension and process emotion safely, at a pace that fits the group.
We will start with a lear briefing on how to breathe, what you might feel, and how to adjust intensity, before diving into the guided breath session with real-time support (verbal cues; self-regulation tools), and end with some grounding and short integration.
Best for : shared depth, emotional release, clarity, life transitions
Good to know : Transformative Breathwork is not suitable for pregnancy and other health conditions (see FAQs below). However, in case you, or one member of your group can't practice, we can instead practice more gentle breathing exercises, suitable for everyone.
Yoga
Accessible movement and stretching to help everyone arrive in their body and shake off stress. No experience required.
Here, you can chose between different yoga styles, from Vinyasa, Gentle Flow, or Yin yoga, depending on the energy that you are looking for, and the level of your group. All practices can be made beginner-friendly.
Best for : arriving, daytime groups, mixed experience levels.
Good to know : mats/props available on request.
Deep relaxation
A guided rest practice done lying down, designed to quiet the mind and settle the nervous system.
Here, you don't have to do anything, besides listening to the guidance. I'll guide you through different breath and body awareness techniques, and simple imagery, to release all tensions from your body and mind.
Best for : closing a ceremony, evening groups, integration after breathwork
Good to know : suitable for most bodies; we can adapt for pregnancy or injuries (side-lying, extra bolsters).
