Shifting realities

The Power of Sisterhood

Do you know that feeling of having been in such a different reality that the world you are spending much of your time in kind of faded away? It occasionally happens to me for a few hours, and it happened to me these past few weeks.

Months ago, out of the blue, friends from different corners of my life started talking about Lorelei, a festival for women in The Netherlands. They felt that I needed to be there to offer energy healing sessions. When the first one mentioned it, it didn’t really land. When the second mentioned it, I realized it was brought to my attention again. Shortly after a third one shared about Lorelei. The Universe wasn’t gently knocking on my door, they were banging on it. I had my reservations about a women-only festival, but decided to visit the festival’s website nonetheless. Sure enough, it resonated and it propelled me forward.

To apply for a spot in the healing section, I needed to be visible. It was a step I had been avoiding. Yes, I was doing sessions, but I wasn’t spreading the word.
Truly accepting that energy healing is part of what I came to do in this lifetime was quite a journey. Emotional scars from past lives presented themselves. My guides assisted me in the healing and releasing of those soul level wounds.
“This lifetime it is different. This time around you can safely be all of you”, they whispered in my ear.

Finally, I added the healing page to my website. My application for Lorelei was accepted.
I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to be surrounded by only women for ten days and arrived at De Banken without any expectations. From the very first moment I felt at ease, even at home. The beautiful tree-lined festival site radiated a soft energy, offering a warm embrace.
The healing and wellness field soon turned into a bubble within the festival bubble. A place held by all of us. Each of us contributing our energy. Together we created a safe setting. For ourselves and for the many hundreds of women attending the festival. Our field was a place to be, to receive a wellness treatment or healing session and to embrace the Divine feminine.

For ten days the outside world felt almost non-existent; a parallel reality, where I had temporarily stepped out of. I resided in a world of sisterhood. In a reality where women carry and recognize soul sisters. In an atmosphere where it is safe and even logical to heal, and where it is natural to express and live your Divine feminine side.
I feel grateful for the amazing team of women organizing the Lorelei festival, for the many volunteers who made everything flow, for the women, who contributed their skills, gifts and products, and for the participants. To the women, who felt the call to come to me for healing sessions, I honor you for your courage to break a cycle, and for your willingness to step forward on your path.
Something has shifted within me as well. It is a shift that cannot be reversed. More of my Divine feminine part has awakened, and it is stepping out into the world.

Let me finish with a few words for the men reading this. It is my sincere wish for you to experience brotherhood, to heal your inner wounds and to embrace your Divine masculine.

We need you.
To stand with us.
In harmony.
In unity.

Together we are the change.
