Enter homecoming,
a sacred space to greet and grow -
place for applied philosophy.
The heart of this kindred is in the East,
its genius loci one of troubadours -
who speak in riddle and rhyme.
Here you heal and sublimate,
join in with our timeless ceremony -
making love with life.
Nature's rhythm is one of authenticity,
grounded in embodiment -
for you to realise
Inspiration.

Doorway into Wonder is the homebase of the Journey, of my love and I. A warm and welcoming nest where borders blur - between private, public, profession - in the vibrant East of Amsterdam. It is where we are. Eat, sleep, work, love, celebrate, share and deeply relax. It's a medicinal indoor garden, a herbal apothecary. My precious art studio and realm of unbound creativity. Esoteric library, secret place of ceremony. This is where we sing, swing, dance, draw and circle. Trade tribal treasures, objects of worship and other vintage curiosities. It is where we practice and guide yoga asana, the magic of breath, meditation and healing routines alike. In wonder you receive the seal of sacred ink, and gain insights. We help you gather knowledge - through lectures, workshops, film screenings. The doling out of keys. We would love to have you here...
Join one of our gatherings, collaborate or acquire? Simply say aloha.
We're also registered in the blue book of faces.

Call it kirtan, call it jamming or a singing circle: tonight we will make music, to raise vibrations as a collective and individually. We have a collection of quirky instruments ready to use, but feel free to bring your own. Anyone can join, no special skills required. OK, only the ability to raise your voice without judging her. But that's doable. Sing sing sing!

Let's celebrate our instinctual wildish nature, step through that doorway into wonder. When our moon is whole, illuminates our night sky ~ celebration, completion and commitment thrive. This night we will sit and share and meditate, enjoy the strength of May's flower phase. Alixe will reawaken your lunar alignment through a humble ceremony. Let's get those rhythms back in sync! I will serve you tea from the Goddess tree (all that vibrant energy will make you thirstyyy).
