Over het evenement
Do you often feel stuck in your mind and disconnected with your body?
Then join us during this workshop where we will explore our different senses. This workshop invites you to slow down, soften, and rediscover the full spectrum of your sensory experience.
Reconnect with the richness of your senses in this 4-hour immersive workshop. Throughout our lives we often unconsciously rely on just one sense - usually vision - while the subtler senses of touch, smell, taste, and deep listening fade into the background. This workshop invites you to slow down, soften, and rediscover the full spectrum of your sensory experience.
Through mindful breath, movement, sound, touch, and taste, you will cultivate deeper presence, embodiment, and sensitivity to the moment. Live sound exploration and guided sensory practices will support you in landing more fully in your body.

* A renewed ability to feel more and experience life with greater subtlety
Meet Your Facilitators:
Arek discovered his path the moment he first heard the handpan - its sound opened something profound within him. Later, the Alchemy Crystal Bowls deepened his passion for sound healing, inspiring him to train in various holistic practices.
He now offers grounded and heartfelt sound journeys in the Amsterdam area, creating spaces of deep relaxation and inner clarity. Blending different instruments and frequencies, Arek guides others back to presence, balance, and gentle connection
Joy was born in the Netherlands and, after moving to Tulum in 2021, experienced a profound journey of self-discovery. Her diverse background in psychology and luxury hospitality, coupled with integrative practices such as Tantra, breathwork, and kundalini bodywork, allows her to offer grounded and practical healing techniques. Joy believes self-acceptance is key to discovering one’s life mission and strives to empower others with joy and authenticity
This workshop is an invitation to rediscover your senses as gateways into presence. No experience is needed - just curiosity and an open heart.
Hope to see you!
With love,
Arek & Joy
