I am very much looking forward to contributing again to the Tantric Joy festival as a member of the Emo team with an open heart and open arms. I am grateful for this wonderful challenge, and proud that I can be part of a very nice team. For questions, a good conversation, or a loving hug, I hope to be there for you if necessary. In recent years I have been able to delve into Trauma-oriented body work through the Gaia Method by Susanne Roursgaard. What a gentle and beautiful way to get closer to yourself and look at your own Trauma pieces. Furthermore, I wish everyone a magically beautiful Festival.

During the festival I will be there to lend a listening ear. It is important to be true to yourself and I will encourage that.

Also I have studied at the dance academy dance expression, (laban movement), yoga, theater, psychosynthesis and transpersonal psychotherapy,.

I love to be of support to others in their unique healing process, to create a safes space for those who wish to dive deeper and clear the pathways to live their full potential. I live a free life, spending much of my time in nature while exploring my passion for natural remedies, yoga, movement and self-development techniques. When de-armouring first appeared on my path, I felt instantly intrigued. This calling led me to discover the Gaia Method of Susanne Roursgaard where I am a part of the team assistants.

Maria Aarts

I am registered in the Netherlands as a recognized body-oriented therapist with RBCZ®. I first came into contact with tantra in 2000 and after many years of self-development I started providing body-oriented tantra sessions in 2014, in addition to my therapeutic sessions. Professionalism comes first and that is why I continue to invest in training and personal development... something that never stops. Maria’s website.
