Julian Fryer
Julian (he/him) - 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.
Elisabeth Hunter
Elisabeth (she/her) - As a sex- and pleasure coach it is my mission to help you find your voice and reclaim your pleasure, so you can step out of the bedroom (or festival!), into the world fully connected to your inner divinity. My somatic, tantric integrated and trauma informed methodology centers the wisdom of the body. And most of all, I believe the secret to life is actually quite simple: know what it is you desire, ask for it, and say no to what you don’t want. Festivals offer an amazing opportunity to practice those skills, and I can’t wait to be of service to you while you do that!
Maria Aarts
Maria (she/her) - 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. Website: https://tanradenbosch.nl/
Sander Visser
Sander (he/his) - I am very much looking forward to contributing 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.
