Willemijn:
Mijn hele leven is gewijd aan het beweging brengen daar waar energie vastloopt. Dat doe ik al 25 jaar met veel plezier door het aanbieden van dans workshops. Sinds een paar jaar bied ik ook individuele sessie aan en dat werk wil ik graag hier wat meer aandacht geven. In 2019 ben ik afgestudeerd als SE practitoner, oftewel, lichaamsgericht trauma therapeut. Een wonderschone combinatie met dans.
Beide gaan over het hervinden van levensvreugde en vitaliteit. In de dansworkshops is het te merken aan de thema’s die ik in mijn lessen weef. In de individuele sessies van traumatherapie onderzoeken en luisteren we gerichter, afgestemd op jouw behoeften en verhaal. Als je nieuwsgierig bent en wilt dat ik een stukje mee ‘wandel’ op je pad, mail me. wdedreu@gmail.com.
Er zijn 2 plekken in Nederland waar ik dit aanbied, 1 in Bussum, prachtige heart to heart studio, de andere plek in Zutphen, loopafstand van het station.
"I love the dance of life.
Again and again, I am humbled by the cycles of birth and death. Health and illness. Expansions and contractions. Hello’s and goodbye’s.
I love movement, any movement.
The changing of the seasons, the come and go of day and night.
The grass in the wind, running horses, flying birds, fluttering butterflies, shooting stars,
human bodies. I am grateful that I can share that love by inviting movement on the dancefloor.
I love the elements earth, fire, water and wind. I love what they teach us about being here, how they speak about nourishment, connections, cleansing, and walking lightly and in beauty. How they whisper about breath and great spirit.
I am grateful for all that I receive in this life and it’s an honor to guide people in the dance and witness how they find their aliveness and wild beauty through dance and sweat.
When I’m not dancing, I love to spent time with my daughters, 25 and 22 and my biggest guru’s and teachers. I love my friends, sharing food and fire, long walks, being in nature, swim in the sea…oh well, I love being alive…"
