I am Floor and as long as I can remember I am interested in what makes our hearts tick, what is the motivation for our actions As a Young Child I grew up in isolation. This resulted in a grown up state of a strong and independent Woman who could handle life on her own not needing anybody.. As years passed by, my longing for connection, contact and being in a safe surrounding grew. More and more I started living my life by getting in touch with my feelings and intent. I started a Company 'Contactwork' where I worked for 20 years in a diversity of collaborations in bringing people together in circles. I found a love, had 3 beautiful children, left their father to be able to live the connection with myself. At this point I started the search for who I really and deeply am; connected to the earth, the heaven, the elements, a soul connected through spirit with a big beating heart, filled with life force and 2 feet on the ground. My intuition and my heart became my guides, I discovered that me too I am sensitive for tenuity and energy. At this moment my children are grownups and I am exploring the neverending path of Love and intimacy, evolving into a more and more relaxed and truthfull life. My deeprooted longing for being together with likeminded people resulted in organising circles over and over again. To sit together, to share truth, sing mantras, drum and share and connect our hearts. In such a circle I feel at home...

I am Julia. With a deep love for both music and bodywork, I look forward guiding you on this special journey of self-discovery and healing during the retreats of BeatingHearts. I grew up in Vienna, Austria and for my studies Social- and Health psychologie I moved to Utrecht, Holland in 2012. For as long as I can remember I am driven to understand people, how they act, why and what they think and how they behave in groups. During my studies and my work as a psychological researcher I worked low profile and tried to understand things rationally from a distance and analyse people. However my own healingproces started when I came more in contact with myself. Feeling my emotions and letting go of trauma ánd developing emotional- and communicational skills with Non-Violent-Communication have been real gamechangers for me. In 2021 I met Floor and joined BeatingHearts (then Contactwerk) as a musician. A whole new world opened for me. I discovered the power of bodywork. At this moment I am following an education in Body-oriented psychotherapy to get more knowledge of this. Making music has always been a part of my life too. For me it is a way to connect and tune in with each other and create Magic together. Therefore I fulfill my role as a musician and assistant at Beatinghearts with enormous joy.

I am Paul and was born in Arnhem as the youngest in a family with 3 children. In my teens I had two visible talents and therefor passions: playing soccer and drumming. From 11 on I was the drummer of multiple (semi-) professional bands and the teenage Goalkeeper in the local club Vitesse and in the National youthteam. For me it was very clear what I most wanted to do 'later when I am all grown up': play soccer for money and have a breakthrough in music. Unfortunately live decided otherwise: my mother died when I was 13 and my father 5 years later of a broken heart(attack) as a consequence.. I was full of sorrow, lonely, lost and searching for something that I didn't really know what it was. I threw myself full on in music and sports. While playing soccer I broke my arm at several places, so I couldn't follow my career as a drummer anymore. When both my knees gave up functioning I was forced to give up that dream as well. To give new meaning to my life I needed a new sense of direction and that is how I came in contact with coaching, training, development and meaning. From here I entered quite easy into the world of training and coaching. Even though I didn't become a payed soccer player or world famous musician, I still play the drums with a lot of passion and enjoy playing with a ball from time to time. The function of the drummer (determine the rhytm) and of keeper (containing the danger, creating safety) remain a common thread in my life. I contribute with these qualities as a musician in the circles of Beatinghearts.

I am Francesca and I spend my days looking at the world, my own world and the movements in and around me. Wheather I am taking pictures, am in front of a class, behind a bar or in a kitchen I am constantly looking for connection and authenticity. Therefore I feel really at home at BeatingHearts. I enjoy to contribute at different places and ways to create beauty and a peaceful atmosphere. I take pictures, light candles, make tea, support, offer a listening ear and a warm shoulder or heart. And I assist in the team with my intuition and observation skills. I support where is needed. This role fits me and provides me with presence, I can use my talents and I can flow with everybody's energy and connect with the beating hearts that are present in the moment.

I am Daniela, a big sister and the daughter of a Dutch father and a Mexican mother. In 2022 I decided to live a life that corresponds with my feelings. Before that time I felt a bit divided in two: I was very rational and very sensitive. Something inside told me to go for it and follow the path of the more sensitive me. I followed an education to coach Breathing-sessions and I quit my job in 2023. Today I give sessions and am learning about social entrepreneurship and all sorts of activities that help people to get more in contact with their feelings. I really like focusing and get more and more interested in intuitive singing and birth-work. Nice fact about me: my first youthweekend was at Beatinghearts (then still Contactwerk). This weekend is still very strong in my heart. I learned sooo much, only by being in the presence of people who 'just' ARE. These weekends have been a place for me to learn to drop my masks even more and to discover who I really am, aside of all the expectations of the world. I am delighted to welcome and meet you!

I am Dani. Ever since I was pregnant with my son Flits I am occupied with the inner human. Eating proper, healthy and tasty food is a good base to get a lot of work done, to feel good and get excited! I am not a rule-person nor do I like steady norms. I like round and always look for opportunities. Combining new flavours with old good working combinations. This is exactly the reason that I am the chef at Floor's groups and now for the circles of BeatingHearts.
