WHO WE ARE

Marijn De Wit

Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It has always been there, somehow guiding me, even before I understood where it would lead me. Looking back, it feels quite natural that, about ten years ago, I began working with sound as a way of bringing people closer to themselves.

For many years, I was searching. I explored different spiritual paths, read, studied and tried to understand the deeper mysteries of life. But something shifted when I met the French shaman Ema’a Drolma Mata. She initiated me into working with the plant spirits of the Amazon rainforest, and this encounter opened a door that has never really closed.

Since then, I return to the rainforest every year. Not because I feel I have something to achieve, but because there is always more to learn, more to listen to and more to understand. My relationship with the plant spirits and the Maestro curanderos continues to shape me, both as a person and in the way I work with others. Each time I return, I am reminded of how little we need to add to ourselves, and how much there is to discover when we learn to listen.

For a long time, I looked for answers in the worlds of esotericism and mysticism. Gradually, that searching became quieter. I began to understand that life isn't somewhere else, waiting for us to find it. It is right here, in the moment we are living, in the breath we take, in the people we meet and in the simple experience of being alive. Life doesn't have to be perfect for us to meet it with an open heart.

I don't know if there is one purpose to all of this. But if there is, I feel it has something to do with becoming more fully who we are, taking responsibility for the lives we create and learning to live with more love, honesty and respect for one another and for this beautiful Earth.

This is what I hope to share through my work.

I don't see myself as a teacher who has found the answers. I'm still learning, still discovering and still finding my way, just like everyone else. But along the way, I have gathered experiences that I feel grateful to share. Sometimes that happens through sound and music, sometimes through a personal session, and sometimes simply by creating a space where someone can pause, breathe and be exactly where they are.

When we meet, I bring all of myself into that moment: my experience, my sensitivity, my music and my love for this path. My intention isn't to tell you who you are or who you should become. It is to walk alongside you for a little while, to support you in listening to yourself and to help create the space in which something within you can begin to unfold.

Perhaps awakening isn't about becoming someone new, but about remembering something we have always carried within us. And perhaps freedom begins when we no longer need to look so far away to find it.

« Danseuse de vie »

My first steps in life were already dance steps. Movement and music have always lived within me, a natural force looking for a way to express itself. As I gradually learned to listen to this music within, I began exploring how to give it shape, allowing its energy to flow through my body, my voice and the way I meet life.

My inner journey unfolded through many forms of exploration and practice: massage and dance techniques, the wisdom of the five elements, natural and organic cooking, and the dedication to a daily practice. Step by step, I learned to listen more deeply to the body, to nature and to the subtle movements that connect us to life. My path also brought me into the ceremonial traditions of the Q’ero and into the world of shamanic singing.

A profound turning point came during my training with the shaman Ema’a Drolma Mata. This encounter touched something deep within me and changed the way I experienced myself and the world. It felt as though I was finding my way out of the darkness and into a deeper understanding of my own nature. I emerged from this journey as a shamanita, Danseuse de Vie — a woman dancing with life, allowing movement, intuition and the wisdom of the plants to guide her.

My own life journey, the people I have encountered along the way, and the three beautiful souls I have had the privilege of bringing into this world have all shaped the woman I am today. They have taught me, in their own ways, that life doesn't always ask us to search further or understand everything. Sometimes, the deepest simplicity is found in being fully present with what is here.

Nature is my heritage, my teacher and my ally. Through movement, breath, sound and the work I share, I invite you to reconnect with your own natural rhythm and gently open to the transformation that is ready to unfold. Not to become someone else, but to come home to yourself, with greater tenderness, freedom and self-love.

For me, this is where the connection between body, mind and soul begins: in the willingness to listen, to feel and to embrace the fullness of who we are.

Let the magic of life move through you, and allow it to touch you.
