About Kasia
“When will you begin
that long journey into yourself?”
Rumi
My journey
For the past twenty years I have travelled the world seeking what it truly means to be human.
I have lived in five different countries, and the journey has taken me from counselling studies at university and meditation in monasteries, to sitting with shamans in the jungles of Peru, exploring somatic trauma and breathwork, and facilitating HeartIQ circles.
Throughout it all, I came to realise that our approach to healing has been fragmented, and is fundamentally flawed.
Most of our work is based on fixing a broken self, rather than understanding the process of maturing the ego and initiating ourselves into soul.
“I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my soul.”
Rumi
A little more about me
I'm Kasia, a Polish-born, Netherlands-based human who loves slow mornings, good matcha, and wandering through nature with no destination.
I live with my husband Maurice and our cat, Miss Smokey, who is basically our furry daughter. When I'm not working, you'll probably find me painting, reading mystical texts, or growing vegetables.
I love quiet evenings, deep conversations about life and spirituality, and the company of good friends who know how not to take life too seriously. I speak five languages, love to travel, and am always reading new books.
Movement is my biggest medicine.
Dance and whirling have shaped my inner life as much as any book or teaching. They are how I return to my centre. Painting, for me, is less about creating something beautiful and more a way back to innocence, a deep meditation. Creative expression is how I digest and integrate the sometimes overwhelming stimulation and demands of modern life.
I have lived in many places and reinvented myself many times, but the red thread through everything has always been curiosity, healing, and coming home to myself.
I believe in the intelligence of the body, the wisdom of nature, and the quiet magic of life. For me, spiritual practice is about becoming as honest within ourselves as we possibly can.
Finding the courage to be authentic in a world that prefers the opposite is, I believe, what life is calling forth in all of us.
