Recognition of the own heart - in real life
Everything is movement.
In ta**ra, we call this Shakti — or Devi
the energy of life that is always changing, always transforming, shaping.
Nothing stays the same.
And lately, I’ve been feeling that very clearly in my own life and work.
A natural shift.
A movement from within.
I notice it in my body.
In my energy.
In the way I want to meet people.
Less through organizing and holding large spaces…
and more through direct, embodied connection.
Through touch.
Through presence.
Through real connection.
The Temple of Happiness — our own place in Amsterdam — is coming to a close.
But the essence of the work — is very much alive.
The work is becoming more direct
In the past months, this shift has already been happening.
Both Mark and I have been working as massage therapists at Sauna van Egmond in Haarlem —
and it has been beautiful to see how people arrive through the body.
What often starts as a relaxation or deep tissue massage…
naturally opens into something deeper.
Breath.
Energy.
Emotion.
Presence.
And for some, this becomes a doorway into ta***ic bodywork and ta***ic massage.
Ta**ra & bodywork:
Through Wilde Ziel, I offer sessions that combine:
– deep relaxation and body awareness
– energy work and breath
– and, when appropriate, ta***ic massage and conscious touch
Always grounded, attuned, and based on clear consent.
This is not about performance —
but about reconnecting to your body, your energy, and your natural flow.
Both Mark and I offer sessions individually,
and we also collaborate where it feels natural.
There is already a beautiful, organic movement of people who first meet us in the sauna,
and then choose to go deeper in a more private setting.
Working more deeply:
Alongside individual sessions, I’ve also started offering more personalized trajectories.
For example, working with couples who want to explore ta***ic massage together —
not just as a technique, but as a way to truly meet each other.
In these sessions, I guide you step by step, sharing everything I’ve learned —
from touch and attunement to breath, energy and presence.
Recently, I worked with a couple over four sessions,
and it was beautiful to witness how their connection deepened
and how they learned to really reach each other again.
This kind of work brings me a lot of joy.
Mentoring & transmission:
I’ve also been receiving more requests from people at the beginning of their path in ta**ra —
People who feel the call to start offering sessions or workshops themselves,
and are looking for guidance and experience.
For this, I offer one-on-one mentoring and coaching.
A space where I share my knowledge and way of working
in a grounded, embodied and personal way.
Where to find me:
At the moment, sessions are available:
– in my private practice in Amsterdam
– at Sauna van Egmond (Haarlem)
– and soon also at a second location (more about that after the summer)
Contact me with your request.
Upcoming gatherings:
Alongside this more intimate work, there are still a few beautiful gatherings coming up.
Two of them are deeper ta**ra experiences, see below
and there are also three conscious dance evenings — playful, expressive and connecting.
This is also where you can get a sense of how I approach ta**ra —
grounded, embodied and real.
I mention them below, but you can find the events on my Wilde Ziel page.
✨ Ta***ic Energy Transformation (9 May)
A grounded, experiential day where we explore how to stay present with life energy as it moves through you. Through breath, awareness and simple practices, you’ll learn to remain connected to yourself — even in moments of intensity. A deep yet practical introduction into ta***ic awareness.

✨ Temple of Love & Celebration (20 June)
A Temple day where we explore ta***ic energetic lo******ng as a living experience — something that begins to move when you allow it. Through a grounded workshop and a more open, playful evening space, you’re invited to feel, follow and trust the movement of life energy in your body. Raw, subtle, alive.

A note on what’s next
After the summer, I will feel into what wants to emerge next.
There will likely be new workshops and possibly retreats —
either in collaboration or in new locations.
But for now…
I’m allowing space.
To rest.
To listen.
To enjoy the summer.
Welcome
If you feel the call to go deeper —
either in your body, your relationship, or your own path —
you are very welcome.
With love,
Janine 🌿
