Circle of Stones, Judith Duerk
To discover who she is, a woman must trust the places of darkness where she can meet her own deepest nature and give it voice…
Weaving the threads of her life into a fabric to be named and given…
Sharing it with the women around her as she comes to a true and certain sense of herself.
As a child, I was fascinated by the tall trees in the forest… finding hidden little paths to adventure. I was often daydreaming and exploring creativity with a colourful imagination.
I am naturally a very joyful being and I love sharing this excitement for life’s wonders through my heartfelt smile.
Growing up, I was curious to learn more about science, health and how I could be of service to help people.
I graduated as a pharmacist in Belgium and started a 7 year career journey in the pharmaceutical industry.
As much as I enjoyed my role as a team coach, I found myself conflicted in values and vision.
My body gradually started expressing various forms of stress such as IBS, stomach ulcers, food intolerances, anxiety, depression, insomnia…
I experienced what is known in current society as burn-out, and all that before the age of 30.
My romantic relationship and friendships crumbled, my grandfather passed, my job left me feeling hollow... I felt so disconnected from myself and life, something had to change to find that joyous sparkle again.
I started a holistic nutrition course and from then it was one synchronicity after another…various new people, workshops, teachers, travels… crossed my path.
Along the way, I integrated new tools to support and nourish myself in a natural way with respect for our body and for our planet.
This search to find myself (again), shaped the heart offerings I share with you today.
Merging a bridge between science and the spiritual.
Finding joy and inspiration in what is considered ‘work’ is the greatest pleasure, humble honour and it gives me so much fulfilment.

I share with you the soft compassion and warm safety I’ve created and cultivated over years of practice, through my own harsh narrative soaked in self judgement.
And I continue to tend to this practice every day.
Softness is the layer of honey I’d like to pour over everything.
My meditation experience enables me to share a deep sense of calming peace, heart presence and serenity with you.
The diversity of knowledge and wisdom I hold, sprout from a natural curiosity to keep learning about all things in this life; both intellectual as more embodied rituals - initiations.

I’m truthfully devoted to guide you closer to your heart and essence, to find a compassionate peaceful home within yourself again.
What lights me up…
I am also very passionate about…making sweet treats, colourful fresh farmed food, sunrise ocean swims, my nan’s red roses, belly to belly HUGS, spontaneous singing in nature, caring for animals, natural plant remedies, tribal music, dancing my heart out, mountain hikes, fairy waterfalls, greek chamomile tea, dreamy nostalgic poetry, ancient witchy rituals, silly spontaneous laughter…

I believe in a world where love is the guiding current.
Where we live in close community and communication with each other and the land.
Where we sing our wisdom in circle and inspire our unique gifts within one another.
A world where we choose kindness
