Among other things, by soul retrieval, shamanistic counseling, trance journeys and ancestral family constellations. She is also co-supervising a drum circle once a month in Groningen. On request, she does ceremonies at important events in daily life. Her inspiration lies in working from her heart with visible and invisible forces from the universe and from her own ancestral history. In this way, she commits herself to the greater whole. She also tries to throw a bridge between the western psychology and old wisdom of native people. Inside herself, different lines and energies meet: “blood” of farmers from Drenthe, notables of the Achterhoek, Jewish and Gipsy families. Information: 0596-581158, email: ttcate@xs4all.nl

Margarita Blomski - birddog firechild (1959) is coordinator of the fourth year (the North). She found recognition of her shaman path at the Elfenbank in the nineties. The life forces of the dark, being brought into the light, opened the healed healer path. As an instrument tuned in to Great Mystery, she works as shamanistic counsellor and supervisor. She moves between the powers of the mystician and the magician. In this, becoming aware, authenticity and the self healing power are central. In her partnership Kokopellies with Marjon ‘Mariposa’ den Engelsman, she celebrates and honours life by means of several shamanistic workshops. She is also a Keeper of the Sacred Flame and an artist.
