Maartje Winkelmolen

I am Maartje Winkelmolen. After losing the connection with myself and others for years, I have rediscovered myself through my journey over the past few years. I started with Reiki 1 in 2021, and that made me want more! In the meantime, I am a Reiki Master, holistic Reiki therapist, and I provide Thai Yoga Massages and Access Bars treatments. I am also a BRTT® (Body Remembers Trauma Therapy®) and TRB® (Trauma Release Breathwork®) therapist. It is magical to see what energetic work can do. The holistic perspective was an eye-opener! Without all of that, I wouldn't be where I am now. By turning inward, taking a moment, feeling, and addressing the issues at the source, I have experienced tremendous inner growth. In 2022, I started my own business to help you with your inner growth process, whatever that may require. Everyone is different and grows in their own way and at their own pace. I support you and help you activate your self-healing ability, to heal and feel so that you will feel better. Whatever area that may be! I guide you through and in breath journeys, your inner world, and in body work. I ensure a safe healing space for you where there is room for everything that is presented at that moment and deserves attention. Everything is allowed to be, all emotions are allowed to be, to be seen, and are important. I guide you to be more in touch with your feelings and your inner world and to (re)discover your true essence - Your being. So whether you are looking for a deeper connection with yourself, want to relax, want to release stress, tensions, traumas, and emotions, or want to come more into your body. Feel welcome! You have to do it yourself, but you don't have to do it alone.

Walk with Alpaca

This event in brief

Imagine: a vast alpaca reserve somewhere deep in the polders, where the sun sets while sweet bleating and cheerful shouts of "wakka!" echo through the evening air.

What is Wakka with Alpaca?

It is the (completely fictional) party where you come into contact with your inner alpaca through a mix of conviviality, music and – yes – real alpacas. Expect a colorful collection of workshops ‘alpaca-whispering’, live bands playing specially composed “alpacafolk”, and a crackling campfire where you can roast marshmallows yourself under the watchful eye of our woolly friends.

What can you expect?

• Fluffy Meet & Greet: For anyone who has always wanted to give an alpaca a high-five (yes, they also have hilarious bumps on their back when they shake their heads – cuteness guaranteed!).

• Alpaca Disco: Show off your best moves with DJ Alpakoes, who flawlessly mixes the latest hits with cheerful humming from the alpacas.

• Wakka Workshops: Learn to shout like an alpaca (you didn't know you wanted to, but now you do) and find out how you can rhythmically incorporate ‘wakka’ into your daily vocabulary.

• Tasting ‘Woolly Snacks’: From cotton candy (of course!) to specially invented alpacaccino – a cappuccino in a ball of wool. Of course not really made of alpaca wool, but with a cloud of milk.

When and where?

• Date: The last Saturday of Neveruary (our own, fictional month)

• Location: De Groten-vande-Gekste-Weide, a hitherto unknown and extremely secret field in the middle of nowhere (be sure to keep an eye on your GPS).

Dress code

Come in your softest sweater and comfortable llama socks (yes, llama socks can also be used for alpacas, because they don't pay attention to that anyway). The woollier you look, the more popular you will be with our wildly enthusiastic alpacas!

Pay attention

This event is not real—but if it was, it would be the day of your life! So don't worry about tickets or corona measures, you can now sit back and fantasize about an evening full of alpaca fun, woolly cuddles, and of course a rock-hard “wakka” when you meet your new fluffy friends for the first time.

Come and see it (or not, because we made it up)!

Wakka with Alpaca: woolliness, weirdness and worldly conviviality in one sensational fake party!
