Marijntje Tierolff — Assistant

Marijntje first met Mirjam while working at one of the venues where some House of Being programmes take place. She was curious about tantra, yet at the same time carried quite a few judgments about it. Still, tantra had been recommended to her as a way to become more free. As a mother of two daughters, this felt like an important intention for her. She decided that House of Being would be the place where she would take her first steps into tantra.

Since then, Marijntje has participated in several House of Being programmes. Each training or seminar brings her a little closer to herself. The work has taught her to stand for herself and to honour her needs and desires by giving them voice and movement. She experiences a deeper connection between her feelings and her mind, and now notices when she acts from conditioned behaviour and when she moves from truth.

When Marijntje followed the Level 1 programme for the first time, she felt deep gratitude - for the work, Mirjam and the assistants who were present at the time. The thought crossed her mind how meaningful and enriching it would be to one day assist herself. She feels deeply honoured that this has now become a reality. By being a facilitator herself, she understands the importance of simply being present and holding space. Each time again, it is incredibly beautiful and powerful to experience.
