Earth Ritual – 20 November, ’t Leesten, Veluwe
We gather at the restaurant at ’T Leesten. From there, we walk together to the fire circle. A small light will be lit. A story will be told, about ancient times, about our foremothers and forefathers. I will speak from the depth of memory, carrying the voices that came before. I will open the field with breath, rhythm, and word.
Then we walk through the land, Veluwe, ’T Leesten, towards the water. It is approximately a 30-minute walk.
Along the way, we collect what the land offers: stones, moss, branches.
At the pond, we hold a water ceremony. Water remembers. It carries stories, silence, and movement. As Dutch people, we live with water, shape it, protect it, and are shaped by it in return. Here, we listen to what the water holds. We offer what we carry. We enter into connection, through gesture, through breath, through the land beneath our feet.
Afterwards, we walk back, either to the car park or to the restaurant. There is space to speak, to share, to connect.
This is a day of remembering. Of connecting. Of inspiring what lives beneath and within.

Yes, it’s a Thursday. Many will be working.
But this is a call.
If you feel it, come. If you remember, walk.
If you’re meant to be there, you will be.
With love, Nadia
