Your Body Knows the Way Home — A three-day journey of embodiment

Part 1: Journey into Self — A day of coming home to your body

Journey into Self is an invitation to pause, to withdraw from the world for a day, and to sink into what is truly alive in you. It is the first day of Your Body Knows the Way Home, a three-day journey of embodiment held by Martine Nauta and Tessa Soellaart, exploring your relationship with yourself, your body, and your desires.

On this first day, we invite you to listen — really listen — to what your body has been telling you all along. Through somatic exercises, stillness, and conscious attention, you begin the journey of coming home to yourself: reconnecting with the desires that are truly yours, not the ones the world has handed you, but the ones that live quietly beneath the surface, waiting to be heard.

In this trilogy we would like to support you in getting more familiar with your body first of all, but also with the experience of a Temple space. A Temple space is a prepared sacred space in which we meet each other in our authenticity, sovereignty and desire. Temples are either just for women or for all sexes, but we will work towards a women's Temple. These three days will be completely guided and the third day we will finish with a first Temple at the end. We would love to introduce Temple spaces in Leiden.

This is an intimate gathering, held for a small circle of maximum 13 women, so there is space for each of you to truly be seen.

There is nothing to perform here, nothing to achieve. Only space to feel, to slow down, and to meet yourself again — one body, one breath, one truth at a time.

📍 Haagweg 4, Leiden (parking right next door, also easily reachable by public transport)

Your Facilitators

⚕︎ Martine ⚕︎

My name is Martine (53). Once, I lived life mostly from my head, figuring it all out from head. My head together with my intuition worked really well, but it left me with the feeling that I missed out on something... and it did. It left me out of feeling the full juice of what more being alive has to offer. In the last 10 years I have made the deep journey fully back into my body, and oh dear, I discovered so much more presence, aliveness, connection, support, love and truth coming from my body. Deepening my (love) relationship with my body is now one of my top priorities. It serves me in all that I wish to experience in life.
I have a background in Integrative Therapy, Constellation Work, Layla Martins Vita Coaching and Tantra.
I know it might feel edgy and vulnerable to go deeper into your body and you know what: we will be in that together.

Martine brings her generous heart into the space, coming from a place of softness, wisdom and life experience. Easily inviting you in with her motherly embodied presence.


⚕︎ Tessa ⚕︎

My name is Tessa (32), a curious being, dedicated to enjoy life fully. I have a background in physiotherapy, family constellation work, Tantra and guiding people individually and in groups to their deeper truth and aliveness through the body. I feel a deep calling to create spaces where we practice a new way of relating - finding that spot where we can meet in our own individual truths. Dropping into this sweetspot & let true intimacy unfold in its unique way, every time. The continuous practice of intimacy with myself and all that I meet, keeps me humble, radiant, and profoundly alive. I believe that by healing the way we relate to one another, we create a ripple effect that creates healing to all living beings and the Earth itself.

Tessa brings a sense of magic, a sense of warmth, a sense of joy to the space. She has a gift of making you feel deeply welcome & safe and a contagious energy of cutting through illusions with a sense of humour and not taking life too seriously.
