Your Tribe

Ariane Noël

A yoga teacher, sacred space facilitator and creator at heart, Ariane evolves at the crossroads of movement and inner listening. With over 1,200 hours of training in yoga, meditation and energy approaches, she nourishes her teaching with great depth and a gentleness all her own, exploring a return to the essential: presence, breath and awareness.

Trained in various approaches, she is interested in the complexity of body and mind as spaces of wisdom, regulation and intuition. Through her classes and community events, she guides people towards an embodied, sensitive and deeply regenerative practice, with each transmission space a place to anchor oneself, a safe space to return to oneself, where the pace slows down and where being can finally be heard.

His approach invites us to feel rather than accomplish, to fully inhabit ourselves rather than perform.

Charlotte Nieuwenhuis

Charlotte is dedicated to healing and regeneration, whether for individuals, communities or the Earth itself through her organization Heart to Earth. After years of traveling across four continents, she has immersed herself in the ancestral traditions of the peoples she has met. Her experiences have helped her understand just how essential our connection to nature is, and how disconnection from our ancestral roots has led to numerous ecological and human tragedies. Her “why” is to restore this sacred connection between humans and nature, as she deeply believes that regeneration can only be achieved through reconciliation with our spiritual and natural heritage.

By combining ancestral knowledge with modern practices, she builds bridges between tradition and contemporary science. Through her collaborations with indigenous communities, her commitment to soil and forest regeneration, and the workshops she runs, she not only passes on her knowledge, but also creates experiences that touch the heart and transform consciousness. Her approach is both intimate and global, rooted in ancient wisdom and geared towards a more harmonious future that respects nature.

In this workshop, she invites you to reconnect with your heart through cocoa medicine, supporting your inner journey and connection to your true self.

Testimonials for Breathwork

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had my 2nd Breathwork experience with Francis this weekend. It was once again magical and unique! My whole body was vibrating with energy. A unique sensation that only Francis allows me to experience. He’s in total control of the space and knows how to put us at ease. I’m very grateful to this man, who is highly professional, experienced, sincere and very human!
