What is "De Belewitte"
 

 

The Belewitte was founded in 2018 by Mirjam van Donselaar at the time under the name: De Vrouwenrad (the women's wheel). In the past, the focus was on the Sacred Feminine, but in 2019, this shifted to general shamanic work with the aim of healing and reconnecting. The Belewitte is an old Dutch word found throughout Europe. It actually means "wise being, good being, righteous being/ spirit." Sometimes, Belewitte was used as a synonym for elf or another nature being. This spirit/spirits, a group of spirits even - have called and inspired Mirjam to establish a platform for education and, through holistic and shamanic methods, sustainable reconnection with ourselves, others, and nature. The spirits that she connects with are called "Land-Elders" and they are interwoven with especially the School of Dutch Shamanism.

 

Through the Belewitte platform, ancient knowledge is being revived in a modern and practical way. Combining Mirjam's background as a shamanka in the Spirit of Wolf shamanic tradition, a Holistic Therapist, and an Applied Psychologist, she is ideally placed to guide you on your path to meaningfulness, prevent health problems and other ailments, and teach you how to live a more animistic life.

 

At the Belewitte, you will find training courses, blogs, meetings and congresses focused on Mirjam's vision and mission. Shamanism is the common thread in Mirjam's life and is interwoven with all her activities. She has self-published a poetry collection called "Dagaz," which chronicles her spiritual journey, which is non-dualistic and also shamanic in nature. In October 2020, Mirjam's book "De Heilige Nachten" (The Holy Nights) was published by A3 Publishers; it explores the transition days between the years in the European tradition. Keep an eye on the website to stay tuned in for further developments.

 

Mirjam's current full-time work is as a Holistic Energetic Therapist and Applied Psychology in her own practice, where she coaches people in the form of spiritual guidance on their life path and works as a therapist with a holistic approach.
