- Bernet Wilms
What I appreciate about Mirjam is her clear, grounded directness combined with a deep, embodied wisdom. She truly honors each person’s own experience and insight, creating space for it to be fully present. At the same time, she speaks from her own tradition with confidence and a strong foundation of knowledge that comes through naturally in the way she expresses herself. With relatable examples and a touch of humor, she makes her presentations engaging and easy to connect with.

Mirjam is open and welcoming. A woman with life experience, an inquisitive mind, and a love of nature. She combines her knowledge and wisdom with practical guidance, empowering you to move forward.
- Carin Wennink, de Schaapshoeve
Mirjam van Donselaar helped me reconnect with my own soul and with the spirit that lives in everything around us. To me, that is the essence of shamanism and something of great value. She approaches this work with deep respect: although she has extensive knowledge and experience, she never imposes anything. Instead, she offers guidance while leaving space for your own choices, which naturally builds self-confidence.
She also draws on a strong and diverse network—both in the physical world (such as therapists and fellow practitioners) and on a more spiritual level—which she engages in a grounded and tangible way when needed. I would highly recommend Mirjam as a shamanic teacher and an inspiring coach.

"I signed up for circles, workshops, and eventually the Matron Training with Mirjam from de Belewitte, purely based on intuition. I often say that my intuition never lets me down, and this time was no exception. I’m truly grateful to have gotten to know Mirjam.
She is a grounded and confident woman who knows exactly where she stands on a spiritual level. Her enthusiasm and deep knowledge are clear whenever she speaks about shamanism, different goddesses, and spirituality in general, and that passion continues to grow.
Because she is so centered and secure in herself, she creates a strong sense of trust. Her knowledge is always accessible, and her energy is both warm and motivating. This makes her circles, workshops, and trainings a joy to take part in. You feel safe and guided, knowing she truly understands what she is doing.
She also has a special ability to bring people together, helping individuals who have never met before to connect and communicate in a natural and meaningful way.
In short: a wonderful woman offering beautiful and valuable trainings. I highly recommend her, you can learn so much from her."

Mirjam has supported me both as a teacher and as a psychologist-coach. She combines a practical, down-to-earth approach with spirituality in a way that feels natural and effective. Through her guidance, I gained insight into what was holding me back from making certain choices, along with clear and targeted steps to move forward.
What stands out is that everything is rooted in my own core, strengths, and values. This has helped me grow my businesses from a place of creativity and innovation that truly feels like my own.
I would highly recommend Mirjam to anyone facing challenges in their business or personal life, who is looking for insight and practical tools, or who wants to live with more freedom and clarity.

Mirjam is a dedicated and kind person who, through her training and experience, knows exactly how to guide you in the right way. I’ve personally gained a great deal from her work—feeling more at ease in myself and better equipped to navigate life’s everyday challenges.

- Cheryl Pieneman
I’ve taken part in several activities with De Belewitte—a connecting walk, a women’s circle, and a workshop—and I keep coming back. Each time, it offers a safe and welcoming space, meaningful connection, and deeply nourishing wisdom.
What I especially appreciate is how the activities are not only spiritually enriching, but also grounded in scientific knowledge. When working with ancient traditions, that kind of thoughtful research adds real depth and value.
It’s truly impressive how Mirjam brings all of this together so naturally and seamlessly.
- Pascalle M
"Informative and well-organized. I enjoyed hearing the stories, especially because you can tell Mirjam has done serious research. It resonates with my own experience of pre-Christian European spirituality and offered an opportunity to connect with my ancestors.
I would definitely like to attend another workshop or lecture here!"
- Charlotte A
I've attended several of Mirjam's workshops, including weaving, the magic of the Low Lands, and the Matron Workshop in Hattem. I find her to be thorough, well-researched, and well-explained. I definitely recommend her for workshops and training sessions!
- Rinus de Ruiter
I’ve already joined several women’s circles and recently started the Matron Training.
Mirjam is a warm and kind person with deep knowledge of the work she offers. She shares her insights generously, while also guiding beautiful meditations and trance journeys, often accompanied by her drum. The circles and trainings are thoughtfully designed, and the setting itself brings a sense of calm and warmth. It really feels like stepping away from everyday life and giving yourself meaningful “me-time.”
There’s always space to share, but never any pressure to do so. Even after a session, Mirjam remains available for support if needed—always without judgment and with constructive, helpful guidance.
What I especially value is her emphasis on equality. She doesn’t position herself as a traditional teacher or authority figure, which creates a sense of openness and mutual respect.
I look forward to joining many more of her circles and trainings in the future.”

"I've already attended several lectures and courses. The last one was the Matrons. This opened a whole new door for me in a wonderful way. Thank you, Mirjam."

“Guided by pure intuition, I signed up for several of Mirjam van de Belewitte’s circles, workshops, and eventually the Matron Training. I often say my intuition never lets me down—and it certainly didn’t this time. I’m truly glad I crossed paths with Mirjam.
She is a confident woman who is deeply grounded in her spiritual path. Her enthusiasm and depth of knowledge are unmistakable when she speaks about shamanism, goddesses, and spirituality as a whole. Her knowledge is extensive and continues to grow, just like her passion.
That confidence, combined with her expertise and genuine enthusiasm, makes her circles, workshops, and trainings a joy to attend. She creates a safe environment where you can trust the process, and she has a natural ability to help people—often complete strangers—connect and communicate with ease.
In short: a wonderful woman offering truly meaningful experiences. Highly recommended—there is so much to learn from her!”
- Ingrid van Paramica
I came to Mirjam for coaching and support on my life path after a difficult divorce and a situation in which my ex-partner struggled to let go, creating insecurity for both me and my child. Mirjam supported me in a protective way and, through a ritual (kamlanie) and amulets, helped create a strong sense of safety and grounding. This proved to be powerful and meaningful for me.
At the same time, I wanted to deepen my understanding of shamanism and bring ritual practice more fully into my daily life. Moving beyond theory and books, I returned to learning through experience and her guidance—out of my head and into my body, into the earth, and back to simplicity and groundedness. This shift brought me valuable new insights and strengthened what was already present within me, allowing for significant growth and deepening in a relatively short time.
I now feel that things are flowing again, more and more naturally. It feels as if a door has opened. I was able to give my craft business a strong and meaningful start, supported by a ritual created together with Mirjam. I have a clearer sense of direction, feel supported in my path, and experience trust in what is unfolding.
I am very grateful for Mirjam’s support, wisdom, and guidance. She is a special person who works with love, respect, and care, creating a safe and grounded space.

I met Izih in early 2021 when I took her basic shamanism course. Over the course of a few months, we explored animistic ways of living, connecting with ancestors, and working with the elements. Mirjam teaches in a very grounded and practical way, with space for humor and real-life application, so you quickly gain tools you can use at home. For me, this combination is ideal for learning, which is why I continued with a one-on-one in-depth course after the basic training.
During this next stage, we also went deeper into the Spirit of Wolf teachings, after which I chose to join this tradition and have since received my first initiation. Shamanism has brought me a sense of calm, helping me observe situations more rather than react immediately. I notice more balance in my daily life, my work, and my interactions with others.
Working within a shamanic tradition has also taught me consistency and dedication—making space for it every day, even if only for a brief moment. What I value most in Mirjam’s teaching style is her down-to-earth approach, which keeps everything balanced. She listens attentively without judgment and encourages independent thinking in how to apply the teachings.
Thanks to her experience and guidance, she also offers valuable advice for navigating different situations. With her support, I have received my initiation and feel more confident in integrating and living the lessons in practice.
