Testimonials

Mirjam is helpful and reliable. With all her skills and qualities, she will always seek the best match for your question. During the coaching sessions, I found her guidance both practical and supportive. She connects holistic thinking and spirituality with concrete and realistic applications in a beautiful and unique way. I would recommend her work to anyone who is ready to experience greater grounding and purpose in life and wants to be warmly supported by Mirjam's knowledge and expertise.

 

- Bernet Wilms

What I love about Mirjam is her beautiful, logical directness, alongside her profound embodied wisdom. She respects everyone's own experience and wisdom and leaves plenty of room for that. She follows her own tradition with confidence and a wealth of underlying knowledge that you can feel and hear when she speaks. Through her examples and sometimes humorous choice of words, she makes her presentation very accessible.

I met Mirjam through several courses and training sessions with her. She provides clear and concise explanations and includes many practical exercises that help you quickly connect with the subject. She has a down-to-earth approach and always has time for fun, the ideal combination for learning a lot in a relaxed atmosphere.

 

- Nathalie

 

Mirjam van Donselaar taught me to reconnect with my own soul and the spirit of everything around us. For me, that's the core of shamanism and incredibly valuable. Mirjam does this respectfully: she has a wealth of knowledge and experience but doesn't impose anything. She offers guidance and lets you make your own choices. That inspires self-confidence.

 

She also has a large and strong network, both in real life (therapists, shamans) and in "other worlds" (powers), which she tangibly utilizes when needed. I highly recommend Mirjam as a shamanic teacher and inspiring coach.

 

- Ingrid van Bekkum-Oosterling

 

Mirjam has helped me as a teacher and a psychologist-coach. She beautifully combines her practical approach with spirituality. As a result, she's helped me discover what's holding me back from making certain choices and provides targeted actions to address them. All of this is based on my own core, capabilities, and values! This has empowered me to grow my businesses even more through my own creative, innovative strength! It's truly wonderful. I highly recommend Mirjam if you're facing challenges in your business or personal life, if you want insight and tools to address them, or if you want to live a more free life.

Mirjam is a dedicated, sweet person who, through her education and experience, knows how to hit the right notes. Personally, I've benefited immensely from her training. I feel more comfortable in my own skin and can handle life's daily surprises much better.

If anyone can help you spiritually or psychologically, it's Mirjam!

I've now participated in several activities with De Belewitte. A connecting walk, a women's circle, and a workshop. I keep coming back. A safe space, a wonderful connection and nourishing wisdom. I find it wonderful to see that De Belewitte's activities are not only spiritually fulfilling but also based on scientific knowledge. When you want to connect with ancient traditions, thorough research is essential and enriching.

 

It's so impressive and special how this always comes together with Mirjam.

 

- Pascalle M

"Informative and well-organized. I enjoyed hearing the stories, especially because you can tell Mirjam has done 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 Countries, and the Matron Workshop in Hatten. 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 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."

"Based on pure intuition, I signed up for circles, workshops, and now the Matron Training with Mirjam van de Belewitte. I always say my intuition never lets me down, and it certainly didn't this time. I'm glad I met Mirjam. She's a confident woman who knows exactly where she stands spiritually. You notice her enthusiasm and knowledge when she talks about shamanism, various goddesses and spirituality in general. Her knowledge is vast and only continues to grow. The same applies, in my opinion, to her enthusiasm.

 

Because she's so confident, always has her knowledge at hand, and can do things with enthusiasm, her circles, workshops, and training sessions are wonderful to attend. You feel safe because she knows what she's doing. She knows how to help people who have never met communicate and connect with each other. In short: a wonderful woman with wonderful training sessions ;-) Definitely recommended, because you can learn a lot from her!"

 

- Ingrid van Paramica

I've already participated in a few women's circles and recently started the Matron Training.

 

Mirjam is a lovely woman who is incredibly knowledgeable about the material she offers. She can share a lot, but also offers beautiful meditations and trance journeys, accompanied by her drum. The circles and training sessions are carefully put together, and the decor offers peace and warmth! You really get away from it all and it gives me a wonderful sense of me-time!

 

There's plenty of room to share, but it's not mandatory! Even after the training or women's circle, she's available to offer support if needed, always without judgment, but with constructive tips!

 

What I love about Mirjam is that she always emphasizes that we are all equal and that she doesn't have a clear teacher/leader role! That gives me a sense of equality and openness!

 

I hope to enjoy your knowledge and circles/training sessions many more times!

I came to Mirjam for coaching and support on my life path. I had gone through a difficult divorce and an ex who wouldn't let me go and caused insecurity for me and my child. Mirjam protected me while simultaneously creating a safe environment through a ritual (kamlanie) and amulets. This worked beautifully and powerfully for me.

 

I also wanted to delve deeper into the basics of shamanism and give rituals a solid, daily foundation in my life. Beyond the books and back to learning from practice and her wisdom. Out of my head and into my body...the earth. Back to simplicity...to earthliness. This brought me so many beautiful new insights and strengthened what was already there. This has allowed me to experience a lot of growth and deepen my life in a short time. 

 

I literally feel that everything is flowing again and is increasingly flowing...a portal has opened...I was able to give my craft business a boost/a wonderful start and also created a beautiful ritual for this with Mirjam. I see and feel where my path is going, feel the support of my helpers and Trust. I'm incredibly grateful for Mirjam's support, sharing of wisdom, and guidance. She's a wonderful and special person and works with love, respect, and trust, creating a safe foundation. Thank you so much!

I met Izih in early 2021 when I took her basic shamanism course. In just a few months, we learned about animistic life, connecting with ancestors and elements. Mirjam teaches down-to-earth classes, with plenty of room for humor and practical application, so you immediately gain the tools you need to practice at home. For me, this is the perfect combination for learning, so after the basic course, I immediately moved on to a one-on-one in-depth course.

 

During this course, we also delved deeper into the Spirit of Wolf lessons, after which I joined this tradition and have since received my first initiation. Shamanism has brought me peace, allowing me to observe more instead of reacting. I feel more balance in my daily life, in my work, and in my interactions with others.

 

Working within a shamanic tradition has also taught me dedication, to make time for it every day, even if... Sometimes it's just a moment. As I said, I really appreciate Mirjam's teaching style. Her down-to-earth approach keeps things perfectly balanced. She listens carefully, without judgment, and encourages you to think for yourself about how to approach things.

 

Thanks to her training and extensive experience, she also gives good advice on how to handle certain situations. Thanks to her support, I've now received my initiation and am more confident in applying all the lessons.

Some time ago, I received a session from Mirjam. I already knew Mirjam from the women's circles I'd attended, but I'd never received a healing/session from her before. Mirjam has an accessible energy that quickly puts me at ease. Her practice space feels welcoming, warm, and homey.

 

She knew how to get to the core of the problem in a decisive and natural way. She didn't talk for hours, but went straight to the depths. This felt incredibly powerful, yet simultaneously gentle and understanding. I felt seen and heard, and this vulnerability is essential for me to open up.

 

After a short meditation, exploring and allowing my feelings, Mirjam gave me a treatment. During this treatment, I felt a lot happening in my energy field. Old, stagnant energy was released. The heaviness I'd felt during the meditation/visualization seemed to diminish. This gave me a sense of space and freedom of movement. The blessing I received from her afterward was distinctly different. It felt light, soft, and warm. It was remarkable to experience the contrast between these two elements.

 

After the session, Mirjam gave me tips on how to continue this at home, which I always find very important. I look back on a special experience that continued to resonate for several days.

Last weekend I visited the Temple of the Lady. A wonderful experience, where you could truly leave everyday life behind for a while. In a small group, we did various things to connect with our own energy, but also with that of our ancestors. By being creative, we were able to shape this ourselves. I was able to share all my experiences without fear of being judged; I was truly listened to. Furthermore, every effort was made to help with anything we encountered or questions we had.

 

All in all, a very educational, interesting, creative, and relaxing/calming afternoon. Wonderful!

 

I recommend it to anyone who would like to delve deeper into themselves and the centuries-old (women's) culture, and enjoys a good time, to experience the Belewitte.
