Manouk de Bijl

An amazing experience! Manouk is a wonderful teacher, guide, and human being. 🤎

I participated in her 5-day Online Spring Cleanse and Yoga Retreat and learned so much about fasting, and the relationship between food, body, and mind. I opted for a water fast instead of juice, and she created a personalized schedule for me, which was excellent!

Being part of a group with like-minded people added a whole new dimension to the experience. Everyone was very loving, caring, and attentive. Everyone felt safe enough to be open and share.

I am deeply grateful that you taught me the proper way of cleansing and want to thank you again!

We went two friends together which was lovely, but also it felt like a very safe and comforting environment to attend alone. We both felt we could have been braver to share more but we enjoyed to hear those strong stories of fellow women which gave us a lot of reflections about our own lives, and it felt fine to just be there as well as to share a lot. For some feedback, it would have been nice to receive a bit clearer explanation on the agenda and also about the exact meaning and effect of the cacao, and the purpose to use it and why it is used in ceremonies. Though it felt very powerful to have a Mexican woman talking about the cacao and where it was from. Also it would have been nice to provide consent to taking photos beforehand as photos were already taken before Manouk mentioned it. Thank you so much for a beautiful day! Cathrine & Judith

Manouk is such a good space holder, for big or small groups. She makes sure everyone feels seen and safe which is beautiful. Integrating astrology, the moon and combining it with women’s circle was such a powerful combination. Thank you for the session, also to all the beautiful women who joined

Dear Manouk has a beautiful energy. Mmm she shares, spaceholds and facilitates with so much love, passion and knowledge. This Online retreat in which you experience a juice cleanse and various yoga, meditation and breathing sessions with sharing circles was so amazing. After just one day it felt like we had known each other for a while, you quickly become close, get to know each other, share openly and heal together. Starting and ending the day together was a great gift to myself and each other. The group felt so right, it was loving and educational. Thanks to Manouk we can be ourselves with all our emotions we are welcome in the online realm. Also you get nice reflection and real space for your process. It felt so involved and that it is online is like extra interesting because it feels like we are all really together in a space. I am grateful that I participated and learned so much about myself in this process with this group. I had the opportunity to meet many beautiful souls and I will definitely participate again. Manouk does this so well, this is highly valuable and I can really recommend this to anyone who feels the call. This was a gift to myself from a space of self love and these weeks were filled with that love, transformation and joy. Gratitude for this beautiful human being that created this space, thank you dear Manouk, love you dear! Lots of love from me

Such a heart warming and opening experience, if you feel like it definitely go for it, it will change something within you 🧡🌻🌞

The 5 days online retraite and cleanse.

This journey gave me so much insight in my body, but even more so in my mind.

It was practiced in a safe environment with a group of beautiful, warm and open people, guided by an inspiring open minded, giving and loving woman Manouk. It brought so much peaceful power and acceptance.

I felt a new form of balance. A healthy mind in a healthy body. It gave me clarity of thoughts and the strength to believe that everything is possible. I changed my daily habits for the better and feel more energized.

I would really wish for every person in it’s own path to experience a kind of practice like this and feel the amount of growth.

I feel gratitude and want to thank everybody in the group and specially Manouk 💜

During my first ceremony about a year ago that was facilitated by Manouk, I had never thought that something could change my life in the best possible way this much. It was an absolute mind expending and heart opening expierence that made me fall in love with self healing through connection with other women, nature and myself. I have Manouk to thank for that. She is one of the kindest, purest, warmest people I know and she will make you feel so seen and valuable. I will 10/10 recommend women to join a ceremony of this beautiful soul. Forever grateful. Love - Fem

De Aries New Moon Cacao Women’s Circle was een prachtige, veilige, en warme beleving. De stem en begeleiding van Manouk helpen bij het ontladen van mentale en fysieke blokkades. Het is een verbindende avond die er voor zorgt dat je toegang krijgt tot de harten van vele vrouwen.

Together with my sister we participated in this Women's Circle, hosted by our eldest sister Manouk. To say we were in awe, is probably an understatement. Of course, we probably are a bit biased ;) but to see our sister in this setting, guiding a group of women for a wonderful evening full of togetherness, warmth and discovery was very impressive and wonderful.
Most important the safe feeling she gave me, my sister and some other women who were visiting a women's circle for the first time. <3

Mijn eerste vrouwencirkel en gelijk een hele liefdevolle en warme ervaring. Ik vond het van te voren echt mega spannend, maar ik ben zo blij dat ik ben gegaan! Het was een prachtige avond die met veel zorg en liefde werd begeleid door Manouk. Ik denk nog steeds dagelijks aan deze ervaring. Ontzettend mooi om op deze manier met vrouwen te verbinden en sisterhood te ontdekken 💚

Thank you thank you thank you 😊💫

Thank you so much Nouk for the soft and warm evening surrounded by blue lotus & beautiful women! I love the work that you do, my heart is full <3

Love,
Veer

Lieve manouk,

Bedankt voor dit prachtige samenzijn. Ik heb het ervaren als hart openend, het delen met mooie vrouwen, de liefdevolle sisterhood, veiligheid in het zijn in zachtheid. Bedankt voor de save en mooie space die je hebt gecreëerd.

Tot de volgende! 💜

This woman’s ceremony felt like coming home. Such a lovely space in nature, the warm hosts Manouk and Eefje made us feel welcome from the start. Slowing down and taking time to breath, relax and listen to fellow sisters. I will be back !

Wauw! De nature women’s ceremony was zo bijzonder. Op een prachtig plekje in Amsterdam, met een groep super fijne vrouwen, inspirerende practices en heeeel veel bloemen om aqua de Florida te maken. Manouk & Eefje doen alles zo natuurlijk en creëren een safe space waar alles er mag zijn en gedeeld mag worden. Ik voelde me na afloop super grounded en energized 🧚🏼 Kan het zeker aanraden als je met likeminded vrouwen wil zijn, of je net komt kijken of al vaker naar een cirkel gaat: dit is mijn favoriet 🦋!! Tot een volgend keertje lieverds, with love, Marije

This for me first ceremony that was hosted by the amazing Manouk and Eefje, opened my heart and filled my soul with love. I can genuinely say I have never felt this calm, vulnerable, strong, serene and open as I did during and after the ceremony. It truly was an amazing first experience with Manouk, Eefje and the other beautiful women who all made it so possible to open up and connect. 🧡
For me personally, it changed a lot about my perspective on my own health. After being sick for 8+ years, experiencing this, made me realize that there is a way to heal through connection, nature and to live according our beautiful second 28 days clock, following the endocrine system. 🌹🌱
I would 100% recommend this to every woman out there, even if, or maybe even especially if she thinks it is all “this will never work or have any effect on me” hokuspokus. ✨ To feel this love and connection with yourself, nature and other women is magical and absolutely worth experiencing. 🙏🏼

mmm wauw, thank you so much Eefje & Manouk for this beautiful workshop ceremony filled with so much love and care. it was so wholesome and nourishing to be a part of this day with so many beautiful women in nature. it was beyond beautiful. my heart is so full 🧡 thank you, thank you, thank you.

Het was helend, gezellig en magisch. Zo veel liefde en eenheid heb ik nog nooit gevoeld🧡ik ben nog steeds helemaal warm van deze mooie aqua de florida workshop🍃🌺

Ohhhh where to begin! This was circle was an absolute dream. My heart is so so full for these beautiful women Manouk & Eefje. The moment I arrived, I felt immediately so safe and loved. They made you feel seen & heard. The energy from Manouk & Eefje felt so authentic, pure and almost angelic that everything just fell so beautifully into place just the way it had to be.

Thank you beautiful sisters for hosting this and giving this to the world. I would highly recommend this for those who wants to experience some deep pure love and be more connected within herself and share this with other sisters.

I truely believe in Manouk & Eefje 🤍
A big smile of gratitude and love for all those sisters who participate when I think back on this day.

💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

Magisch was het! ✨🌸
Met de effecten nog lang navoelend vol liefde, warmte en licht. Enorm dankbaar voor Eefje en Manouk die dit samen hebben georganiseerd ❤️

In 3 words: connection, relaxation and empowerment, that is what you can expect.
Manouk and Eefje were the best hosts I could have hoped for for my first women's circle. I recommend it to every woman, especially those who find it a bit out of their comfort zone and are open to new and enriching experiences.

Thank you Manouk & Eefje for organising this lovely cacao ceremony with a new Moon in taurus! It was so special to meet all the women in a very authentic and vulnerable way. I was fucking nervous to share all my thoughts and feelings, but I’m glad I did it anyway! Connecting with other sensitive and creative women is so powerful! See you soon🤍

Lovely! Feel so much love and connection with myself. Can’t wait for the next one.
