After assisting a rites of passage for teenagers and going on a vision fast at the west coast of Sweden in 2012 she knew that she wanted to support rites of passages. When she first experienced rituals held by Dagara teacher Sobonfu Somé from Burkina Faso, integrating the elements of nature, music and dance in a sacred and purposeful space, she immediately felt at home and joined the unique three year training in nature connected rituals. Together with a training in nature awareness this became her fundament for holding rites of passage programs for teenagers. Together with Lien she designs contemporary, locally rooted community focused rituals and ceremonies. During the sitout she takes care of all things practical, including food and logistics, to allow you to be able to drop into deep listening and surrendering into the ritual space.

She is passionate about blowing life into the big ceremonies that make for a healthy and life-serving culture and to translate them to contemporary times. After some try-outs in the Ardennes she held wilderness solos in the Pyrenees for seven years. In 2020 her friend Miki Dedijer invited her to Sweden and together they started holding the ritual in a northern European tradition. The sitout was born. Lien studied with Dutch shamanic practitioner Linda Wormhoudt, among other the ‘woman of the paths’ training with a focus on sacred landscape.

She naturally ignites everybody to reconnect with their true nature and the purity of the elements. Going on this sitout gave me back my childlike surrendering and trusting in Life and Nature. Lien knows the art to combine depth with playfulness. She was the perfect guide to go on this transforming journey. I recommend this sitout to anyone who longs for Love, Truth and Freedom.

The ten days in base camp did not feel like part of my ‘normal’ life, rather like a very, very long journey. No mirrors, no walls, no running water, no time and partly no food. All of that and Lien’s way to create and hold space; with mysticism, beyond the daily life and the brain and making the invisible in and around us tangible. It was radical and partly hard but exactly this context made it possible to experience myself deeper and purer than ever before in my life. My wild, untamed soul got space. I can feel it since and it gives me power and direction on my way. Thank you.

I highly recommend the opportunity to reconnect with oneself, nature and the elements. It was a great leadership catalyst in my own life to be part of the sitout.

Little did I know that these where more than mere stories until I wandered with Lien into the woods. With tales, poetry, deep sensitivity and of course the forest itself, they spun a magical realm outside the rational where I got lost enough to find myself - or a little part of myself at least - and though they still claim the program was only 10 days, I am sure that I spent at least a month in there with the robin, the slugs, the trees, the cliff, the spirits.
