A BIT MORE ABOUT ME

Celebreathe is an initiative by Juliette Westerink (1993), breathwork coach, facilitator, trainer and event organiser and an endless idealist, only just trying to save the world in the meantime ;)

My origins are rooted in England and my upbringing was primarily in the Netherlands. My upbringing has been typical Western, which is full of many things good. Yet also, I believe that the Dutch pragmatism and the Western upbringing and education system that I have received, does not teach us how to live in harmony and deep connection with the Earth, oneself, each other and our communities. As such, I feel determined to ‘re-learn’ how to live in harmony with all of life. This learning process has given me a lot of joy and sense of meaning.  

Throughout my 20’s I have felt sad, anxious and numb about the state of the world aswell I often felt (and still can feel) like I had do not know how to live life. I guess a regular human state, no? Yet, for me, also with the privileges I have, these feelings as well as an endless curiosity for trying out new things, led me to seek out many different activities that gave me joy and a sense of connection to something meaningful. All the things I share with Celebreathe are activities or tools that have supported me in finding a sense of hope and connection in life. I look forward to sharing it with others and hope they enjoy it as much as I do.
