Workshops and Lectures I am happy to give a lecture for groups, organizations and other companies. This lecture lasts between 1 and 2 hours and can be about the following topics: - The Matrons - Shamanism and the Cosmic Cycle - Goddess worship in Ancient Europe until now - The feminine cyclical nature - Primal feminine traditions - The Web and the Three Ladies - Transition rituals - the Holy Nights and midwinter traditions During the lecture I always give several practical tips on how to get started with this theory or findings. So take a notepad with you to the lectures if you want to continue with the topic afterwards. I also provide workshops and training courses that are more aimed at (learning to) put the knowledge into practice. This is extremely important because we want a living (feminine) tradition and not a purely theoretical one. In the training I provide tools to, for example: - Get to know your female cycle better and work and live with it in a harmonious way - Workshop "Seasonal wheel" To celebrate the changing of the seasons and to work with it within the Northwest European (female) traditions, and how to attune our lives to these cycles - Workshop "make your own goddess prayer beads" or "make your own moon beads" - Matron training, to connect yourself with the sacred life-death-life and the Three Ladies (see link ) - Workshop singing, in which we will establish a connection with our core and nature by means of working with sounds - Workshop Magic of the Low Countries: workshop to strengthen our bond with the land on which we live in combination with shamanic rituals - The Cosmic Cycle, work with this in the context of healing techniques, solutions for issues, insight into yourself and the world around you and to give your spiritual life more depth by connecting with the universal cycle - Workshop Ancestry; In this workshop we will work with the contact with our ancestors and especially our foremothers - Workshop Rauhnächte (Rough Nights): the special time during the midwinter period that brings us closer to our feminine nature and we get to know Vrouw Holle in all her facets - Workshop Uterine healing These training courses / workshops can be requested, but data will also be available online in the future. So keep an eye on this website. Photos by Hans Glaudemans Workshop "Magic of the Low Countries" Eathwyse 2016

Welcome Welcome to the website of Izih Kam, shamanic healing and ritual work. I work within the Northwestern European and also Siberian shamanistic field and help people with psychological and physical complaints, help them to get rid of psychological, energetic and emotional charge and help them reconnect with the original power sources of nature and the natural world. ancestors. In this way all forces can take their proper place, harmony is created and thus promotes the health of body, mind and soul. I give shamanistic consultations , healing work , energetic treatment , massage , have a specialization in women's work, work with oracles and guide people on their own shamanistic path, individually and in groups. Detailed information on these and additional topics can be found under "Services" . It is a special, important and honorable task to make people rediscover themselves and to find the strength in themselves to make life worth living again, to be able to enjoy it and to notice positive effects in all areas from a renewed connection. As a representative and guardian of an ancient shamanic tradition, I work according to the laws of nature and the ethical code that goes with it. I also try to teach this to my fellow human beings and those seeking help so that they can enrich their lives and restore the balance in the world around them. In times of disharmony in our world, which manifests itself in lust for power, degeneration of moral values and the destruction of nature for our own gain - it is extremely important to restore our contact with nature, to renew the value of Mother Earth and Father Heaven. as well as our interconnectedness. In this period of confusion, destructive worldviews and behaviors, I am committed to preserving archaic culture and the shamanic and cultural heritage and its values and ethics. I do this as a member and representative of (the Dutch office of) the international community of 'Spirit of Wolf' . From this organization I hold fire rituals called ' Kamlanie ' around the new and full Moon for the benefit of the healing of people, the community and the well-being of our planet and thus the descendants.

Shamanic Massage Massage is a good way to relax, loosen muscle knots, stimulate blood flow and remove toxins. Energetic blockages can also be released through physical massage and for many people it is a good way to get out of the head and thus restore contact with their body. Shamanism is always intertwined with my work and in the massage through working with the spirits and especially the elemental spirits. Classic Massage ​ I have completed a training in Classical - also Swedish - Massage (with anatomy) at Mood Massage Training Courses. The Classic Massage is the most famous massage form and is the predecessor of the sports massage. The following techniques are discussed: - Palpation (sensory examination) - Intermittent printing (relaxation and habituation) - Effleurages (ironing with oil) - Petrissages (kneading without oil) - Frictions (very local technique) - Shakes (relaxation) - Tapotages (activating) A massage is normally always the back, legs and arms (incl. Feet and hands), but you can always adjust this according to need or complaint, I can also massage based on intuition, so I pay attention to what I feel. Sometimes I make use of herbal smoke, gemstones, color and being open to messages that come through during the treatment. Cupping is also possible. Benefits of a massage ​ Everyone always associates massage with relaxation, and of course nothing could be further from the truth. However, there are several benefits to be gained with massage, this is also due to the form of the massage of course. With the Classic Massage we are talking about the following: - promotes blood flow - deep relaxation - lowers blood pressure - loosens tense muscles - loosens muscle knots - improves the immune system - disposal of waste - better awareness and contact with the body - improves sleep - deepening of breathing - removal of excess moisture - positive effect on mood (production of oxytin) - decrease in heart rate - better flow of life energy Element energies A massage can last 30 minutes or 60 During the massage I use the guidance of the spirits and I work together with the element spirits Earth, Water, Fire and Air. They tell me the balance in the body on a physical and energetic level and it may be that afterwards, in consultation with you, I ask the element to come and help restore the balance. This can be in the form of: - adulation - sprinkling with water or working with ice - candles - working with mud or earth Nothing happens in consultation, so together we determine what is needed to get body and mind back into balance. ​ Practical issues A massage can last 30 minutes or 60 minutes, whatever you need. The massage can be complaint-oriented, for example if you suffer from your shoulders, I pay extra attention to this, but can also be generally relaxing or in combination with a shamanic healing session. An intuitive massage is also possible. You can indicate this in advance. You also indicate in advance what I can and cannot massage, whether you have pain somewhere, whether you are chronically ill or other things that are relevant for me to know before we start the treatment. Of course you will not come if you suffer from symptoms that could indicate a recent Covid-19 infection. The massage is given in my practice room in Haastrecht and you don't have to bring anything yourself, at most some clothes that you can easily put on and take off, such as sweatpants. You will receive a cup of tea in advance and a nice cold glass of water afterwards. I always work hygienic / mouth mask, and will sometimes ask a question during the massage about, for example, the pressure or the things that I consider necessary but may be different than you are used to, such as frictions (applying pressure to a button or tendon attachment to increase blood flow. stimulate and dispose of waste); which can sometimes be quite unexpected. 30 minutes massage: € 37, - inc. VAT * (only the back, or back, arms, legs at an activating pace) 60-minute massage : € 56, - ​​incl.VAT * (back, legs, arms) This includes a 15-minute anamnesis interview in advance * If you are interested in a massage, send a message via the contact form. I will then ask you some short questions about your expectations and wishes and arrange a date with you. I hope to see you!

Rituals for the Dead and Mourning The ritual customs around dying, the deceased and the bereaved have diminished enormously after the upheavals of the past centuries. Again, the rituals, guidance and certainly the religious character around dying have greatly diminished and forgotten. The Enlightenment brought us reason and wanted to reduce fears in general, partly through the "victory" over darkness, the body and nature through science and reason. Slowly, rituals from pre-Christian times disappeared and people began to fear death and the life after, and folk beliefs became increasingly disconnected from everyday life. Today's customs around dying are stripped of religious influences, are short, quick and preferably we just want the incident to be concluded quickly. We now prefer to deal practically with negative feelings, get on with life, which is what everything is about. Spiritual guidance around dying is hard to find, except in the philosophical corner and the church. But now many people are religious outside these structures, they are spiritual, often they do believe in some kind of God and sometimes they adhere to a nature religion. People believe in an afterlife, have questions about it but cannot turn to anyone. The dark goddess and sickle of Frau Holle, European goddess of death and rebirth. Flowers at a roadside altar on Texel In ancient times there were and priests but also, even further back, shamans and other medicine women and men to whom people went to consult when they themselves were about to die or someone had died, and laid to them their grief but also their questions. Where is my loved one now? Where am I going? What do I need to do to die well? What does my dying person need next to? What are rituals I can do after death? I offer my guidance in this, as a shaman in the Spirit of Wolf tradition, dying rituals are inseparable from the work itself. Dying is part of life, every minute something dies, in yourself or around you. An idea, a hair, a plant, an insect. Like marriage and birth, we also work with Death. We see her as a merciful door to the other side, she comes for everyone but the path to it is important to walk in relative peace and acceptance to find peace as a soul, after laying down the physical body. All the rituals I use come from the tradition of Spirit of Wolf. My relationship with death Death is inextricably intertwined with my life. When I was 27, I saw my father die before my eyes, then I had the opportunity to keep 2 other family members company on their deathbeds. I know the overwhelming feelings of grief and sorrow, as well as the loss. I also know the difficult feelings while watching over the dying, mourning in life and my time in care has taught me about what exactly happens to the dying. It is an intense, emotional time when death comes into your life. But that time is not all negative to look at, sometimes great feelings of acceptance or unity, or resignation occur and people reconcile. Death brings us back to the essence, what is important in life? What does life mean to me? Who are important? It strips us of all side issues and brings us to the core; Who am I? Death teaches us about life. A specific altar dedicated to praying for the dying person. Feelings are structured, channeled and aimed at promoting the dying and also mourning process. ​ What can I do for you and/or your loved one(s)? - Spiritual and psychological (emotional) support for the dying and bereaved through counselling - Rituals during funeral/cremation services - Support in grieving through different methods such as certain rituals - Support for your loved one who has died, guiding the soul to the other side (through 3-monthly fire rituals) - Remote rituals to support the dying and loved ones in terms of energy, emotion regulation, tension release and maintaining connection with each other These services are subject to a customised fee; this is determined in consultation with those involved and recorded in writing For more information on my working methods and other questions related to mourning and dying, please send me an e-mail.

Every full and new moon, and on the equinoxes and solstices, I hold a public fire ritual from the shamanic perspective of classical (siberian) shamanism called 'Kamlanie'. Its translation is roughly, "The shaman who communicates with the spirits". The ritual aims at healing for participants and collaborating with the spirits of ancestors and nature to promote the prosperity of humanity, animals, nature and the whole Earth. During the light half of the year (between March and September), we add positive, healing energy to the collective field; for ourselves and humanity; that they may become more aware of the sacredness of Mother Earth and the interconnectedness between all of us; human, plant and animal and there is space for empowerment and healing of the full potential of clients/participants. We feed the Great Spirits of nature and the spirits of our immediate environment through the fire and our offerings, the shaman channels the spirits to give you a blessing from them. Our connection with the immediate environment is important to restore, the physical connection but also our invisible connections. In this way, we help restore very old traditional values that assume harmonious interaction between humans and the environment. This ritual contributes to this, especially when performed every month. In the dark half of the year (between September and March), we sacrifice to the ancestors; those who invisibly guide us and are our roots. In doing so, we give to the fire what no longer serves us and may be transformed, at the individual level and at the level of our community. The fire ritual is an ancient, powerful and transformative ritual in which people have experienced and initiated truly life-changing events. The spirits are energetically present, with us, with us, in harmony and connection, and can really bring about great changes in everyone's lives. We as humanity are in a transitional situation that will determine our future. There is a big climate problem which is partly due to our disrupted connection with Mother Earth and we are hurting her a lot, as well as her creatures and ourselves. Let's make a sacred fire together, drumming, singing and dancing, whatever you want, to help us humans go through this transition to another way of life well, that each may free themselves from limiting programmes and thoughts and remember the original human values and our connection to all that lives. Several people around the world (more than 150) participate in this ritual, remotely, at the same time. We create a network of shamans and shamanic practitioners working in the same way. Together, we heal our environment and provide regeneration for our pained Mother Earth. We activate old power places in nature or create new power places by doing these rituals. You can also participate at home with a special big candle that you can use for this purpose. Each little flame is fine, just as each of us adds a little energy to the whole so that together we can make a big difference. Fill in the ritual further in your own way but at least include the above intention. On instagram, certain themes are sometimes invoked by moon phases or moments in the year. The kamlanie ritual is a ritual for healing and transformation, not a seasonal celebration. It deals with personal and social themes with the aim of turning them around for the better and to thank and honour the spirits for all we are allowed to receive from them and life itself. The ceremonies are coordinated by me as well as by the international community Spirit of Wolf. Spirit of Wolf is an international organisation for the preservation of traditional shamanism and universal human values and stands for spreading shamanic thought in order to make people remember their connection to the Earth. In this way, Spirit of Wolf hopes for a more harmonious society of man and nature, respect for creation and for the Great Soul, and thus hopes to create a more hopeful future for our descendants. I myself am a personal student of shaman Morsuk Kam and have the Dutch office of Spirit of Wolf under my care. For application or membership, please contact me. Fundamental values of me and Spirit of Wolf are therefore: - spiritual freedom and self-empowerment through direct and profound experience - friendship, humanity, honouring diversity as the different expressions of the Great Soul - responsibility for one's own actions in love and respect for Mother Earth - truth and clarity in the light of the universal laws of nature and the universe We are all brothers and sisters, living under the same sky. We are the keepers of the Earth and the children of heaven. The ceremonies are public and a contribution is requested only from me and/or the owner/operator of the venue. A donation is compulsory, even if it is so small. It may be money (from this I buy offerings, wood, fuel, smoke herbs, again next time) but it may also be something else small such as an offering, a piece of coloured cloth, black tea, sage herbs, juniper bushes, special stones or other things that I can use in my work or something nice or enjoyable for the owner of the location. Giving gifts shows respect and a balanced exchange of energy. What can you bring (not required): - drum or rattle if you have one Offerings - from March 21 to September 21: - white foods such as white bread without salt, flour, rice, milk, cheese, sweets, sweet cakes, flowers From September 21 to March 21 (dark half of the year): - everything your ancestors loved, traditional food and drink from your country or your ancestors (this does not necessarily have to be the Netherlands) - white food such as white bread, flour, milk, sweets (really only bring a HUGE amount because it will soon become too much and otherwise we will have to have a second dinner) Signing up via email is mandatory!

Traditioneel Sjamanisme De Fundamenten - groep Start: februari 2022 The ritual is less focused on our “I”, but is meant for the community and the greater whole, and of course we also share in this energy. The Saturday night closest to the full Moon, we gather as a community at the ritual fire to do healing work for our community, for the well-being of our fellow human beings and for the Earth. For the community, by the community. As humanity, we are in a transitional situation that will determine our future. There is a major climate problem partly due to our disrupted connection to Mother Earth and we are in the process of hurting her a lot, as well as her creatures. There is a lot of fear surrounding corona and also fear of changes that we will simply have to make to get through this transition. Let's make a sacred fire together, drum, sing and dance, whatever you want, to help us humans get through this transition, remembering the original human values, connection and love again. Several people around the world participate in this ritual, remotely, at the same time. We create a network of shamans and shamanic practitioners who work in the same way. Together we heal our environment and provide regeneration for our tormented Mother Earth. We activate old places of power in nature or create new places of power. You can also participate at home with, for example, a special candle that you can use for this. Any flame is fine, just as each of us adds a little bit of energy to the whole so that together we can make a big difference. Complete the ritual in your own way, but at least take the above intention with you. On Instagram , certain themes are sometimes quoted per moon phase.
