< Back Circle Keepers & Whispering Woman During the festival, there are 4 circle moments . We gather in the same small groups of no more than 15 women to share our experiences. Whispering, giggling, and uninhibited sharing are allowed. We create space for fantasy, blushing, and fun. And also for silence, letting things sink in, and sinking even deeper into our female bodies. Above all, the circle is a place where you can simply be your authentic, sensual self. Experienced circle keepers guide these moments of sharing, play, and deepening. We would like to introduce them to you below! At the festival, there is also a Whispering Woman : Saskia Szepansky. Did you have an intense experience and/or do you need a chat, a listening ear, or just some company? Then Saskia is there for you. At the bottom of this page, you will also find a photo of Saskia: this way, you will easily recognize her at the festival. You can approach her at any time, and you can also find her at set times in the Hooizolder. Circle hats Lynn Cools Thanks to the Whispering Festival, I came home more and more to my pelvis, my body, and myself. What started as searching became remembering. I know the foundation of a circle well: a place where you are allowed to be in all dimensions of who you are. This year, for the first time, I am leading a circle myself. I bring myself fully: powerful and vulnerable, lovingly confronting, playful and dancing freely. Professionally, I work as an organizational coach and annually facilitate the Wild Walk for women, where women rediscover their wild wisdom. www.onweerstaanbaarwild.be Borrow Public I was fortunate enough to attend numerous women's festivals and helped shape the first Whisper Festival. I have become more of a woman, more of a human being in accepting women's circles. Drawing on my years of experience facilitating groups and working as an individual and relationship coach, I once again feel the call to create a space, in turn, where women are welcome with everything and can connect. Borrow Public Greet Luypaert Through coaching, transformative bodywork, systemic and ritual work, we embark on a journey together toward becoming a more embodied woman. Individually or in a group. Together with my partner Erik, I guide entrepreneurial couples toward a deeper connection as the foundation for their impact in the world, through individual tracks and group retreats. At the Fluisterfestival, I will be there as a circle facilitator and professional. www.greetluypaert.be Griet Smits I lead workshops, retreats, and programs centered on authentic female sexuality and other women's themes, aiming to help women sparkle again and awaken their inner power. I love the vibrant, playful, and sensual energy of the Whisper Festival. As a circle keeper, I am happy to provide a safe space for this sensual journey. www.degrieten.be Deauke Robbens For my 5th participation in the Whisper Festival, I am setting off again – with ever-increasing enthusiasm – from my magical mountain in Catalonia. A drive of about 1,300 km. I coach female entrepreneurs aged 40+ on mental health through cognitive behavioral therapy, exercise, and habits. From chronic stress to living with passion. It is an honor to be a circle keeper again. Deauke Robbens Veerle Giltjes Living and sharing 'the power of feminine softness'. Fascinated by the wisdom of our bodies and rituals, I guide and inspire people individually and in groups. Breathwork, touch, or massage as a gateway to your true self and new possibilities. Circles are one of my passions; I believe in the power of the circle and love to nourish this vibrant field with the magic of a whispering circle. www.veerle.love Whispering Woman Saskia Szepansky I work with teams and their leaders, preferably in challenging situations: transition, conflict, or intense changes. Through constellations or hypnosis, I enjoy delving into the unconscious and the subconscious. As a therapist, I often work with grief, farewells, and loss. Intensive training in sexuality adds an extra dimension to my work. In addition, I write poetry, and my hands love working with textiles and making custom talking sticks. Women's circles are very dear to me. I look forward to forming a mini-sisterhood for three days around this stimulating theme! https://www.pasas.be/ https://www.coaching-psychotherapie.be/

Programma van fluisterfestival / whispers in the dark, november 2026. Uitleg over de verschillende proeferijen. De fluisterfestival line-up. Program The program of the Whisper Festival consists of three ingredients: the common program, women's circles, and tastings. In addition, there is room for Me-Time. And you can browse in the little shops! Below you will find more explanation for each section. Three Ingredients: 1 Joint program Common means that we all dive into something, listen, and exchange ideas. So, all women together. There are four such moments during the festival: at the opening, at the closing, and during the two evenings. Read more 2 Women's Circle moments There are four circle sessions, spread over the three days. Each lasts an hour. Guided by an experienced guardian and always with the same group of women. Anyone who wants to can share their whispering experiences there without hesitation. That way, we spread the pleasure even more. Read more 3 The tastings The tastings last two hours. Ample time to give you a pleasantly stimulating – who knows, perhaps new – experience. And to introduce you to the accompanying sensual professional. And her offerings.

Read more ME-TIME Besides all this, it is of course also possible not to participate in the program at all. To enjoy the salon and the park. To sleep in. To chat with this person or that. To write or read at a table in the sun. To enjoy the vibes without necessarily getting fully involved yourself. Even then, you are completely welcome! pop-up shops During the festival, there are also always a number of pop-up shops. We transform the Tower Room of the castle into a Valhalla where you can find erotic treats and toys, interesting books, sensual jewelry, or provocative illustrations.
