< 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 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 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 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 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 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/

I take you on a sacred date with yourself, on a journey to the source of pleasure within our very own female bodies. Fully enjoying your body, your breasts, and your yoni (Sanskrit for your female reproductive organs: vulva, vagina, and uterus). We work with a yoni crystal: a wand, egg, stick, spoon, serpent, or rod, in various crystals such as jade, glass, obsidian, or rose quartz (non-vibrating). You are invited to view your pelvis as your sanctuary and to open deeply towards pleasure in slow motion. One or more sisters help form a foundation for you, in a way that feels right for you. They whisper, encourage you, ask questions, or share their own tips and tricks. Shameless enjoyment takes center stage. Together with your crystal, you dive into the adventure. You can bring your own crystal or purchase one on site. Whoever you are, whatever you have already experienced… The pleasure is all yours! Bring: Large and small towels, sarong, pareo, wrap, or long scarf. Optional: your own oil suitable for intimate use, your own yoni crystal.

The chair becomes your playing field. Your stage. Your mirror. You don't have to act anything out or perform. Just move. Authentically. In your own way. Bring: Layered clothing that allows you to move easily. A touch of playfulness or sensuality is welcome.

A edgy one-woman show about female sexuality, freedom, and desire. Following this, you are invited to shake it all off yourself during a twerk workshop. Learn the tricks of the trade in a playful way and (re)discover how powerful, sensual, and liberating movement can be. Shameless, juicy, and raw. Nothing is mandatory, everything is allowed.

Daarin overlopen we alle sessies. En beantwoorden we alle vragen die er nog zijn. Die zoom wordt ook opgenomen, die kan je dus later nog beluisteren. Kan ik vrij kiezen welke sessies ik volg? Ja. Een drietal weken op voorhand wordt je uitgenodigd om je programma samen te stellen. Hoe dat werkt leggen we uit in de betreffende mail. En tijdens het festival zelf, kan je ook nog veranderen als er plaatsjes vrij komen. Of soms kan je wisselen met iemand. Hoe spannend zijn de sessies? Dat verschilt. Daarom werken we met pepertjes. Die geven een indicatie. Uitleg daarover vind je op de website. Tijdens sommige sessies zitten we in een kring te praten. Tijdens andere sessies is er naakt. En er zijn proeverijen waar veel zinnelijke energie aan te pas komt. Er zijn geen orgieën of seksfeestjes. 😉 De pepertjes geven richting én zeggen niet alles. Het is geen 100% waterdicht systeem. Want praatsessies kunnen heel spannend zijn (voor jou). En een vier-pepertjes-sessie kan heel easy aanvoelen. Lees rustig het aanbod. Kom naar de infosessie. Vertrouw op je intuïtie. En verander eventueel tijdens het festival nog van gedacht. Moet ik overal aan deelnemen? Nee. Niets moet. Jij kiest waar je wel en niet aan deel neemt. Op elk moment. Als je beslist om aan een bepaalde proeverij toch niet mee te doen, is het wel zo fijn om je plaatsje vrij te geven.
