My Story

​

 

Hi there, fellow human-being,

​

thank you for visiting this page, my name is Carlijn Geluk. I would love to share a little bit about myself with you.

 

I was born in Zeeland, on a little ''island'' in the Netherlands in 1991. I have lived quite a privileged and free childhood. Grew up in the countryside, surrounded by animals and lots of land to play upon. I have been able to travel and live in different places in the world. 

 

I was a very sensitive kid, always trying to find ways to make everyone feel loved and included. I desired to live in love and harmony with all that is. As I grew up and got exposed to the ''real world'' more and more, I simply could not understand the way our society was built. I still don't. 

​

Due to several (traumatic) events during my teens, I started to shut down. My biggest quality: my sensitivity, became my ''enemy". It was safer not to feel so much, it was safer to numb out and "leave" my body. 

​

But my consciousness had to return to my ''vessel'' at some point. About 7 years ago, I started to come alive again, studying and working with social innovation, making an ''impact'' on the world. That inner desire of harmony was sparked again. This was my way IN.  

​

I started a little venture, organizing social impact expeditions to Nepal, where we combined a social innovation project with personal growth. I was exposed to so much beauty there, the warmth of the people, the ancient wisdom, yoga, energy work, too much share here, but check out my documentary if you'd like! 

 

This experience landed me deeper into my inner-being than ever before. As I started to explore my inner landscape, I went low, I went high, and everything in between, I burned out, burned in, and I am continuing to find myself in new ways again and again.

 

To sum it up, I learned that my body and inner-being is a safe space to be, and I am learning to carry myself and take responsibility over my own emotions, and the way I want to live life. 

 

I learned that I am not responsible to fix or ''heal'' anyone. 

 

Instead, I experienced how beautiful it is to offer my presence, to see the other person in their wholeness, and maybe even to walk with someone while they remember and recognize this wholeness in themselves. 

​

Over the years, my desire to ''change'' a person, or ''change'' the world, made place for my desire to BE love, to be IN love with people and the world around me. My desire for harmony though, is still present, and one day, I feel to (re)turn to places and elders where ancient wisdom is kept, to humbly witness and learn how to embody the principles that create harmony for both humanity as well as Mother Earth. 

 

For now, I feel to live freely, and share my presence with anyone who resonates with my vibe ;) 

 

I am in the Netherlands this summer, and in Spain & Portugal this winter travelling by campervan! 

 

So who knows, our paths may cross and we might just meet in Love :)
