Singing the New World into Being - a singing Circle in Amsterdam and Utrecht. We sing for ourselves. We sing for each other. We sing for the world. Through our singing we can sense a new potential arising - the potential for lasting peace and lasting love. Singing Circle Amsterdam singing the new world into being Singing can reconnect us — to our voice, to our bodies, and to a sense of belonging. In our circles, we explore the power of simple songs and mantras to open the heart and bring us back to ourselves. We sing not to fix or improve, but to feel and express, together. I want to join Next ones May 12 & May 26 2025 7.30 - 9.30 pm Sukkha Yoga Amsterdam Find out more What the evening looks like Our singing evenings last about two hours. Together, we create a gentle and nourishing field through sound, presence, and silence. We end the evening with a cup of tea and time to land. You don't need any singing experience — everyone is welcome. We begin with gentle voice-liberation exercises to warm up and land in the space. We sing mantras and community songs from a variety of traditions, including our own. Between the songs, we have a moment of silence. We keep words to a minimum — letting sound be our language. You’re welcome to express what’s alive in you — to celebrate, to mourn, to sound, to be still. You can sing, hum, dance, or simply lie down and receive. No singing experience needed. For us, singing is about expressing — whatever it sounds like. We often leave feeling more alive, connected and embodied. We'd love to have you with us! Sign up Our Vision Our dream is that this circle becomes a place of community—a space where singing nourishes us, awakens us, and reminds us of what’s possible. That through song, we remember our essence, our love, our power. That we walk away feeling more alive, more open, and more connected to the new world that's possible for us. About Singing You don't need to be able to 'sing' (whatever that means). For us, singing is about using your voice to express whatever is alive in you. To celebrate and mourn life, through giving sound to what's here. This is something we can practice - and as with any practice, this can sometimes feel new or uncomfortable. We love to create spaces where people feel safe to experiment and explore. The Singing Field We are creating a singing container with a dedicated group, that gathers 6 times over the course of 3 months to sing together. This rhythm allows for deepening in the practice of singing, creates a sense of community, and serves as a source of energy and nourishment. The first Singing Field will start in July 2025. If this resonates, we'd love to have you with us! Join us here . We also organize singing evenings which you can join seperately. Next ones are May 12 and May 26 at Sukkha Yoga Amsterdam. Sign up here . I want to join Meet the Musicians Emma - Guitar & Vocals From a young age I always brought my guitar with me and made up songs to sing together with my friends and family. After high school I lost my joy in playing for a while because I thought I had to be 'good'. Until I lived in a community in France in 2022 and a friend of mine invited me to co-lead a singing circle together. I was deeply touched. I fell in love with my guitar again and began exploring the world of mantras and songs that bring people together. I have a deep passion for community building and creating spaces where people can come together in realness— celebrating the joys and sorrows of being human, connecting to the Sacred and to what’s possible for us as humanity. I create these spaces through music—as a singing circle leader and DJ—and through relational work as a Nonviolent Communication and Circling trainer. Marjolein - Percussion I am all about being natural and authentic. About embodying love, honesty and freedom. Which includes joy, humor and in my case also rythm. I love to carefully tune in on a setting, and play the rythm that flows in that moment. Sometimes subtle and careful, and on other times full of passion and playfulness. What I love about singing circles is the power of collective remembrance of who we truly are: nature, love, joy, alive, awake, divine, consciousness. And that we truly are One. Separation is the illusion we have to see through. Especially now. During gatherings like this, we get into a frequency of love and consciousness. And the more we find ourselves in these frequencies, the more we can bring them home to ourselves, and eventually in the world around us. Aafje - Vocals & Ukelele Singing has always been a source of joy and connection for me. My singing lessons in high school taught me technique, but I discovered that singing with more freedom touches me much more deeply. It is a way to ground and to express creatively. Singing together, especially in the repetition of mantras, opens up a creative space for me in which I can experiment with my voice. It helps me to connect — with myself, with each other, and with something greater. That experience is something I would love to share. I'd love to join! 'Singing is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It’s like taking a deep breath, getting quiet, and going inside.' - Deva Premal

Send "When I worked with Emma, I was in the midst of deep existential questioning with a particular pain point around belonging. What I found most beneficial was her lack of urgency to 'fix' things. Instead, her approach of simply being present with my experiences, without pushing for a solution, was paradoxically the most helpful. It allowed me to understand and accept my journey at my own pace, in a way that felt natural and unforced. From the beginning, Emma's ability to listen deeply was apparent. Her listening goes beyond just hearing words; it's about connecting with the subtle layers of felt experience, making you feel genuinely heard and understood. But what struck me most about Emma was the environment she created by her mere presence. There's a transparency and authenticity in how she presents herself, giving me an immediate sense of trust. That, combined with her sensitivity to body language, tone, and her own intuition, it's clear that she is a highly skilled coach." Sophie J., Berkely U.S.

Hi, my name is Emma. I am a facilitator, coach, and bridge builder with a deep passion for helping individuals and collectives connect to Wholeness. My work is rooted in a simple yet profound question: What is possible for human beings and humanity when we dare to truly listen—to ourselves, to each other, and that which wants to emerge in this moment? Key Skills Leadership Development & Coaching Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Facilitation & Group Dynamics (Circling, Collective Emergence) Transformational Boundaries & Shadow Work Purpose & Vision Work Decision-Making & Relational Skills Transformative Coaching (Presence-Based) Sensing Potential & Growing Body Awareness Embodied Leadership & Vulnerability in Leadership 'Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.' - Rumi Where I Come From From a young age, I was fascinated by the intricate dynamics of relationships and the unspoken layers beneath words. My parents' divorce made me realize I didn’t know what I felt, what I needed, and certainly not how to communicate all of this. At 17, physical pain led me to start meditating. The immediate relief I experienced planted a seed for a journey of deepening presence. Two years later, at 19, I discovered the book Nonviolent Communication on my mother’s bookshelf. I was intrigued. It gave me answers I was looking for, ways to express myself. I dove into NVC, continuing to study and deepen my understanding of it intensely over the next decade. Alongside this, I also began exploring other practices that resonated with NVC, further expanding my tools for self-awareness and relational growth. After completing my Political Science degree at the University of Amsterdam, I traveled to Buddhist monasteries, immersed myself in courses on consciousness practices, and lived in intentional communities. By the age of 26, I had begun teaching my own courses in connective communication. These experiences deepened my curiosity and commitment to exploring the dynamics of connection, emergence, and leadership through transformative practices like Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Bodywork, consent decision making and Circling. My journey has been one of continuous learning on the edge of the unknown. I see any moment as a moment of practice; in which we can step into who we want to be, meeting life beyond right and wrong. At the heart of everything I do is a deep commitment to integrity, connection and presence. I believe this is where the power of humanity lies. Becoming truly present to what's here, and sourcing new ways of being that go beyond what we can imagine. And through that, creating a world that works for all life. This is why I'm here. Creating generative spaces for groups, teams and individuals to step into their truth, discover clarity, feel deeply seen and heard, and discover new ways of being. I have a natural ability to create environments of trust and possibility, where people can explore, experiment, and together practice bringing the new world into being. If any of this resonates, I would love to connect with you. Until then, I hope we all wil keep walking to that more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. In reverence to the mystery of life, Emma Kind words Marina L., Italy Emma, you exude confidence and welcoming while still feeling vulnerable and real to me. The topics of your courses challenge me to look through a new lens in a way that feels deeply inspiring. Thank you! Enrique F., U.K. Emma's sessions are highly beneficial. She has a strong and deep presence that feels solid, soothing and grounding. She also has a rare combination of gifts where she is able to be really allowing and giving space when required, and also bring a crystal clear focus when is needed. I highly recommend working with her. Janna M., Netherlands What I experienced was such a nourishing space. I got a lot of inspiration. Before this course I felt so exhausted and had troubles in my relationship. Now I feel connected to my own luminosity, hope and the future we really want to create.
