Zoe gave up her house and her teaching job as a linguist, to fully live her life as a dance. She lives where she works or where people welcome her. Traveling and speaking many languages seem to be part of that dance. As she doesn’t have any thoughts about who she is and who she should be, she completely surrenders to the present moment. The present moment is her only permanent companion, her beloved traveling guide, and biggest inspiration in working with people.
“It is my wish to inspire people to live their life in the light of the present moment, to transcend the level of the mind and its endless thoughts, and remember who they truly are.”Zoe mostly draws from her own direct spiritual experience. She is also inspired by Advaita Vedanta (non-duality), Sufism (the ultimate reality is Love) and Tantrism (masculine and feminine energy come together in oneness). She writes articles in two Dutch magazines* and shares her inspiration in the newsletters you find on this website.
In 2010 Zoe had her first opening. One night she woke up bursting out laughing. ‘Living as God!’ she said. She realized that believing her thoughts was her only problem. ‘If I don’t believe my thoughts, I become totally available for Life/God to live through this body …’ The next morning she started writing and two weeks later she finished the book Living as God. It is still available in Dutch and in English.** Nobody’s Dance seems to be the sequel to Living as God. “Back then there was a lot of mental clarity, now there is a much deeper experience of that reality that is Love.”
“When we become unattached to our stories, past and future and other fantasies, we become transparent. We remember our true nature and become available for life to dance through us. Our life becomes a Nobody’s Dance.”Zoe is a citizen of Belgium but the world is her home. Zoe offers private sessions in person when possible. She also works through online private sessions. The energy doesn’t care about distance. She is fluent in Dutch, English and French, and also uses Italian and German to talk to people.

DEBORAH EDEN TULL, founder of Mindful Living Revolution, teaches the integration of compassionate awareness into every aspect of our lives, bridging personal and collective awakening in an age of global change. She is an engaged Buddhist teacher, spiritual activist, author, eco-dharma educator, and facilitator of The Work That Reconnects, a field created by Buddhist scholar and eco-philosopher Joanna Macy for transforming our love and pain for our world into compassionate action.
Eden teaches dharma intertwined with post-patriarchal thought and practices, resting upon a lived knowledge of our unity with the more than human world. She has practiced meditation for 30 years and trained for seven and a half years as a Buddhist monk at the Zen Monastery Peace Center, a silent Zen monastery in the Sierra foothills. She has been teaching for over 20 years.
Eden’s teaching emphasizes relational presence, acknowledging the personal, interpersonal, intrapersonal, transpersonal, societal, ecological, mystical, and global impacts of embodied dharma. She has worked with a wide range of audiences, from dharma students and spiritual teachers to those practicing or teaching secular mindfulness, to concerned citizens, activists, leaders, and change agents, to parents, schools, inner city youth, nonprofits, corporations, and people who are incarcerated.
Eden taught for many years with UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center, and has been collaborating with Nina Simons, co-founder of Bioneers since 2012, on the topics of Regenerative Leadership, Women’s Leadership, and Sacred Activism. She is also a member of the national Eco-Dharma Advisory Committee of Buddhist teachers and leaders in the eco-dharma movement.
Eden has a special gift for facilitating mindful inquiry and fierce compassion, and bridging personal, ancestral, and collective healing. Weaving dharma with her embodiment of animism, deep ecology, shadow work, somatic awareness, ancestral healing, and conscious movement/dance, she helps people release limiting beliefs and collective biases that have been passed down over generations. She draws upon her own experience of navigating loss, illness, and trauma, guiding people to embrace the mystery and celebrate the value and alchemy of light and darkness as teachers of love.
Having lived in or taught about sustainable communities and organic gardening/permaculture for decades, Eden weaves the essential wisdom of nature into everything she teaches. She currently resides in the mountains of western North Carolina, originally Cherokee land, with her husband Mark. She offers retreats, workshops, and consultations nationally and internationally, integrating presence and partnership with nature.
Eden feels that the most important aspect of being a teacher is continually being a student. She continually immerses herself in trainings and retreats, recognizing direct experience as our truest guide. She works closely with mentor Pam Weiss, author of A Bigger Sky: Awakening a Fierce Feminine Buddhism, to deepen her embodiment of Soto Zen Buddhism in the lineage of Suzuki Roshi.

Lauren Friedman, Founder and CEO, LFE by It Seemed Like A Good Idea Time Enterprises LLC, an umbrella brand focused on Complex Trauma – so pervasive and so obvious that it’s hiding in plain sight from professionals AND persons living in perennial chaos. A Pediatric Complex Trauma Nonprofit to launch.
Lauren, a prolific 20-year AdTech (Advertising & Technology) veteran, experienced almost four decades of disparate somatic responses to trauma without being properly diagnosed. Lauren has been being treated for Adrenal Fatigue/High-Functioning Complex PTSD since December 2021 after "living" in Survival Mode unknowingly from under the age of two thru 39.
Ironically, Lauren was born with a natural ability to connect with others, while being incredibly disconnected from herself. A walking picture of Complex Trauma – and once you see life through the lens of trauma, you can’t unsee it.
Through Lauren’s transformative, jaw-dropping, can’t make this sh*t up, navigating and healing lifelong Complex Trauma and Sobriety Spectrum™ journey, her soul’s purpose and mission on this planet became clear.
Now Lauren (LFE) is Championing the HOW-ARE U HEALING™ Revolution as a trauma-informed connector and storyteller. Breaking stereotypes, barriers to entry and baffling with brilliance on a global scale, by helping humans find connection, inspiration, education and support.

In an instant, my whole life changed. Everything shifted. Nothing made sense, yet everything was clear. Many of us are driven and propelled by the events that happen to us, instead of taking those events and rising above to an even better place. Bills must be paid, so we focus on how to make money rather than honing in on our true purpose. I feel eternally blessed for my wake up call…
Within 48 hours, I found out that cancer had been removed from my body and was “no longer there” – before I could even process “beating” such a terrible disease, my mother was taken from this earth.
It was then that I knew that I was put here for something bigger, something greater than myself.
My vision is to transform your life through REdefining the connection between your mind, body, soul, and space, reimagining the way we live worldwide. Whether that be through your yoga practice or through connecting your space to your mind, body, and soul, I am here to support you on your journey.
My background starts in the arts and interior design, and I have been practicing yoga for over 15 years. My love and appreciation for its beauty and joy that it brings to my life grows every day. I offer a unique, artistic and comprehensive approach to the practice that encourages students to view challenges from alternate perspectives, and to live their lives to the fullest potential!
I have always been drawn to working with and supporting people. Being able to have a positive impact on how someone goes about their day, week or even life is what keeps me going. Yoga has changed my life both on and off the mat. I would be honored to work with you, and look forward to speaking with you soon.
From My Heart To Yours,
MAJA RE

I sat down at Artspace at Untitled for an incredibly deep and meaningful conversation with the members of the OKC based fusion band Local Man Ruins Everything: Jay Gleason, Byron "Chopz" Collins, Eric Harris, and Adam Ledbetter.
It is one of those conversations that totally captures the essence of a group of musicians at higher level of Consciousness. - Laat meer zien
