Gabslichthuis

Gabs and her dynamic group take you on a journey through sounds, runes, inner connection, beautiful music, rituals and wish feathers, full of healing in and around yourself. The core of Gabs' approach is: 'Connecting the Mind, feelings and your Spirit'.

In daily life, Gabs is an online trauma therapist and holistic teacher in various healing methods. She shares these through special sounds daily, with a different theme or topic each day. Gabs has developed an intuitive drawing method that you can try, connected to the seasons and the power of the Wicker Dagaz. Where do your shifts in the seasons manifest? What power is born in your drawing, together with the magical word you can use and integrate long after Castlefest to nurture this energy and strength?

On Friday, Gabs and her students offer a beautiful insight into the healing elements method. With a ritual, healing and special stories, Gabs shares this remarkable journey that she has been sharing with visitors for many years. Do you feel the calling? If the answer is 'Yes!', we'd love to see you there.

With Jolande you can experience elemental healing. She also performs a beautiful ritual in the Fire of the Wicker Dagaz during Gabs' healing sounds. Through the magical sounds and the breath of the seasons, she takes you on a journey through the seasons. She has been a loyal Fairy of Gabslichthuis for many years and can provide you with wisdom and information about the Elemental healing method.

Femke leads Gabs' intuitive drawing workshops at Castlefest. As an apprentice, she has integrated healing work, crafting and intuitive drawing for many years.

Jasper offers a daily interactive lecture: 'De bezielde wereld en hoe we eruit zijn gestapt (of toch niet?)' ('The Ensouled World and How We Stepped Out of It (or Did We?)'). This year our interactive lecture explores the relationship between humans and our environment throughout time. After a brief lecture on the archaeological background of possession, things and belongings, we're curious about your story. Do you remember that one favourite teddy that got you through many sleepless nights? Do you sometimes listen to the trees? We'll explain why that's actually perfectly normal. Join us and come listen and discuss at Gabslichthuis!

Inger offers a daily experience in English: 'The Four Pillars of Norse Magic'. In this workshop, Inger Johanne introduces her "Four Pillars" approach to Nordic animist practice, working with Seid, Galdr, Runes, and Utesitting. Inger is Norwegian and works with Nordic traditions as a lived, relational practice. Through her work with Ing.Borg, she teaches internationally, offering direct and practical ways to engage with spirit, landscape, and tradition.

On Friday evening, Inger and Jasper will bundle their magical powers in a special collaboration with song, drums, guitar, listening to where it leads and the magic that surrounds us.

A wonderful programme in Gabs' Purple Tent full of promises and joy. We very much look forward to meeting each other again.
