Baruch - Linda Wormhoudt - Zia



BARUCH

Baruch’s healing journey commenced in earnest after breaking his neck at age 17 while bodysurfing in Hawaii. In a quest to heal from this injury, and through years of chronic pain, Baruch focused on learning to work with the physical body (massage, shiatsu, deep tissue, nutrition, herbs), the emotional (25 years as a mental health counselor and teacher of psychology at the college and graduate levels), energy bodies (energy and aura work, flower essences, reiki), and soul work (meditation, past life regression, ritual, Iron Pentacle, Pentacle of Pearl, Pentacle of Air, shapeshifting, aspecting). Baruch is an initiated witch and priest of the Reclaiming and Feri traditions, and is an ordained minister of the Church of Universal Life and the church of Spiritual Humanism.

Baruch is a gardener and permaculturist, believing strongly in the circle of life and humanity’s place as part of the nature of Earth. He is very interested in teaching permaculture principles and practices to urban, suburban, and country dwellers alike, including from how to grow food, how to conserve and reuse water, composting, energy efficiency, and more.

The heart of Baruch’s work is the belief that awareness is a gift which allows humans to sense their relationships with everything and to act with integrity in those relationships.

ZIA - Anita Resink

The past 20 years have been a long journey towards what I am now: an urban witch.

My journey brought me along, among other things, hinduism and working with energy in Indian temple dance, encounters with mystics, witches and mages who taught me what I needed to know and training shamanic techniques that opened other, new worlds for me. Eventually I have come home in the city where I have lived all my live and in this country with the Gods who are connected with it.

I live in the center of Amsterdam, this is the place where I do my rituals, in my second floor apartment or somewhere at one of the magical places I found in the city. In this city I live the cycle of the seasons, I connect with the life force of the Earth, I talk with my Gods and I work my magic.

I love to create rituals for myself or others and it feels to be the right time now to start sharing my experience with magic and ritual with other people.
