Four directions altars
In many of my seminars and books, the four directions play an important part.
People who are interested to start doing their own ceremonies after reading a book or attending a seminar can now now order these four direction alters. The altars are made from cotton, and are available in three standard sizes:
Small (about 18 cm): € 15,-
Medium (about 30 cm): € 25,-
Large (about 45 cm): € 35,-
They can be ordered in any size up to one-and-a-half meter. Also, the colors of the Lakota wheel can be ordered (white in the south and red in the north).
If you are interested, send a mail to: dvk@xs4all.nl We will send you the info you need how to order them. |

De tranen van de voorouders
‘‘The Tears of the Ancestors’ is an important contribution to our understanding of problems rooted in collective trauma. Individuals who have been abused and victimized will be helped by becoming aware of the patterns in the soul as it responds to deep relational wounds. Those who want to look into the shadows of history and the legacy of war,persecution and genocide will gain insight into what binds us to the groups we already belong to and how we can manage this belonging in a responsible way.’

Side by Side / Samuch is still available as a ‘real’ CD, but will also be made available as a download at the same time. The new CD, Walk around the Sun, will finally be availabe by the last days of November or the first days of December and it can already be ordered.

Altar
Each of the four directions (and the additional four steps in between) is represented by an animal that embodies a specific quality. Step by step, the animal powers guide the listener through a 'shamanic work out'. Each track has it's own rhythm, sound and mood, which is sometimes accompanied by singing.
Sold out |
|
 |
|
Kusjanga
Healing songs, the voice is supported by shaman drums and rattles. Most songs were improvised in the studio, as is usual when trance and healing work are combined.
Sold out |
|
 |
|
Samuch
– Side by Side
A combination of Jewish and shamanic singing styles, as I always sing during the rituals and constellations in my seminars. Samuch contains eleven wordless melodies from dreams, sometimes accompanied by shaman drum. The inserted booklet contains descriptions of the dreams and circumstances in which I learned the songs. |

 |
|
Walk around the sun
The recordings for Walk around the Sun took half a year, all the time and care that went in iot can be heard in the results. Meditative chants, some of them in hebrew, backed up by the drum and sounds of nature. Like with the other CD’s, most of the melodies come from dreams. More information...

Black
holes in the tribal soul
In May 2005 I presented a three hours workshop at the International Conference for System Constellations in Cologne. This presentation is now available on DVD and video. The language is English (with German translation). As usual, I sing some of my dream niggunim during and between the various works. For more information and orders, you can visit the website of the publisher.

The Tears of the Ancestors
Also in 2007 I was a presenter at the International Conference for System Constellations, and two DVD’s have been released. On the first you will find a lecture of about one hour. Using several examples, I describe how I sometimes choose to let go of the classical ‘orders of love’. The second DVD is about three hours, and it shows the workshop I gave straight after the lecture. I start with several practical exercises and then lead a few constellations. Both the lecture and workshop are in English, and are translated in German.
