About this Magical Mid Winter Festival
A peaceful inner retreat from home, in the midst of end-of-year hustle and bustle. You don’t have to choose, you can have both!
This magical time of the year offers an AMAZING opportunity to tune in to your Soul Mission, to capture the messages that your Soul has for you, for the upcoming year.
We Humans-on-a-Soul-Mission we thrive on self-care and slowing down, especially when being busy seems like the only option you have.

🎄 Stressful Holiday Events? 🥵
The festival provides you a daily moment for a self-connection. That doesn't have to slow you down or hold you back. On the contrary! Mindful moments help to keep our minds focused and clear. They also charge our hearts with peace and fulfillment. And isn't that what we all aim for?

About the Holy Nights 🌙

There is a magical time of the year, indeed around Christmas, but it’s not just ‘Christmas’ what I mean.
It is actually the time-difference between a ‘Solar year’ (our regular year calendar of 365 days) and a ‘Lunar year’ (as in: a year in Moon cycles, approximately 354 days).
So there is an 11-day difference between one solar year and one lunar year. And it’s these days, or better: these nights that matter! They have been mentioned since ancient times and they are called
✨THE HOLY NIGHTS✨
At this time of year the veil between the visible world and the spirit world is said to be thinner than on other days. We can utilize this magic to tap into our Soul’s mission and to dream-in what 2026 invites us to achieve from our Soul’s perspective.
We Humans-on-a-Soul-Mission we know deeply that cooperating with this unseen world creates meaning, leverage and fulfillment in our daily lives.
And isn’t that what we have to do in today’s world? Making a difference in a profound way to create a new inspired world of joy, abundance, gratitude, and love. The world that we all long for, and… we came for!
Who is hosting the Festival?
Hi, my name is Merel. Born in 1973 in the Netherlands. I’m a single parent to a teenage daughter and a self-employed life coach. I've found out that I'm a person with a deep spiritual connection and, at the same time, a very practical approach to life. To bring the best of what we have to offer into the world, I believe it’s essential to develop a strong relationship with our spiritual self while also contributing to the world around us with the unique gifts and qualities we carry. I like to call this Soul Power in Action. With a healthy balance of mind, heart and intuition – and a courageous attitude towards what we can contribute – we can take responsibility for making this world a better place than how we found it.
To do this myself, I use my intuition, coaching skills and down-to-earth approach to help people live a more authentic life, strengthen their connection with their soul mission, and bring that mission into the world with more impact. I offer personal coaching, business support and one-to-one intuitive training.
With this free online festival, I support my community by offering guidance to connect with the messages our souls are constantly sending us. Through practical, mindful exercises, I invite you to tap into your intuition, discover your truth and deepen your relationship with your spiritual self. I encourage you to channel insights from the depths of your soul and translate them into practical steps in daily life — one step at a time along the path to deeper fulfilment.

In 2023, I took brave steps to follow my inner callings. I guided my daughter out of the school system in the Netherlands and took her on a journey abroad — to reinvent ourselves as free-spirited human beings and to connect more deeply with both her and my own soul purpose. We now live in Ireland. I am building my coaching practice, and she is discovering her strengths and calling through an unschooling journey. We are happy, we take brave steps, and we are enjoying this surprising and fulfilling adventure.
I'm happy to meet you here, welcome! Let’s make miracles — and let’s do it together!
