Merel Maria Meessen works at the intersection of yoga, breathwork, nervous system awareness and plant medicine. With over fifteen years of personal experience working with psilocybin truffles, she has been guiding ceremonies since 2020, including high-dose truffle ceremonies as well as mini-dosing and Yin-based ceremonies at De Nieuwe Yogaschool. Music and singing are a natural part of her work, supporting depth, presence and connection.

Marjolein facilitates monthly cacao and truffle ceremonies at De Nieuwe Yogaschool. In her monthly sessions, she weaves together Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga and ceremonial cacao to support deep states of relaxation, presence and embodied awareness. Her work is grounded, gentle and attuned, creating spaces where participants feel safe to rest, reflect and soften.

Mariken is co-founder of De Nieuwe Yogaschool and has dedicated her work to exploring how awareness, embodiment and the nervous system shape our capacity for growth and healing. Drawing from meditation, trauma-informed practice, ethics and consciousness studies, she creates spaces where depth can unfold without overwhelm.

Charlotte Simons is a medically trained physician and integrative practitioner who brings a unique bridge between Western science, holistic healing and somatic experience. After graduating as a medical doctor in 2011, she spent seven years working as a military physician, where she developed a deep understanding of how stress and physical load affect the body and nervous system. This experience led her to pursue yoga training and later integrative therapies such as acupuncture and complementary care.

Next to teaching different types of yoga, Arben facilitates transformative sound journeys that help quiet the mind and release tension from the body, creating space for inner stillness and balance to arise naturally. Within the Cacao & Microdosing Facilitator Training, Arben hosts a workshop on the magic of sound healing to support deeper transformation within a safe space.
