The Self
Design a soulful life
in sync with your true nature
What is a Soulful Life?
A soulful life supports a deeper sense of union with the world and connects us to the sacred dimension of life. It emerges when we move beyond the boundaries of the self - when we create with love, express authentically, or give life to the mysterious force that wants to find voice through us.
​
It cannot exist on the same terms as a machine life. For this reason, living soulfully in this day and age is a revolutionary act of self-preservation and care.
In a world increasingly designed to domesticate and mechanize human experience, reconnecting with your wild, authentic self is a revolutionary act.
Through the Four Gestures of Subsiding, Reaching, Seeing and Shaping, we step into Creative Living and reconnect with what makes us deeply human. We learn to access the expansive sense of being that unfolds when we stop trying to be someone and start letting ourselves become something.

Anél Hamersma explores reconnecting with our wild, untamed selves in a world increasingly designed to domesticate and mechanize the human experience.
​
Drawing on her background in performance and her 2001 initiation as a sangoma in Botswana, she creates meaningful encounters with the Self through a variety of modalities: everything from the Japanese art of wabi sabi to indigenous practices to the Slow Movement.
Combined, they deliver an exhilarating experience - out of the constraints of urban living and back into the leafy green depths of the soul.

Based in Cape Town, Anél presents and facilitates courses, workshops and speaks on designing a more soulful life.
