My name is Ganga Ma.

​

I have been drawn to the spiritual traditions of India since my early teens. Now, at 45 years old and after a deep immersion in the teachings and practice, I am discovering my own authentic ways of expressing the mystery of the unconditional fulfilment that is available to us right here in the simplicity of this moment.

 

To me, the invitation is always the same, whether I practice asana, sing kirtan or meet you in retreat or a coaching session: I feel the call to surrender to what is here in this moment and return to the effortless, completely natural flow.

​

​​A yearning to keep deepening and maturing my own experience brings me to Rishikesh and Tiruvanamalai in India often. Here I find inspiration in the wisdom and presence of my teacher, ancient spiritual traditions and pilgrim places.​​​

Inspiration

 

​

I feel deep gratitude for Swami Atmananda Udasin. Bathing in his deep wisdom, love, devotion, knowledge and laughter for many years changed my live in indescribable ways. His very clear non-dual teachings are so warm and filled with loving devotion.

 

As a woman I also feel inspired by female teachers and spiritual friends such as the Indian saint Anandamayi Ma, buddhist nun Tenzin Palmo, Tao Master Karine Martin. 

 

​My work is influenced by traditional non-dual teachings (advaita) and the path of bhakti yoga and kashmir yoga.

​

I love studying traditional scriptures during satsang with Swamiji and to visit the samadhi and ashram of Sri Anandamayi Ma, an extraordinary Indian Saint.​​​​​​​​

At the moment I am based in Zutphen, a small historical city in the Netherlands.

I live near the beautiful river that has been part of my life since birth. In the winter months I travel to India which feels like home to me. I love walks through the countryside, building campfires and to get messy in my kitchen garden. I love being around children and I used to be a Waldorf teacher.

​

My vision is to create a small and simple sanctuary in nature where guests can come for some time to practice and be in solitary retreat.

​

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like to work together or have any questions about my offerings.

Testimonial

​

Ganga Ma's presence itself is a reason to attend a workshop, kirtan or meditation with her. With some people you just feel a sense of peace in their energy, and I feel this in her. In this way she makes an impression and it helps me to come in a deep staat of meditation more easily.

She is always happy to share stories through which she shares her knowledge and experiences.

I already look forward to our next meeting that will will me plenty of inspiration, knowledge and peace.
