About Naomi&David
Naomi and David were married and handfasted in 2022. They met during their training in Northwest European Shamanism back in 2017.
They have followed several trainings and will continue to do so in order to develop themselves and to continue to improve their offerings in the Sittan tradition.
Mirkrida Sittan&Animism works with several core values:
- We will support you on your path but you will have to take all of the steps yourself
- We do not accept any form of hate, intolerance or exclusion. All are welcome in the Sittan tradition, unless they behave in a way that brings damage to others, themselves or the tradition
- The worlds are ensouled, and everything in it deserves our honest attention and respect
- Personal experiences with trance journeying are the key concept of practicing Sittan. We take your experiences seriously and will help you to work in a grounded way, with a clear goal in mind
- There is always space to grow
Naomi
Naomi was born and raised in Zwolle, The Netherlands. Coming from a mixed Dutch/German family, Naomi grew up with several customs. As a young child she had several experiences with spirits and could see the energyfields of the people around her. Growing up, she found her own ways of dealing with this, but her path was one of solitude for the whole duration of her childhood. As a young woman she found her way back to the Sittan tradition through Shamanism and Seidr, and she is here to offer Sittan to more people, in order to help them find their way back to their own traditions.
