Aurélie de Schoutheete

Aurélie de Schoutheete

Aurélie is an osteopath and lives in Brussels with her two children and husband. She is also a meditation instructor and co-organizes an online meditation sangha for moms called “maman-cercle”. She has also been organizing women’s circles with her sister for the past 10 years. She is active in the eco feminist collective “Mères au Front” in Belgium.

“For me, the path of parenthood is a real spiritual path. When you become a parent, you don’t have much time to practice meditation or connect with a sangha. Yet that’s when sangha and practice are most important because you need a village and a clear mind to educate a child, that’s why Family camp is a great idea: it allows us to share with others, to take care of ourselves through practice and to show our children that it’s important to us. “
