What if the Northern Lights could speak?

View of the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights have inspired countless myths, legends, and stories across cultures world wide. Many believe they are connected to the Spirits of our ancestors, fallen warriors or unborn children. And many stories behold traditions of not disturbing the Northern Lights or provoking them. But can you not only provoke or disturb something if it has an awareness of itself and of you? So is it not logic, then, that the Northern Lights have a consciousness? Could that be the common truth in all these beliefs? That the Northern Lights are particles with a consciousness?

General information

Join Marieke Anna on an eventful journey through Arctic myths, stunning facts, modern science, Universal Legends and Eastern beliefs to discover for yourself if indeed the Northern Lights are aware and could, perhaps, even speak. Discover this world of wonder, magic, and interconnectedness. And experience first-hand why the Northern Lights are also seen as omens of good fortune, bearers of ancient knowlegde and bringers of prosperity.

During this storytelling evening Marieke Anna will also share with you the Wisdom she has received from the Lights as we sit around the fire, if the weather allows it. Complementary she will guide you through a custom-made shamanic journey while you lay on reindeer skins in the snow. This journey will be custom made in which you can receive answers yourself directly from the Northern Lights. Answers to your (life) questions, issues that concern you now. It’s not needed for the Northern Lights to be seen to experience this all so even on cloudy evenings this is a perfect activity to immerse yourself in and who knows, they might respond to us after all and show themselves in all their glory and illuminating presence.

    About Marieke Anna

    Marieke Anna is a Symbiotic Visioneer & co-creature with the Northern Lights.


    Welcome to my world in which all is connected. All is related and every thing communicates with one other; deeply interacts with each other and in beautiful symbiosis. Whether it’s the land, the sea, the animals, the nature spirits, the Universe or the Northern Lights. A way of living that seems magical but yet is very real and realistic. A way that was mastered by your ancestors as they were completely emerged in the circle of Life, of Nature.



    This is a way we have now mostly forgotten in our modern society. However, it is still so palpable here in the Lands under the Northern Lights, a profound liveliness that nourishes a deep and ancient part of yourself. If you can feel it. If it is calling you. If you want to reconnect with that part of yourself and reclaim your original place in nature...



    ...It would be my honor to meet you here in the Arctic North, welcome home.
