Only 12 leaders will walk this elemental journey together.
We’re honored to walk with you.
Introducing the Elemental Wheel
The Elemental Wheel cycles through four elements: Water → Fire → Earth → Air. You start with one element, fully engage, then move on once you embody its wisdom.
All four elements are needed to lead fully. Now is the time to gather.
Water is not a resource.
She is a relative. A consciousness. A home.
— Mo, founder Born From Water
Meet Your Guides
Moniek van Erven (Founder of Born From Water)
Ocean Lover · Ceremonialist · Freediver · Water therapist · Spiritual Mentor
Mo guides you and walks beside you. From a place of deep listening, lived experience, and her devotion to Water as teacher and healer. She’s hosting retreats and ceremonies across the globe. Her guidance is intuitive, grounded, and rooted in love.
Mo’s path began over two decades ago in meditation and six years ago with sacred medicine work, and it was Water that truly transformed her. Through oceans, cenotes, and tears, water softened her armor, healed her nervous system, and returned her to feeling.
She founded Oyasin, a global sanctuary for healing, guiding retreats and ceremonies across the world for leaders to help them to return to the body, the earth, the heart.
Her guidance is intuitive and loving, rooted in lived experience and years of walking with Indigenous elders, sacred medicines, and the water itself. She doesn’t teach from a method, she listens, feels, and lets the water lead.
Water is her teacher.
And so, she guides like water.
Indigenous Wisdom Keepers
You’ll sit in ceremony with elders and medicine carriers from Nahuatl, Quechua, K’iche’ and other lineages. They don’t just teach, they transmit. Their presence awakens our memory through ancestral ritual and prayer.
