My name is Felice Derkinderen and I’ll show you who you are. How beautiful, good, and whole you are. And that you matter.
your own path
My receptive view brings me unusual insights - often hidden beneath the surface - which make me more and more aware of what it means to be human. The creative imagination is the field where I feel at home. As an artist and during my work as a professional photographer I became fascinated by the remarkable encounters I had, and by the process of creating an image of an essential part of a person’s personality. This led me to wanting to delve deeper into the human psyche and to look for methods that would make this possible.
The intensive study and practice of wisdom traditions offered indicators and tools on a path that led inward. My quest was often colored by resistance. By experiencing where it was not for me, I found where I needed to go. But I also gradually discovered that it was often the other way around. That when I felt resistance, I had to move towards it to find what lay behind it. For example, parts of myself that I had excluded. A beautiful paradox.
It is this dance with polarities - which are not opposites, but parts that complement each other - that I prefer to embody in my guidance. Lively and with softness, serving your process. For me, this provides the opportunity to make the naked truth visible, which liberatingly shows who you really are. Because only your inner truth provides a reliable compass to navigate with. A beaten path is someone else's path.

knowledge and love
The Tarot has made my life richer and deeper, and I have come to love the psychology and mythology hidden within its images. I have found it to be an ingenious system for reflecting on life. An inspirational, powerful, and enlightening resource for gaining insight into inner processes. It is a privilege to be able to help others use this resource to facilitate their own development.
This knowledge and love, along with twenty-five years of study and personal experience with Eastern and Western wisdom traditions, come together in the group trainings and individual guidance that I offer, and in the articles that I write. I regularly work both for and with professionals from related disciplines. My inquisitive mind is balanced by a rich imagination and a well-developed intuition. Therefore my guidance can take you both outside the logical frameworks and anchore you in reality.
