HIGHWAY TO HEART

A Free 3-Day Video Initiation into Heart-Led Leadership

This initiation reconnects you to the wisdom of your heart—so your life, choices, and leadership arise from truth rather than survival.

Does This Feel Familiar?

You know there is more available to you, but something keeps pulling you back into old patterns. You’re sensitive, intuitive, and self‑aware. You feel called to finally break the pattern and take ownership over your life, work and experience. You are ready to leave the past behind and create the vibrant future you are longing for.

Maybe you already have experience with inner work practices, and while those gave you more insight in your situation, it did not bring the embodiment you are looking for. No matter how much mindset work, affirmations, vision boards, “how to” video’s you do, you fail to feel the safety, clarity and trust that you are looking for.

That’s because a better understanding of your problem is not what you need.

What you need is to get your nervous system out of survival mode, this shows up as:

  • Living in your head, constantly overthinking and second‑guessing yourself;

  • Making decisions from fear, urgency, or the need to please others;

  • Feeling disconnected from your body, intuition, and emotional truth;

  • Leading from responsibility rather than devotion;

  • Carrying a quiet exhaustion from holding it all together;

  • Sensing that your heart wants to lead, but not knowing how to trust it?

Beneath the stress, confusion, or numbness… there is a deeper desire calling you.

You long to:

  • Feel safe inside your body

  • Trust your inner guidance without needing external validation

  • Lead your life from love instead of fear

  • Feel emotionally open, grounded, and present

  • Move with clarity—even in uncertainty

  • Live and lead from your heart without burning out

You’re not looking for another strategy.

You’re longing for embodied truth.

You already might have tried some therapies, mindfulness work or coaching, … And even though it helps you understand your situation, it doesn’t seem to help.

It’s not that you’re broken… or that you’re doing something wrong.

But no matter what you try, you stay stuck in…

  • A nervous system conditioned to prioritize safety over truth

  • Old emotional patterns stored in the body

  • Disconnection from the heart due to past experiences or trauma

  • Living from learned survival identities instead of authentic self

  • Trying to lead from the mind without the body’s consent

Until the body feels safe, the heart can’t fully open.

And until the heart is open, leadership feels heavy, forced, or performative.

That’s why I created Highway to Heart

Instead of telling you what to think or do, this 3-day video initiation guides your body and nervous system into a new baseline, where heart‑led living becomes natural.

Highway to Heart is a gentle yet powerful initiation designed to bring you home to your body, your heart, and your inner authority.

Over three days, you’ll be guided through embodiment practices and meditations that help you towards:

  • A deeper sense of calm and grounded presence

  • Clearer inner guidance and intuitive knowing

  • Less emotional reactivity

  • Greater trust in your decisions

  • A felt connection to your heart and body

  • A new relationship with leadership, rooted in love, not pressure

    This is the beginning of a new way of being.

    A return to heart.

The work

    • Ground your nervous system

    • Release chronic tension and vigilance

    • Establish a felt sense of safety in the body

    You’ll begin to shift from reacting to receiving.

    • Connect with your flow state

    • Dissolve emotional armoring

    • Follow your excitement

    You’ll feel more present, open, and emotionally available—to yourself and others.

    • Turn ideas into inspired action

    • Practice leading from devotion instead of fear

    Dorien calls herself an activist for a better world, by using her experience in teaching yoga, tantra, meditation and mindfulness to help people love and accept every part of themselves, also the parts we repress and hide away. Because self-love is at the base of developing healthy relationships, mental clarity and life purpose.

    Since 16 years old, Dorien is on a quest to better understand her own challenging life situation, self-sabotaging patterns and what healthy relationships and communication looks like. This lead her to studying pedagogical sciences, psychology and eventually to the path of yoga, tantra and meditation - which really filled the gaps she was looking for.

    Her holistic knowledge background, allows Dorien to combine both the Western and Eastern point of views in her coaching, retreats, workshops and classes.
