About Linda Nenne

my own personal & professional journey

I’m a neuro-spicy mother, medial woman, embodiment facilitator & somatic practitioner, keeper of a garden and a house, a (hedge) witch, nondual Tantrika, and channel for Toad Mother.

I work towards decolonization and collective liberation, and that begins with us decolonizing body and psyche in relationship with our environment. 

The picture of me is old.
It was taken in my garden one summer afternoon after I had taken LSD.

I love that picture because it symbolizes, in so many ways, how I live in realms in between. One half in the physical, one half in the imaginal.

(nowadays without any help of a substance - life is psychedelic enough in and of itself)

I am a bridge in between the conscious and the unconscious.
A guide in the liminal and the underworld.

In that capacity I can be with and walk with you as you explore your own inner wilderness. When you come into relationship with dark and forgotten corners, and uncover your innate gifts within.

My own journey started many years ago when I was struggling with alcohol and cocaine addiction.

After a drug induced awakening I had started to meditate and on my 28th birthday (hello Saturn return) I woke up in the morning with a clear voice inside of me saying:

”This needs to change or you will die.”

In that moment I realized two things…

✨ Something in me wanted to live. Wanted to live a full and big life. But I felt hollow, insubstantial, translucent, a ghost of a human.

✨ If I wanted to live I HAD TO DIE to be reborn.

I didn’t know what to do or where to go.

I was completely disoriented…

…that disorientation was my greatest gift, because it beckoned…no, it lovingly forced me to find my own inner knowing, my own inner compass.

This initiation brought me to come into close relationship with dark and forgotten places in the somatic unconscious.

It brought me down into the depths where I found the deep well of my own life-force energy.

It initiated an intimate relationship with the seasons of nature and the astrological seasons. To deep embodied understanding that we are nature and what is present outside also lives within.

And a personal and intimate relationship with goddess in all her forms.

Over the years I have become fluent in the language of the underworld, in the journey of transformation. Both through my practice, my work, and through coming into deep relationship with the alchemical process of growing soil in my garden.

The journey of death and rebirth is the journey of coming into deep and intimate relationship with soul, creative life force, and your own innate gifts.

It is a journey of coming to know yourself in your wholeness, where every part has its place in the beautiful and sometimes paradoxical order of things.

My work has over the years evolved from owner of a yoga studio and mentor for yoga teachers, teacher assistant to Tara Judelle & Dr. Scott Lyons, to becoming a somatic practitioner with private practice and, somatic and soul work guide for healing practitioners.

I look forward to being here with you.

About You ...

I create spaces for kindred spirits to meet and share experience.

"Kindred spirits are individuals who share a deep, intrinsic connection, often characterized by mutual understanding, empathy, and shared values or interests."

Kindred spirits in this space are healers, witches, dream weavers, artists of all sorts (secret and public), wizards, therapists, weirdos, coaches, yoga teachers, and neuro-spicy brains and nervous systems that long to belong outside the norm…

…we are souls that are here to change the status quo in big and small ways.

Everyone is welcomed here, and this place is not for everyone.

My professional journey in this field started with teaching yoga classes at different places in Mandrem, Goa in 2010-2011

When I returned home after my time in India there was nowhere for me to teach on the island where I live, Åland Islands.

At the time I worked as a waitress on a cruise ship every other week, on my weeks off I began offering classes to friends in my living room, but I longed to curate a sacred space and make this my life work.

A dream of a yoga studio started to take form.

On my walk to town I walked past an old house with a beautiful big wooden door with a 'For Rent' sign in the window. I called the owners and when I saw the space I knew this was it.

In December 2012 I opened the islands first yoga studio.

It was a success. Quickly a community formed and over the years I hired more and more teachers. By the time I made the decision to close, in 2018, we were 9 yoga teachers on schedule. And a big beautiful community.

It was both a big sadness and a big relief to close.

I felt a need to make space for something else in my life. I had started to be a teacher assistant to Tara Judelle and Dr. Scott Lyons in the Advanced Embodied Flow™ trainings, I was organizing retreats in Greece and Bali with a colleague, I was mentoring other yoga teachers, and my energy was no longer in the studio.

I closed at the end of 2018, after 6 years, and a few months later I was pregnant at 38 years old. 

Becoming a mother was a big transformation for me, because it hadn’t been something I longed for, but it was something I learnt to step into as my son Ruben was born.

I stayed at home full time with him for two years. It was the years of covid and lockdown, and when I came back to work in my business and private practice in 2022 I had changed, the world had changed, everything was different.

It was a time when I asked myself where I would be of most service with what I have to offer. In my community where I live? Or if I needed to extend my work to reach outside this island.

Today I am offering in depth containers for small groups on the island, and courses, private sessions, and programs online for facilitators and more advanced practitioners.

Together with Collette Davis and Libby Waite I am curating and facilitating the Psyche Module for Samavesa 300 hour Advanced Embodies Yoga Facilitator Training.

I am a teachers teacher, and somatic guide and mentor for healing practitioners that want to deepen into their own soul, creative life force, and genius. 

The depth of my work comes from my own death/rebirth journey.
From the initiation into motherhood, midlife transition, and my relationship with soul, nature, and the goddess.

I always return to lived experience, personal & collective, as the place where you can find the medicine you need.

No training or course could replace that, and my trainings has offered me tools of how to bridge somatics and soul work, and curate transformational containers
