I am Anne Marije. Together with my family, I live in the south-west coast of Portugal. We bought our own piece of paradise there, where we spend our days, and grow ourselfes and let things grow. We live in the middle of nature and close by a bunch of amazing people. It’s an abundance of silence, sun and the softness of Portugal.
On our land I have created my own studio where i give ceramic classes – Claygroyund -, I offerr masaage and I am a chef. I had my own catering company for 10 years in Holland, and I followd several cooking schools, from the Bakery institute till VIP health and nutrition, chefs school. At the moment I cook for retreats in Portugal and Holland. Hereby I feel that everything comes together what i love, because it’s a couple of days to really connect with the group, with warmth and love, and i can nurture them with the medicine of the food!
For my family i cook with what the garden and the seassons offer.
We open our land to others through our belltents, a quiet place to pause, to breathe, and to reconnect with nature.
My days unfold through clay, scent, color and care. Whatever I create- in the kitchen, the garden, via massage and in the clay- is guided by the same intention, create Art from the heart via my hands.
