In 2015, Michelle van Coeverden opened the doors of Mahara at Clercqstraat 123 in Amsterdam. She is an adventurist, a seeker for truth and a magician, who is willing to open doors and places to all that are seeking for the same:
“Mahara came to me in a vision in 2012, while I was inner travelling with the Blue Lotus. This majestic flower took me on a journey and soon after, I traveled the outer world with a backpack and my scissors.´´
​
After I came back from my pilgrimage, I knew that it was time to build a temple and a homecoming for me and my fellow travelers.” Mahara gave birth to a physical location. And the journey continued.

Mahara Amsterdam
In 2019, when the neighbors moved out, we expanded our sacred space. Next to Mahara the doors of Araham opened on number 121.
The meaning of Araham is "the art of embodiment". Perfectly aligned, Hiddenbody started to use the dojo for their school of movement.

The next adventure took Michelle back to her roots in the East of Holland. She followed again her inner calling and in 2021 she opened a new urban sanctuary in Zutphen.
