hortari (lat., verb) :
to gently encourage growth, expression, or exploration.
Welcome!
Hey you, I'm so glad to meet you!
Welcome to Hortari.
A simple, living, and warm space — rooted in Amsterdam — where you’re invited to slow down, breathe, create… and simply be.
Whether you’re in transition, in question, or simply longing for a little more softness in your life...
You are in the right place.
Here, there’s nothing to prove.
Just space to land, as you are, with your rhythm, your story, your sensitivity.
My mission
With Hortari, I want to offer gentle, honest ways to explore, feel, and reconnect with your inner ecology.
🧘♀️ Through yoga and mindful movement,
🌿 Through walks in nature and silent immersions,
🎨 Through creative expression and art therapy,
🪶 Through circles of listening, learning, and inner ecology
My mission isn’t to guide you toward a perfect version of yourself,
but to walk beside you, with presence and respect,
as you meet what’s already within.
Like Coldplay says in their song: "you’re a sky full of stars".
And all you need… is to start creating your own constellation.
Sometimes, it just takes a breath, a pause, a safe space
to begin tracing that path within you.
If these words plant a seed in you,
maybe it’s time to let it grow.
Why Hortari exists?
Little anecdote: this is the song that inspired the name!
Hortari was born from an inner fire.
From a buildup. From a deep need to reconnect with my body, with nature, with what truly matters.
Like many, I’ve known doubt, exhaustion, and loss of meaning. I’ve carried old wounds, limiting beliefs, and constant restlessness.
But through yoga, breath, silence, and creation… I’ve found keys.
Not to avoid discomfort, but to meet it differently.
Not to become someone else, but to return to myself.
My name is Emma, and I created Hortari as both a shelter and a compass: a space shaped by my own healing, to help you reconnect with your spark, your "why", your sense of wonder.
There is much to come... so stay tuned!
