Every month, from full moon to full moon, Tilburg Ambassador of the Arts Zeus Hoenderop invites one of thirteen women to support him. He calls them his Moon Scouts. Together they promote the arts, the city and their respective messages.
Last friday at Kunstpodium T – a local art studio and home of the ambassador – the baton was handed to Cheta Urmila.

Moon Scout May Cheta Urmila, number nine in the series, supports the ambassador from May 28th till June 26th. This moon’s theme is “eXperiencing feminine energy”.
Cheta’s Discovery
Everyone has their own unique balance between masculine and feminine energy. In our western society It is clearly noticeable that this balance has become disturbed. Many people seem only to be occupied with taking action, with working hard and making money. There is hardly any time in our tight schedules to really enjoy something. We simply keep on running.
Many years ago, Cheta Urmila life looked like this as well and it destroyed her health. Searching for answers, she sold all her belongings and started out on a journey of discovery. Much to her surprise she stumbled upon a inner strength that allowed her to let go of her exaggerated need of control: the feminine energy. Cheta Urmila gladly invites women to enrich their lives in this manner too.
As soon as you say “feminine energy” though, you often end up in clichés and stereotypes, Cheta has found. ‘That is why femaleXperience is geared towards personal eXperience. We can talk for hours about how things will feel, you’ll only know once you have experienced it for yourself.’
Step in the World that is known as ‘eXperience’
Her own life has taught Cheta Urmila that ‘always taking action’ – a quality of the masculine energy – only goes so far. Cheta Urmila: ‘I hear lots of women complain about something missing from their lives. Usually they”ll say that there is no balance. With constant ‘acting and doing’ there seems to be no room for ‘being’ anymore.
The way back starts with eXperiencing your own core. That may sound like a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be: looking at your house or your neighbourhood as if you had just moved there yesterday for instance, already gives a new perspective’.
‘At first I refused to accept it’, Cheta Urmila explains. ‘I was afraid to lose my identity as an independent woman. Hence the control. What is so special about this is that I haven’t lost anything. On the contrary, I have gained so much! Sometimes I even feel like I am more independent than before. Working from my feminine core is more fun and also more fulfilling. I wish this for everyone!’
For men, her message is clear too: eXperience the beauty of a woman who is living from her core.

eXperience it yourself!
Cheta Urmila has decided to give away three “eXperiences” for free during this Moon Scout project:
1) a Silk-meditation, for which she uses soft silk from India;
2) a Tarot-reading, centered around your own problem solving capacity;
3) an eMMatrix-session, eXperience your balance through conversation.
All you have to do to win is answer this question:
What does “eXperience” mean to me?
You can apply till June 9th 2010. The winners will be notified through the email address supplied with the answer and the result will be published on NL.femaleXperience.com.
The Silk meditation will be held in Tilburg, the Netherlands between June 23-26 2010, the other two in Tilburg, the Netherlands, yet these are just as good an eXperience over Skype.
