Welcome

Joia & Vida lovingly supports you on your journey towards a light and fulfilling life. In doing so, I – Petra Elberse – start from my own life lessons and experiences. For me, O calor humano (human warmth) and the connection with nature form the basis for a colourful life. I love sharing my journey with you.

The many colourful encounters and the support of my teachers on my path of development and consciousness fill me with gratitude. As do the experiences together with fellow students, yoginis and all the other people I was privileged to meet. And above all, I am grateful for the support of my family. It brought me to where I am today: feeling being enough, acceptance of what is and my inner feeling? (sense?) of peace and tranquillity. From this heart the life force energy flows and life starts to unfold in ways with more ease. I love sharing these life (insights)/experiences with you through integral yoga classes, Mayan wisdom, Soulcollage workshops and gatherings.

What makes my heart flow and what I also love to share with you is my passion for colour and creativity: bringing together beautiful ladies handbags from fine materials and accessories with an eye for detail and craftsmanship. Petronilla embodies that creativity in the form of a unique collection of colourful women’s handbags, crafted with passion and love. It reminds me of Lupitoa Nyongo’s quote:
