Art, Sound & Color
Horizon is the place to grow from wonderment. Do you long for depth, to live your life in a renewed meaningful way, living in harmony with yourself and others? Make the magical journey inward through Art, Sound & Color. Back to the Source!
“Let your passion and your compassion be your compass in this journey to yourself.”
Marianne Baan
As a little girl I grew up in an American boarding school, in the middle of the Himalayas. Immersed in a multicultural environment with many religions and spiritual traditions and being far away from my home made me realize at a young age that a safe and warm home is not so self-evident.
Feelings of homesickness arose regularly. Fortunately I found a harbour of comfort and security in the overwhelming nature of the Himalayas. Here their magical silence and serenity - still etched in my memory - prevailed and merged with my Source.
It is within this very same silence - the Source - where my poems and paintings are born. In recent years I have experienced first-hand how Art, Sound & Color can play a valuable role in exploring and discovering the deeper layers within myself. My own endless search within, shows me the way out again and again.
From this personal experience my passion arose to be of guidance to people on their inward journey towards an ever-growing consciousness.
Core from which I work
At Horizon, the word 'Together' is important. I have experienced that you really need other people on this magical journey. They are the ones who can shine a light on your shadow sides and it is these shadow sides that we may bring to the light. We celebrate 'Coming Home' together, because shadow exists by the grace of light and, as far as I am concerned, belong inextricably together.
What can I do for you?

Holistic Counseling
Back to the Source
At Horizon you will be invited to recognize and break through your old, non-serving patterns. We make space for what presents itself for you on this journey, to let go, to go deeper and to reconnect with your inner being. An internal callibration and alignment to the soul.
I work from the conviction that deep down everyone knows exactly what is needed to regain the self-healing capacity of body, mind and soul. Let's explore together what exactly is holding you back and take the next step in your personal growth and awareness. Use your passion as a compass for the journey within - back to your true self!
I use sounds, images and words, among other things, which all create different frequencies and resonances. These set your energy points in motion, which enables you to find your flow and feel powerful again.
"Energy moves in waves, waves move in patterns, patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that; energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance."

Individual Masterclass
Painting with Heart and Soul
In this Masterclass I invite you to open the mind and heart and invite the magic of what resides in your heart and soul come to expression from your Source.
The first step is a moment of reflection and from this inner silence you will hear which colors want to be heard. Use all your senses with heart and soul and let yourself be amazed by what arises from the connection with your Source - the unknown that is already known to you. Were the inspiration flows like a river, that feeds the soul and lights the way through the unknown.
We will search for your own soul stories that may arise through this interactive way of working. We will work at your own familiar location, in the space where you always paint, with your own familiar material.
After my book 'LOTUS with heart and soul' was published, I was regularly asked for a workshop to learn to paint a bit looser, a bit more intuitively from heart and soul. With this Masterclass I gladly respond to that!

Book 'LOTUS with heart and soul'
By Marianne Baan
In October 2023 my book 'LOTUS with heart and soul' was published by Uitgeverij Lecturis. Nowadays you can also find it at Boekhandel van Piere in Eindhoven and borrow it from the Library. I proudly present you my book!
LOTUS is a book with 60 paintings and 60 poems. The soul stories in the form of text and image, both stem from the same Source. They speak a universal language and invite reflection.
The ommision of any punctuation slows down the poems and, in combination with the image, can reach deep into the subconscious.
The creation of color, material and subject is only a partly controlled process and above all a magical journey to my own subconscious. At the same time I hope to make a connection with the readers' consciousness.
Experience how these stories in word and image deeply meet with your heart and soul. From the bottom of my heart I wish you a wonderful and magical journey.

Testimonials
"The first time I opened Lotus it was clear to me: this is not just a book but a real experience. The frequencies of colour and word touch me in 'heart and soul' - as the cover also promises. Every page lets me get lost in my soul and brings me to the essence of feeling. An experience that is highly recommended!"
Renske
"LOTUS is a creative, colorful and meaningful journey. It is an enrichment of my Being. Recognition of my feelings and thoughts. Marianne's book lets me travel to known and unknown places in my soul. Thank you for this bouquet of emotions."

Peter
"Every page is touching. You open the book and you receive what you need to hear. Everyone I have given the book to is amazed at the serenity and wholeness."
Els
"Marianne, I would like to let you know that the impact you have had on me and my life is enormous. And that I am still grateful to you for the wonderful time we had together and however short it was, I learned an unimaginable amount from you. I ended up in a better place than I could have imagined at the time."
Marloes
"Marianne’s unique approach to coaching and counseling has had a lasting impact on me, both professionally and personally. One of the most powerful lessons she taught me was the value of truly listening. So often, we focus on what we want to say, forgetting to actually hear what's being said. Her guidance was not only insightful but transformative, and I’m deeply grateful for the growth her support enabled to me."
Martin
"Complementary color explosion; unique expressionism."
Caroline
"Marianne really makes you think and her questions help you to step outside your usual patterns and paths. This has allowed me to discover deeper layers within myself. A session usually has a long-lasting effect and insights can therefore also surface later, also depending on how much energy I have been able to put into my own learning process."
Bernadette
"Marianne really helped me decisively on my leadership journey."
Boyan
"Marianne, a strong co-driver for change and results. She combines head and heart with a genuine interest in people. I appreciated her open personal feedback and coaching."
