Where art meets healing
We proudly presented this dance-theater show, exploring the authentic SELF! While our personal growth journeys have intertwined for years, this project marked our first creative business collaboration—blending art and mindfulness. This led to the birth of Dumana Arts Community
Why did I, Joy Bots, create this community?
In 2022, I started this initiative while seeking help myself, struggling with a negative outlook on life. I realized many women face similar challenges and wondered: what if we could inspire and support each other through movement, meditation, and creative expression? This idea grew into a community, and to my surprise, many people eagerly joined.
We found a beautiful space to hold sessions, and the impact has been profound—helping someone improve their relationship, encouraging a young woman to open up about addiction, and giving a singer confidence on stage. Grateful for these experiences, I decided to dedicate my future to this work.
To expand this journey, I partnered with Kelly Mos, whose energy and inspiration have been vital to my growth. Together, we’re committed to helping others explore their paths of healing and self-discovery.
Why do I, Kelly, want to continue this journey with Joy?
Growth begins within, by confronting challenges and overcoming personal blocks. In 2018, my journey of self-discovery began—a process of breaking down old patterns to build something new. Though difficult and confronting at times, it was essential for my growth. During this period, I developed tools for healing, learned the value of inner balance, and transformed into the person I am today.
This transformation inspired me to share these insights with others. My experiences and vision align perfectly with helping people unlock their potential and discover their inner strength. By empowering others, we can create a society where personal growth leads to a stronger, more connected community.

"What a great experience! A very enjoyable workshop led by two women who clearly know what they’re doing. They provide well-thought-out exercises that, among other things, push you out of your comfort zone. They also create a pleasant and safe atmosphere within the group."

What does community mean to us?
As a community, we stay actively connected through our Telegram and WhatsApp groups, where we share quotes, tools, and insights almost daily, encouraging reflection and exchange. In addition, we organize programs and workshops in the Netherlands, and offer intensive 7- or 14-day retreats in Asia. We also provide the Dumana Reflection Journal, which includes a month of journaling, philosophical questions, and writing exercises.
Honesty, equality, love, growth, authenticity, and safety are the core values of the Dumana Arts Community!
