What your team will learn:

  • Deep inquiry

    Building on the work of AH Almaas, we use powerful questions to invite you to reveal yourself and to stay with this experience. To feel into the answers you give and move from the head into the whole body.

  • Non-Violent Communication

    If you can share your real need there will always be a connection. For every human has the same needs. It's only our strategies on how to get these needs met that differ. When we both show up with our true needs we can work together on a strategy that will fulfill both.

  • Body- & Breathwork

    Our whole body is a tool for communication and a source of information. When we move out of our heads we can really meet.

Case:

2 day company training with Unilever

Team size: 12 participants

“Together with our team of 12 Koen guided us through a two-day retreat.

I did not know exactly what to expect upfront and I felt a bit nervous. This disappeared quickly after meeting Koen. He brings a level of serenity in the room and is filled with calmness and openness.

Koen took us out of the rat races of our jobs and daily lives and guided us into a deeper connection with ourselves and the team. A truly transformational experience, both on a team and individual level.

As a team, we learned how to listen to understand instead of listening to react. We benefited from the power of breathwork, which brings many new insights each session. The exercises where powerful, effective and practical.

Koen perfectly tailors the program to the needs of the group. If you are open to learn and let Koen guide you, you could be up for an experience you will never forget!”

Experiences from participants:

  • This program lays a path for you, consisting of insights and perspectives

    “This program does not bring one concrete solution to a problem. It lays a path for you, consisting of insights and perspectives. It helps you understand yourself and your surroundings better which has a positive influence on how you make decisions. It can change your mindset completely to a more peaceful, truthful one.

    I liked the sharing sessions where we sat in a circle. Hearing about what people are struggling with and how they are dealing with it. In these moments I learned a lot about the team and at the same time about myself.

    — Madina, Key Account Specialist at Unilever

  • This was more in-depth than the retreats I’ve done

    “It’s hard to put it in perspective. This was more in-depth than the retreats I’ve done in the past, which also meant a whole new magnitude of learning breathwork, journaling, meditation, etc.”

    — Sonal, Unilever eCommerce team

  • more connection, tolerance and fun in our team

    “I really loved doing this program with my team. Afterwards I experienced more connection, tolerance and fun in our team. It does everyone very well to meet each other's true "selves" and not have to pretend to be someone else than you are for once. Just be real. Cultivating the courage to be authentic and vulnerable. That is really the strength of the program.”

    — Pieter Olierook, DMC Lead Nutrition EU/MET/ANZ at Unilever

  • Well-organized and powerful!

    “The most powerful experience for me where the inquiries. Speaking with others about what is on your mind helps to clear the mind and not get lost in your thoughts. Also, meditating together felt good as the room was filled with serenity and thus it becomes easier to calm your mind. People should just experience how powerful this retreat is for the mind. Well-organized! :) and powerful.”

    — Jordy, trainee Unilever

  • My self confidence has grown

    “Thank you for this experience. I've been brought a little closer to my core. I feel this path is the right one for me and I have been empowered to explore it even further. My self confidence has grown. I was able to put things in place and I discovered more to investigate further. For example, that everything has a dark and a light side. And to really let my feelings (heart and stomach) speak instead of my head. Koen, I think you are a very special, wonderful person. I am proud that you came into my life.”

    — Janneke, Digital, Media & Commerce lead Nutrition North Europe

  • We learned how to listen to understand instead of listening to react

    “As a team, we learned how to listen to understand instead of listening to react. We benefited from the power of breathwork, which brings many new insights each session. The exercises where powerful, effective and practical.

    Koen perfectly tailors the program to the needs of the group. If you are open to learn and let Koen guide you, you could be up for an experience you will never forget!

    I am very grateful that I met Koen and I have never met anyone that guided me towards so many intense emotions and insights as you did in the short two days that we were together (although it felt like a full week). Thank you so much for that.”
