Dear Friends,
With the upcoming in mind, I feel so much gratitude for all who are helping people reconnect with themselves and with the planet through the beautifully nourishing, connective and transformative practice of EcoNIDRA™! We already have teachers all around the world and many more to be certified soon.

Therefore, I'd like to invite you for a Free open Q&A session on Friday October 20th, 2023 at 5:30 pm Amsterdam | 4:30 pm UK | 8:30 am PST | 11:30 am EST.

You are welcome to join and bring any questions you might hold about the completely self-paced Certified EcoNIDRA™ Teacher training and EcoNIDRA™ itself.

Based on your questions, we can have a conversation about:

*What you'll receive with the training,

I asked my EcoNIDRA teachers (aka Dragonflies ツ) to help me formulate EcoNIDRA's official mission statement, according to both their own experience with the practice, and their participants' experience.

As it turns out, EcoNIDRA really offers a variety of things to different people at different times. It is not easy to formulate one short mission statement that says it all, without prescribing an outcome or set expectations en thus limiting its potential. The practice, like nature, seems to offer each person what they need at any particular moment when they lay down to practice.

And so, we defined three possible mission statements that are all equally true:

#1 EcoNIDRA helps reconnect us with nature and ourselves, freeing up vital energy for what we were born to do, and to be.

#2 EcoNIDRA offers a deep relaxation, enabling us to reconnect with the nature that is both in and around us.

#3 EcoNIDRA offers deep relaxation and connection to nature and self, creating an embodied pathway for tapping into one’s life path, vital energy and wholeness.

A deep bow of gratitude to all Dragonflies, and all the participants in their programs who informed us about the effects the practice had on them!

Dear friends,

The story with and that I'm sharing with you in this video illustrates how something very beautiful can arise from something very challenging. Bad or good, hard to say... You can watch the full story via link in bio.

Just like the metamorphosis of a , we sometimes need to wait in the mud to one day, from an inner impulse, crawl out of it and see that in the meantime, we have grown these beautiful wings that will set us free.

We're all flying each other home. 🤗

Earth Day Invitation # 3: Listening with your whole body & Deep listening in our daily life. Full video invitation on Youtube, link in bio! 🌍💚

This is the third one of a series of nature-based relaxing invitations to reconnect with the nature that we are, with our heart and with mother Earth. 🌍

You can do this out in nature, or at home. Regardless of if you are indoors or outdoors, please do this invitation somewhere where you'll have some privacy - find a spot where you can be alone and feel safe, or close the doors and switch off any sound notifications. Earbuds will provide you with better sound quality, make sure the sound volume is just right for you.

You'll be invited to find a place in nature or indoors where you'll have some privacy, and sit, stand or lay down. At this time, we will explore our sense of hearing, and what it is like to be listening with your full body. What are you noticing? As an extension of the deep body listening, you'll be invited to practice deep listening with people in your daily life.

If you'd like to connect in real time, feel the aliveness of (your inner) nature, relax even deeper and be able to hear what your subconscious and your heart have to say once you relax your thinking mind, join me for a free online EcoNIDRA session on April 5th (in Dutch) or April 19th (in English)! Save your spot via link under the Youtube video, or DM me to invite you!

The Art of Non-Doing, also known as Wu-Wei, the Art of Effortless Living or Subtle Action is an absolutely delicious and magical approach to life and work, very different from what we've known as normal in the modern world.

Why the Art of Non-Doing is Different than Doing Nothing (Full video on Youtube, link in bio). In this short video, I'm reflecting on the benefits of this approach to life, and why the Art of Non-Doing is a different thing than doing nothing, or being passive.

May we have the courage to trust. A step back is usually a step forward. 💚

It's Wednesday night around midnight, and I'm sitting at the bed of my 1.5 years old. Full video on Youtube (link in bio!)

Is the I'm describing something that you recognize as a coach, therapist, helping professional, as a parent or someone who takes care of others? Then you're welcome to join my free online session called Learn Nature-Based Relaxation Tools for your Clients and for Yourself on May 9th (link under the Youtube video)

It's an experiential and informative session about the easy and well accessible nature-based relaxation tools and practices that you can use for your clients as a helping professional, and for yourself and your own well-being.

Using the nature-based tools and practices that I'll share with you will not only help your clients receive your work on a much deeper level. They will also have a greater capacity for self-reflection and experience the spaciousness to implement any necessary changes into their life faster, from a place beyond cognition. The seeds of your work with them will start growing in a more profound way. Your clients will feel more connected with themselves and with the greater whole of nature, and your work with them will be perceived as not only even more effective but also extremely enjoyable.

The same tools you can use for yourself to experience more work-life balance, to also receive as you're giving

Including nature as an active parter for our work as a helping professional is not just about taking our clients outdoors. The skills that I can teach you will help you and your clients slow down their brain waves and become more receptive to both nature's and your help and wisdom.

Vorig jaar zijn twee prachtige groepen afgestudeerd als EcoNIDRA teachers. De herinnering van onze lesdagen blijft opgeslagen in mijn hart als een van de fijnste dagen van het afgelopen jaar! Dagen van heerlijk diepe en verbinding met de en met elkaar. Dagen van wederzijdse en het ervaren hoe echte rust en verbinding je leven en werk kan transformeren.

💚 Verbinding met mensen die absoluut gelijkgestemd zijn en met wie je weinig woorden nodig hebt om diepe vriendschap te voelen. Een proces van persoonlijke bevrijding en door rust en diepgaande met de natuur. De kracht van eenvoud durven omarmen.

🌍 Inmiddels zijn er 37 Nederlandstalige EcoNIDRA™ teachers en ruim 170 EcoNIDRA teachers wereldwijd! De EcoNIDRA beweging groeit organisch en stiekem ontstaan er al trainingen in verschillende wereldtalen! In 2025 komen er weer twee nieuwe groepen Nederlandstalige EcoNIDRA teachers bij.

🌲 Wil je zelf ervaren wat met je doet en antwoorden krijgen op jouw vragen over de opleiding? Dan kun je je aanmelden voor mijn (Kat) online sessie Info & Zelf Ervaren: EcoNIDRA Teacher opleiding 2025 op 23 januari (zie link in bio). Kan je er niet bij zijn om de 23e? Meld je dan toch aan en ik zorg ervoor dat je alsnog een opname ontvangt zodat je de sessie in je eigen tijd kan doen.

Samen met mijn co-trainers Margriet en .beekelaar en een aantal fantastische gastdocenten kunnen we niet wachten om je te ontmoeten, in en met de natuur!

PS: Dit filmpje is in het Engels maar de bovengenoemde sessie geef ik in het Nederlands! 💚

En ondertussen ruimt deze driejarige al één jaar lang in het park voor ons huis in 's-Hertogenbosch. Door het gebruik van de grijper voor het oprapen van zelfs de kleinste peuken is zijn fijne motoriek zodanig verbeterd dat hij thuis grote puzzels met maar liefst 80 deeltjes kan doen - iets wat ik een kind van zijn leeftijd nog nooit heb zien doen.

Enorm trots op ons manneke en ! 💚
