I am a Sociologist and Deep Ecologist and inspired by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh. Nature is my wisdomkeeper, medicine, solace and companion. I worked in environmental rehabilitation and wildlife protection in nature reserves in Indonesia and Peru and am involved in nature awareness education in The Netherlands. I dedicate myself to the healing of the connection between humanity and all beings. In 2015 I completed the facilitators training with Joanna Macy. I am delighted to be available to facilitate workshops in The Work That Reconnects. You can contact me at [email protected]

Why I am called to facilitate the Work
I facilitate this work because it works for me. TWTR brings me closer to who I am, to my fellow human beings and to life itself. I am a sociologist and when I found this work, I was seeking tools to be better equipped to work with groups and combine both my sociological and environmental work.
How I see the Work serving the Great Turning
Before TWTR came in my life I have been mainly active in academia and nature reserves. You could say two steps of the Great Turning: the changing actions and holding actions. What was harder to do was to support the changes in our identity and consciousness, to internalize deep ecology, deep time. And when I read Joanna Macy’s work it gave me a solid method to help people with this inner change . The Great Turning needs all three.
Audiences I work with
Audiences I work with are people from all walks of life: policymakers, Buddhists, teachers, artists, activists, scientists, mothers and fathers, grandparents & students and children. Not a specific group. My groups are often mixed and I facilitate both in English and Dutch.
