From Comparing to Caring
own and appreciate your own body
What do you see when you look into the mirror? ls a loving and kind person looking back at you or do you only see what is not there: your legs are not thin enough or long enough, your skin is starting to age, your hair is not long enough, curly enough or straight enough, etc. etc. The list is endless. With those observations come feelings of unworthiness, shyness, blame and shame. Everybody around you seems to have what you lack.
As a result you cover yourself up or wear 'favourable' clothes instead of the clothes that you adore. Maybe you become obsessed with food and exercise, counting calories, steps and ways of transport. Unawares you might even withdraw from life, not doing the things that you love to do.
In this online workshop you will go on a gentle journey within, looking at the thoughts, discussions and beliefs that are filling your head. With the help of The Work of Byron Katie you learn how to stop comparing your own body and reclaim the beauty and love for yourself. With that, your body will become your loyal companion again.

From Fighting to Forgiving
making your relationships more loving
How often are you distracted or lying awake in bed because you had a fight with someone? It interferes with your life and takes your attention hostage. “He does not listen …, she should not have done that …, I can’t believe they …” Your thoughts run wild and the story keeps growing on you. Even when these people are not around you, they are in your mind and mess with your peace ….
The way we normally deal with these differences of opinion is by pushing back harder, explaining ourselves ever clearer and finding all kinds of reasons why we are right and the other is wrong. Sounds familiar? Wouldn't it be wonderful to find another way? To meet the other from a place of love and kindness?
In this online workshop you will go on a gentle journey within, looking at the thoughts, discussions and beliefs that are filling your head. With the help of The Work of Byron Katie you learn how to find peace of mind and feel connected to the people around you again. With that, the joy of partnership finds a new place in your heart.

Lost and Confused
where do I go from here?
There are many situations in life that can throw us off course: the changing world around us due to the pandemic, a divorce, loss of your job, the need to work again after being without a job for many years, getting sick or having money problems that change everything. It might also be that you are living your life and now you enter a new life stage where you want to change something and you wonder what your true passion would be, but you can't find it.
At these crossroads in your life you often feel lost and confused, and just need some direction on how to take the next step or reconnect with your inner motivation and drive. You have developed a tunnel view of your life and don't see all the options that are available to you.
In this online workshop you will look at what is holding you back and what wisdom of yours can guide you back into a life you love. We will share worksheets, processes and work with you directly so you can understand and connect with yourself on a whole new level! With that, you will move forward with confidence and clarity.
