“Love. Strength. Meeting yourself. Letting go. Growing from here. These are just a few words that come to mind when I think back to Heal from the Heart. It's hard to put into words the incredible journey of discovery I experienced. One thing is certain; it has enriched me, even in my role as a physician.”

Our approach
Scientific foundation
This program is supported by paradigm-shifting science that often surpasses our conventional understanding, inviting you to broaden your experience of how our Universe operates.
We integrate the scientific work of three renowned pioneers: Jude Currivan (PhD), William Bengston (PhD), and Stanislav Grof (PhD) in the fields of Quantum Physics, Inner Healing Intelligence, and Information Medicine.
Embodiment
We use breath and embodiment to enhance your connection with the energetic heart. This helps make authentic perception and feeling more apparent and enables you to work with the electromagnetic field and its healing properties.
Deepening Your Self-Healing Capacity
In these knowledge and experience-oriented sessions led by Bas de Cock, the influence of trauma on the physical body, mind, and heart qualities is explored.
This offers a deeper insight into your patterns and how they contribute to maintaining symptoms. Bas provides practical tools and insights for better managing unexplained complaints in practice and, through simple exercises, you will experience where the blockages in your self-healing capacity lie.
The fundamental consciousness field plays a connecting key role in all aspects.
Holotropic breathwork
Holotropic breathwork is a powerful method for resolving emotional and physical blockages and gaining insight into your behavior patterns and thoughts.
The method contributes to authentic growth and self-awareness and has a potent Inner Healing capacity. Holotropic breathwork combines insights from modern consciousness research, depth psychology, anthropology, transpersonal psychology, and Eastern and mystical traditions.
This session will be led by Bas de Cock, trained in Holotropic breathwork.
Systemic work
Angelique van Hest further explores the spider web principle and guides you to perceive and experience what emerges through a non-dualistic lens (present and non-judgmental observation). Additionally, Angelique will introduce systemic work using family constellations. What information from the morphological field will you encounter and how can you use it?
Connect with your true nature
Melanie uses nature to help you "be" rather than "become" what you aspire to be. This approach allows you to fully experience life with your heart, body, and senses. Nature acts as both a teacher and a mirror, revealing that everything is already whole and that we are not separate from our surroundings.
