This journey felt like entering a space - open, soft & alive - where i could simply be. No fixing, no pushing, no pretending. Just room to explore, feel, and remember what's already within me. 

Each time we meet was a return to presence. Honest, human, real. Nothing was forced. Karlijn moved with the natural rhythm, sensing what wanted to emerge. Her questions were deep, precise, and intuitive. Inviting insights that openend something true in me. 

There was space for dept and for laughter. For not knowing. For tenderness and truth in equal measure. The creative invitations between sessions weren't tasks, but gentle nudges. Curious openings that reminded me who i am in essence. How i love & move in what resonates for me. 

For me, it was living, breathing process of coming home to myself.

With explore, Connect, Create, Karlijn makes room for discovery and (re)learning to connect with your own nature and your environment. It has brought me back to myself faster than expected due to the structure and type of assignments that are very practical and feasible. Which made it easier and more playful to make contact with my environment. From spending a certain amount of time outside every day, to assignments that invite creativity and creation. There is no striving for perfection, which gave me the space to go into depth.

A stillness arose, which allowed me to get close to my body and feelings. This allowed me to hear  my body speak and understand it again. Where I often tend to shoot in my head in the speed of the world we live in, these moments have given me anchors that I can throw out daily to stay connected. I can maintain this connection now, so much more flows in creativity, making choices that fit my life path, taking better care of myself and my body, consuming more conscious food and making time to be. Back to my inner compass, which works together with nature around me and that is how I want to move through life. Thank you, Karlijn!

Karlijn has shown me it's about moving through hardship with an open heart. Karlijn guides you through this process with lightness, humor and without judgment. She's been there. She transfomed it. 

Personally it has show me that pain from the past can be healed and transformed if you look at it from a perspective of nature. Soften. Cry if you want to. Everthing changes all the time. There is magic all around us, always. 

It's also about the difference between the stories you tell youself and the stories that want to move throuhg you if you listen very closely. This is the direction to take, every time you seem to be getting lost. The road is windy bit there will be something new around the every corner you turn, storms will pass. This takes practice every day. 

I've found it very uplifting to connect. I've laughed so many times! This meetings place is a very safe space.

I found the sessions to be truly special. I already felt deeply connected to nature, but my reason for joining was to become more conscious of that connection, to better understand it, and to find the right words to express it. 

During the online sessions filled with sharing and inspiration, I felt guided into a magical sensitivity to nature. Thanks to Karlijn’s feedback and insight, I was able to allow my vague perception to take shape, things I previously dismissed as fleeting impressions or ignored while walking in my garden. Looking back, I can now see how much more I noticed. 

Karlijn’s guidance enabled me to connect with natural world in a deeper more profound way. I believe this is largely because of what she tuned into and reflected back. Her rich experiences resonated deeply and gave me the courage to open up. Through simple yet effective assignments, she opened the door to a richer experience of nature. A new brilliance seemed to surround all the nature around me. 

Honestly, I wish everyone could experience this. It makes us more curious, kinder, and happier and nature benefits too.

Connect, Explore, Create is a program where you learn to look at yourself in a new way with and in nature. You really go on a journey of discovery and connect with Mother Earth (for me this is everything that lives and grows). You get to know yourself in a diffrent way. . The invitations you receive are playful and give you a considerable depth in your daily life. This will continue to have an effect for a while after the journey was completed.

Connect, explore and creating. Those were the words that resonated with me when i joined. It became a journey of self-discovery, a deep connection with nature, and at times, a confrontation with myself. 

Through a series of sessions, Karlijn invites you to explore nature from your own essence. What does it have to tell you? What wants to reveal itself? The connections unfolded on many layers. Above all, this led to a profound sense of gratitude for the natural world around us, with it's endless wisdom and beauty to share.

Karlijn is kind, compassionate, experienced and devoted. I received wonderful invitations to connect with the many different aspects of nature, which are present in us, from the silence, the fire, the water and our deep roots and high branches. It was liberating and grounding at the same time. I highly recommend it for anybody who wants to shift their focus and explore new directions!
