- The first Healing Grounds is in the making – With this blog I hope to inspire other visionaries to just do it“A dream can’t fail” Isabella Brouwer I have been trying to pinpoint the moment when I stopped dreaming, thinking, writing and talking about Healing Grounds and started doing. Surely the call from Sanne Kok, founder of Campus Zonnestraal, on February 2nd 2024 has been a key turning point. She invited me to bring the Healing …
- Rethinking Prosperity, Happiness, and how to stay within planetary boundariesOver the past century, especially in the West, humanity has gained wealth and prosperity at the expense of the Earth. We’ve exceeded planetary boundaries for our own gain. Although this isn’t sustainable in the long run, it’s challenging to let go of the material wealth, luxurious goods, and travels we now enjoy. The majority of …

- Are we Healers? Or Healing Coaches?I’m wondering whether those who help individuals with vague, non-specific complaints are actively healing them or simply guiding them towards self-healing. Even in cases of a broken bone, healers don’t introduce new bone cells; they stabilize the bone by casting it, sometimes even operating and using screws and bolts, but the body itself handles the …
- Living a sustainable life is costly… and worth itWe have gone beyond the point of no return in living a more sustainable life. Not there yet by far, just booked a plane ticket to see my bff in Canada coming Feb, but inconsistently living more within our planetary limits. And this is costly, not just in terms of money, but let’s be fair …

- Turning a negative into motivationLast Wednesday marked the election day in the Netherlands, where we cast our votes for the parliamentary candidates. My choice was in favor of the most progressive green party we have, the ‘Animals Party’ (Partij voor de Dieren in Dutch). I have been actively supporting this political party, a level of involvement I had not …
- A business model for Healing GroundsIn April ’23 I had an interesting meeting with a real estate developer who has somewhat of a focus on health and large estates. As does anyone when I bring up Healing Grounds he was also interested in they idea and understood the need for it. But also the question arose: what about the business …
- The antidote to polarisation, welcome to the twilight zoneIf everybody would eat a 100% vegan diet, the world would be a much better place, period.

You could …

- The world needs changemakers and therefore we need to take care of themOne of the target groups I want to focus on with Healing Grounds are changemakers. People who give their (working) life to animals, nature, underrepresented humans or other good causes. What they are doing is so important, specially in face of the many crises today. They are leading human kind to see things in another …

- About quitting the newsI believe everything is connected and everything we do or think has influence. Let me first explain three important physical insights before I move on. I like how science and pseudo science is coming closer to spiritual beliefs, how it’s demystifying those beliefs in a sense. Taken the three points above into account I believe …
- You dó have influence. About the little big things you can do.July 17th 2014, I am watching the news, I still watched news back then, I only quit doing that some time ago. More on that in another post. So back to July 17th 2014, flight MH17 of Malaysia Airlines which had taken off from Amsterdam Airport was shot down above Eastern Ukraine, and I feel …

- Why I feel healing people is important for the future of our speciesMaybe with such a title it is already clear to you, but I’d like to explain it for those who have not yet looked at the need to heal people from this perspective. Some call it seeds of hatred, the future trauma that is planted by the horrible consequences of for example a war. I …
