Feb 2023 - March 2023    Wheel of Consent 3 - day training with Marielle Spronck: The Wheel of Consent is                                                          developed by Betty Martin and describes the 'Art of Giving and Receiving' and how to                                                    create consent spaces. I apply this in my workshops as consent is essential in order to                                                create a 'safer container' for both personal and collective processes.

Jan 2022 - June 2022       Halfyear training Polyvagal theory (6 sessions of 3 hours) & 2 online trainings (each 4                                                   sessions) - with Marielle Spronck: the Polyvagal Theory is developed by Stephen Porges                                               and describes the different nervous system states and how they impact us (in short:                                                     fawn, fight, flight, freeze). Deb Dana developed a more therapeutic approach that can be                                               applied in order to respond to and regulate our nervous system states (which has                                                         impact on the way we feel, think, act and are). These trainings used insights from both                                                 Stepehen Porges and Deb Dana.

                                             Young Innovators is an Honors Program for national and international Master's                                                             students of the Utrecht University. It aims to co-create a learning community that                                                           invites students to: reflect on one's socialization, worldview and power relations,                                                           connection to non-human nature, embody one's values, co-create interventions and                                                       (un)learn together. As a host I facilitate the processes that invites these learnings and                                                   as 'Office Manger' I maintain an overview of the organizational side.
