Individuals

Counselling: Understanding yourself - growing new possibilities
We bring together the spiritual and the practical in personal growth, education and organisational development, using nature as a living guide for connection, reflection and transformation.

Nature, the spiritual and the practical.

Kolimbri invites us to reconnect with the parts of ourselves we may have forgotten, overlooked or not yet discovered. When we feel stuck, anxious or fearful, it is often a sign that something in our connection has been lost  with ourselves, with others, or with the natural world.

Nature invites us to slow down, listen and notice. Through grounded spaces for personal growth, education and organisational change, Kolimbri uses nature as a compass for deeper connection, fresh perspectives and meaningful action. From this place, we are able to make more conscious choices — for ourselves, for each other and for the world around us.

The Curiously Connected Cards  support this deeper sense of connection. They invite curiosity, reflection and the question: what becomes possible when I bring my vibrant sense of connection into each moment?

Holistic Coaching

Work with Niki, Coaching

I work holistically by connecting deeply with you and tuning into my strong intuition. Through walking outside together, I help you explore new possibilities and open space for change.

I have experience with young people, twinship and with all relationships that truly matter supporting you in understanding connection, patterns, and the deeper layers of relating.

 

Education programme The Way We Walk

The Way We Walk is a nature-connected education programme for secondary schools in Leiden. Through outdoor learning, reflection and creative practices, young people reconnect with themselves, each other and the living world. The programme strengthens wellbeing, resilience, citizenship, sustainability and ecological awareness — with nature as a learning environment and a compass for growth.

Curiously Connected Cards

Each card is based on a hand-drawn watercolour painting or pencil drawing by Niki or Marcos, inspired by dreams, memories and encounters in nature. Self-published with Drukkerij De Bij, as sustainably as possible.

Our roots
connect nature, art
and growth

Kolimbri is about connection, holding safe spaces for people to enquire using nature as a compass for growth. We invite you to make your own connections, seeing patterns and possibilities — whether through constellations, workshops, transformative one-to-one coaching or personal development with Curiously Connected Cards.

Niki & Marcos create spaces where nature, creativity and human connection become pathways for growth. Deeply rooted in education in the Netherlands, they are committed to bringing nature-connected learning into schools.

What people say

“I have just completed 12 months' of counselling with Marcos and can't recommend him highly enough. Finding myself in an extremely dark place, for the first time in my life, I reached out for help. Initially I was sceptical, but what followed was the most wonderful (at times challenging) journey of self discovery, that I wish I had begun many years earlier. Thank you Marcos.”

“Our sessions were stimulating, thought-provoking and sometimes even a bit uncomfortable for me, but with Marcos’ gentle and wise guidance we identified some key areas that were holding me back, some simple skills I could implement with my team to grow our performance and accountability. I have come out of those sessions feeling less anxious and stressed and with some really practical tools to grow my leadership.”

“Your facilitation was exquisite Marcos. I don´t think I have ever worked with someone who conveys such deep compassion and who holds a space quite so beautifully. Gentle spaciousness, acute perception and masterful direction. Thank you from deep within my heart.”

“Thanks again for the TurnStones session, I really enjoyed it and found it really powerful how you can overlay one conversation with another and find connections. I woke up at 2.30 in the morning after our session with loads of ideas around edges, margins and nature and had to get my notepad out - so something definitely shifted for me!”
