Sharing our story

About us, Love and respect for nature

Where it all started, love and respect for nature

The story of Kolimbri is rooted in many formative moments, shared values and a deep connection to nature.

Niki is a creative entrepreneur, facilitator and coach with a background in visual art, youth work, women’s work and personal development. Marcos is a holistic therapist, coach and nature guide, with a lifelong love for the natural world and the wisdom it offers.

Together, they share a deep respect for nature, a desire to collaborate and a commitment to growth, learning and meaningful service. From a young age, Niki could often be found with a pencil in her hand, expressing herself through drawing, imagination and careful observation. Alongside her creativity, she has always had a strong sensitivity to people — an intuitive ability to sense what is present, connect with others and bring different perspectives together. Her work with women’s circles and feminine strength brings another important layer to Kolimbri: creating spaces where women can gather, reflect, reconnect and support one another.

Marcos, for as long as he can remember, has felt most at home in nature — observing animals, learning from the land and deepening his relationship with the more-than-human world. He has a natural gift for seeing patterns: in people, relationships, groups and the stories that shape our lives. Through systemic work and one-to-one coaching, he supports people in sensing what is supporting them, what may be getting in the way, and where new movement or flow wants to emerge.

Niki and Marcos first met in 2015 in Greece, their ancestral homeland. What began as a personal connection grew into a shared life, creative partnership and professional collaboration. Kolimbri was born from this meeting point: where art, nature, coaching, women’s work, systemic work and human connection come together to support personal and collective growth.

Our Core Purpose

Reconnecting people to nature in a sustainable way

Our core purpose is to reintegrate spirituality, connectedness to nature and personal growth. We do this by enabling an ecosystem of people, skills and perspectives to discover the ways in which they’re going to change their worlds. Building a community that creates supportive and inclusive dialogue for individuals and organisations that share our values ​​of sustainability, innovation and a deep respect and love for nature. We encourage collaboration and knowledge-sharing through events, workshops, and online platforms.

Curiously Connected Cards

Using cards for playfull discovery of deeper needs

The Artwork

Each card is based on a hand-drawn watercolour painting or pencil drawing by Niki or Marco. The drawings were inspired by dreams, memories, encounters and observations in nature. During the many hours of illustrating, each animal slowly revealed more of its own character, inviting detail, expression and a deeper sense of presence.

The Booklet

The booklet offers a short text to accompany each animal. The “I Am…” statements are designed to inspire your sensing, intuition and imagination. You are invited to approach the words as you would a poem, not by searching for one fixed meaning, but by allowing the language to move through you. The cards themselves deliberately show only the animal artwork, without any words. This creates space for your own response, your own associations and your own way of connecting with the image.

We have chosen to print Curiously Connected Cards using printers Drukkerij De Bij in the Netherlands. Furthermore they have a leading reputation for using sustainable paper, ink and renewable energy to power their print works.

We could have printed the cards at a lower cost sourcing elsewhere. However cost price isn’t the only factor we’ve taken into consideration. We hope that as our valued customer you’ll chime with these values and support us in sourcing sustainably-produced products therefore we love collaborating with people and companies who value these principles.
