The Way We Walk

What if nature was not just a place to visit, but a place to learn?

The Way We Walk is a nature-connected education programme for secondary schools in Leiden. Through outdoor learning, reflection and creativity, young people reconnect with themselves, each other and the living world.

The programme supports wellbeing, resilience, citizenship, sustainability and ecological awareness with nature as a teacher, mirror and compass for growth.

For schools who want to bring learning beyond the classroom and into living connection.

On Resilience and Safety

What does a young athlete need in order to truly develop? When does someone feel grounded enough to grow, to learn, and to speak up? And what does a sporting environment require to make that development not only possible, but healthy and sustainable as well?

Digesting the Family Loaf

Imagine a family, a traditional Eastern cultural context, sitting together on the floor in a circle around a simple meal, the centre of which is a round loaf of unleavened flatbread. There is no individual portion, each person tears off pieces from the same loaf.

Iconic Essence

Ben jij iemand met een bijzonder verhaal, een unieke visie of een diep verlangen naar verandering en verbinding?

Samen met Chantal Korteweg heb ik een krachtig kunstwerk gecreëerd dat haar persoonlijke reis weerspiegelt—van groei en ambities tot de kracht van vrouwelijke energie. Dit kunstwerk is ontstaan uit een diepgaande samenwerking, waarin we samen de visie, symbolen en kleuren bepaalden die haar verhaal vertalen naar een iconisch kunstwerk.

Ben jij op zoek naar een kunstwerk dat jouw verhaal uitdrukt? In 2025 wil ik vijf bijzondere mensen uitnodigen voor een co-creatieproces, waarin we samen iets betekenisvols creëren. In onderstaande link kun je meer lezen over het proces, less je een interview en kun je je inschrijven voor een dergelijk traject.

Seeing the hidden patterns: an exploration of Systemic Constellations

In this blog we reflect on areas of our lives that might be calling for healing. With the help of systemic constellations we can gain a compassionate and broader perspective on ourselves and the wider systems that influence our life’s path.

Jeremy Hinks, welcome to the Kollective!

Kolimbri Kollective Profile – Jeremy Hinks

Jeremy is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) level with the International Coaching Federation (ICF).  He thinks of his coaching role as being thought provocation, feelings elicitation, and curiosity wrangling.  He confesses to enjoying language and also being an ‘accomplished unfinisher’.

Jeremy (pictured on the left in the photo, next to Marco) has about 40 years of professional experience which he draws on in his coaching practice in which his sense of activism is connected to bringing the benefits of coaching and coach training into groups who do have not had access to it.  His own small part in this has been doing most of his coaching in the third and public sectors with as diverse a range of clients as he is able to collect together.  He describes his coaching niche simply as being ‘I am able to coach anyone who is open to being coached by me’.

We invited Jeremy to introduce himself to you in a more personal way…
