Roel guides you into meditation in a very natural way and from the heart. After the meditation I felt calmer and clearer straight away, it was very nice and I recommend it!

Roel’s meditation training I experienced as clear, concrete and fully adjusted to the modern times. The practical techniques I received are easy to fit in to the busy life of an entrepreneur. Because you start to function more effectively and need less sleep, I noticed that in the end meditation even gave me more time and energy. I am convinced!
Marie (34) from Amsterdam

Roel’s training left me full of insights on what meditation is, of inspiration from all the benefits and serenity meditation can bring me and of motivation to start meditating easily and everyday thanks to simple tips and tools. I came home with much more than I expected.
Nino (23) from Amsterdam
Philosophy student
Even with the more than 1500 hours of meditation experience I already had, I found Roel’s meditation training refreshing and it gave me useful advice that I can use during my own practice. He is clear, up-to-date and to-the-point.
Breean (34) from Amsterdam

Roel’s introduction to meditation course gives a comprehensive and in depth background of the practice. The course has an organic flow, as the theory is put directly into practice. He is an extremely knowledge and approachable teacher. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested!

Roel’s meditation training gave me a clear insight in what meditation is and through the practical meditation sessions I could experience what meditation can do for me. I meditate on a regular basis now and definitely recommend Roel’s trainings.
