Do you wish to lead a healthier, happier and more meaningful life?

Do you experience a desire to fulfil your potential and help others fulfil theirs?

Do you want to effectively make a positive contribution to the world?

In that case The School of Transformation is for you!

What is The School of Transformation?

The School of Transformation is a 1-year course focused on personal and collective growth and development.

The course is divided into 3 trimesters. Trimesters consist of 4 sessions of 3,5 hours each.

Depending on your personal development goals and schedule, you can follow one, two or three trimesters.

Groups consist of a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 16 participants.

What makes The School of Transformation so unique?

The combination of insights from scientific research, goal-oriented personal development, dialogue, theory,

philosophical perspectives and a series of relevant practical exercises.

You will achieve personal and collective growth and the techniques you will learn to live a healthier, happier and

meaningful life will remain applicable for as long as you live.

You will gain greater insight than ever before into areas in which you can develop yourself both individually and

as a group.

You will co-create a safe and stimulating setting in which other participants will inspire you and actively support

you to reach your personal development goals.

As a group, you will learn a shared language to be able to communicate clearly about most known areas of

personal growth, both with participants and people in your daily life.

As a group you will also develop the practical skills necessary to continue organizing sessions as an autonomous

collective after the conclusion of the trimesters.

What subjects do the sessions cover?

Trimesters consist of 4 sessions of 3,5 hours each. Within this structure, sessions 1 and 3 are inspiration-sessions and

sessions 2 and 4 are co-creation sessions. The inspiration-sessions are characterized by a specific theme related to the

study of consciousness development and human potential. These themes are partially based on integral theory (the study

of holistic approaches to human existence) and cover the following subjects:

- Multiple Intelligences

- Stages of Human Development

- Domains of Human Experience

- States of Consciousness

- Personality Types

- Dimensions of Human Existence

For more information, see the overview of the content of the inspiration-sessions from pages 9 to 20.

The co-creation sessions are characterized by one or more inspirational themes, among which:

- Nutrition

- Boxing

- Yoga

- Qi Gong

- Meditation

- Constellation Work

- Voice Liberation

- Dance

The co-creation sessions are furthermore characterized by themes suggested by participants. These sessions consist of

many practical exercises to help participants individually and collectively utilize their potential. During these sessions

participants also work together towards reaching the personal and collective goals they formulate during the trimester.

How will I achieve my desired results during The School of Transformation?

To guarantee you achieve your desired results during the course, you will be supported by the facilitator to follow four

steps:

1 You identify your most important values, principles, ideals and developmental goals.

2 You formulate concrete goals for individual and collective development and select effective strategies to gradually

achieve your goals.

3 You increase your individual awareness through:

(a) sharing knowledge, insights and experiences within a network of mutually inspiring relationships.

(b) practicing relevant exercises.

4 You sustainably maintain the positive results you have achieved.

The result? Sustainable transformation!

When and where will The School of Transformation take place?

Both the dates and times as well as the location of the trimesters are decided upon collectively based on dialogue

between the participants and the facilitator.

Each session has a standard duration of 3,5 hours

What attending The School of Transformation has brought me is an increase in my ability to participate in life with love and awareness and to cultivate valuable new friendships. In my daily work I encounter many people and I notice that, through The School of Transformation, Im more able to stay true to myself and am therefore more effective in interacting with people.

- Joris Martens

"The positive experiences of opening up in the group and expressing my vulnerabilities, have made me more aware of previously 'undisclosed' developmental desires and have made me more authentic, also in interaction with others in daily life. From a place of increased compassion for myself, I am able to more easily manage confrontations with myself and others, what has caused my capacity for wisdom and compassion to grow."

Testimonials

What do participants have to say about Trimester 3?

The School of Transformation is for people who are prepared to make an inner journey to find the best version of themselves. Not just for themselves, but also for everyone around them.

- Bjorn Bons

The School of Transformation has allowed me to experience that 'working on yourself' is something that never ends and that you can strive for a sustainable and (en)lighte(ned)r life. Through feedback and personal stories from the group you discover techniques for self-improvement you wouldnt have thought of yourself or that wouldnt have felt as informal in a one-on-one session with a trainer/coach. At the same time you learn to recognize what works for you so you dont have to follow every new consciousness-increasing trend. Of course I still feel resistance to live 'responsibly' and to strive for 'comfortable living', but when I slip up, I always become aware again. Through experiences with the group - 'others share my experience' ik know Im not crazy for doing meditation or visualization exercises or striving to experience more joy at work.
