Jasper is an entrepreneur, adventurer, coach and wisdom seeker. He is interested in the intersection of consciousness and social entrepreneurship. During retreats he will support entrepreneurs with vision, strategy and manifestation.
He has co-founded 4 ventures (Soul Kitchen, ScaleHub, Kula and Bohemian Birds) that are united by a single purpose: To empower people to live their quests. As a response to COVID-19 he created a campaign to thank healthcare workers that got nominated for “Dutch advertising award of the year” (Gouden Loeki).
Jasper has trained and coached hundreds of social entrepreneurs through accelerator programs of ImpactHub, Booking.com, World Wildlife Fund and World Tourism Forum Lucerne. Jasper started his career as a strategy consultant at McKinsey and graduated from the London School of Economics.
He has had a challenging start in life. When he was 1 year old he lost his mother and a potential brother or sister in a car accident while they were living in Tanzania (where his parents worked as doctors). Luckily his father and he survived. This experience taught him lessons about the preciousness of life and made him want to experience life to the fullest.
Around 2 years ago Jasper left Amsterdam for a world trip and a bit of a spiritual journey. He visited Tanzania for 4 months, lived in a spiritual community in Costa Rica (Pachamama), attended Mindvalley University in Estonia and explored the world of psychedelics, meditation, breathwork and tantra. He sees Soul Kitchen as a lab for collaboration and exploration and a place where consciousness and business blend.
Nanneke started her spiritual journey in 2008 when a search for grounding and embodiment led her to yogic philosophy and the start of a Raja Yoga teacher training. It was during this training that she was introduced to Pranayama and Yogic Breathing. After one year she decided to make her practice a bit more physical and continued with a 4-year Hatha Yoga teacher training, which included Ayurvedic Principles, Massage and Prana, followed by a Yin Yoga TTC and various breathwork training.
Nanneke has acquired a wealth of expertise and since 2017 she is primarily focussed on breathwork and tantra. She now offers pranayama, circular breathing sessions, breath training and pelvic floor awareness.
About Breathbase
Breathbase provides workshops, classes, training and retreats for the development of breath awareness. With Breathbase, Nanneke focuses on three different types of breathing; Pranayama (Yogic Breathing), Circular breathing (therapeutic breathwork) and Relaxation breathing.
The first stage is developing a wholesome awareness of the natural breath, which is the Yin characteristic of breathwork, a sensation of being rather than doing.
From there you can start consciously training the breath. Using the therapeutic practice of circular breathing, you can move through trauma that has been stored in the body and create a sense of freedom and flow. Pranayama frequently brings about energetic body equilibrium and fosters a calm mind with intense attention and concentration.
I'm Maguy, a spirited entrepreneur driven by love for all things culinary – particularly the healthful kind -I will be your chef on the retreat! Behind every dish and bite, there's a philosophy that does not only tease the taste buds but also fuels our well-being.
🍽️ Mindful Eating:
We're often so caught up in our fast-paced lives that we forget to truly enjoy our meals. I'm on a mission to bring back the lost art of savoring each bite and truly appreciating every flavor as it holds the key to a harmonious relationship with our food.
🥗 Positive Culinary Influence:
Food isn't just fuel; it's a way to spread positivity in our lives. Through my food adventurous, I'm all about showing how delicious choices can be the gateway to being a happier, healthier person.
🌱 From Seed to Table:
The incredible journey our food takes before it lands on our plates. From simple seeds to delicious dishes, there's an entire world of hard work and progress that goes into it. It's like a behind-the-scenes show you don't want to miss.
🍎 Food as Medicine:
Every bite we take shapes how we feel and function. Whether it's firing up our brain cells or just giving us the energy to tackle the day, it all starts with what's on our plates.
As your chef in Portugal I will mainly cook plant based focusing on local, seasonal and bio/eco products. Quality ingredients are the most important to me where my mission is to positively influence people in the way they eat.
I look forward to welcoming you on the retreat.
Let's eat, laugh, and create delicious memories together!
Stay hungry,
Maguy
I've been selling my services as an independent leadership trainer/coach to companies and organizations for over 10 years. I've worked with various clients ranging from PWC, Chamber of Commerce, government agencies, municipalities, Young Capital, RWS, startups, scale-ups, and non-profits.
The biggest mindset shift I've experienced is transforming from a sales hater to a sales lover. I used to feel so resistant when it came to selling. It wasn't just about engaging in conversations but also creating commercially appealing offers and actively approaching people.
However, I discovered that sales is an incredibly interesting learning experience. It helps me better understand the needs of clients and also contributes to my personal growth, including my ego and communication skills. I've come to know myself really well.
And, not to mention, I effortlessly started earning more money! This has been beneficial as it allows me to invest in further education, which ultimately led me to become a B2B Sales Coach. Yes, I know, I'm addicted to learning.
