    Recommendations

    Four days with seven splendid men in Hornstrandir. No phone, no electricity, no hot water, only pure nature. A beautiful retrait guided by a warm-hearted man, Aegir was waiting for me. He has the enormous talent and gift of asking the right questions at the perfect moment. He makes you reflect on yourself in a way that transforms you forever. 

    John from Iceland


    During this retreat I deepend my meditationskills and went to places where I hadn’t been before. The outcome is that I have a proper view on where to go and how I want to do that. I enjoyed the combination of input, practice and personal reflexion. Stijn and Aegir combinee different styles both have their own character and vieuwpoints and makes this retreat very powerfull. The scenery of Iceland is just amazing. The moments of noble silence were of great value.

    Jan from Belgium


    Hornstrandir Men’s retreat is a well-composed program that suits anyone interested and courageous to look for ways to improve their lives. A variety of concise exercises done in a group, guided by the facilitator's determination and professionalism were excellent. Aegir and Stijn have unique knacks for yoga niches – deep calm voice calms the mind and increases well-being. Thank you for having me. 

    H. H. from Iceland


    Together with these seven magnificent men, Aegir creates an energy that will last for many years to come. I definitely recommend going on a once-in-a-lifetime experience with the facilitator. Thank you very much brother for this beautiful gift. It changed me in a very positive way. May God bless you. 

    Patrick from Iceland


    What have I gotten out of this amazing trip to Hornsrandir? I have learned very much about myself and will definitely use what I have learned for myself and the people around me to enrich the life organization of every day, mine and theirs. The facilitator's guidance were an amazing journey and what they gave of themself was absolutely amazing. I'll never forget it. J B S from Belgium.

    JBS from Belgium

    Excellent course/tour structure.

    The instructors took us through various aspects to improve mental strength, got the whole group involved. Asked a question that was a challenge to answer. But all done with the aim that the person could improve and find the answers for better well-being and a better life. Timetable followed and good organization every day.

    A lot of trust and friendship developed. Thank you so much for helping the group to go outside the box. That way I got an incredible amount out of the course.

    Thierry from Belgium

    I did not know what to expect. But these 5 days have given me so much to think about! I have learned a lot and I know this is just the beginning of an amazing journey. Stijn and Aegir are great teachers and Hornstrandir is an absolutely fantastic place for this retreat. I can see the future in a different and better way now! Thank you.

    Aanbevelingen

    Gaan stappen met Stijn is een inspirerende ervaring. TIjdens een ontspannen de wandeling weet Stijn je te prikkelen met de juiste vragen. Deze persoonlijke coaching stemt je tot nadenken over je acties in situaties waar je het verschil kan maken.

     

    Hans De Cuyper

    CEO Ageas

    Stijn geeft me als coach fakkels mee die mijn pad verlichten. Daardoor kan ik doordachtere keuzes maken en sta ik steviger wanneer er de frisse bries een wervelwind wordt. Hij kan zeer vaardig een combinatie maken van verschillende coachingstechnieken (ervaringsgericht, vragend, rollenspel, advies...). Die variatie heb ik zelf ook nodig om breed en diep te kunnen leren. Op enkele maanden tijd merk ik een wezenlijk verschil 

    Jan Royackers

    Directeur Schoolmakers

    Stijn heeft me door zijn kritische, maar niet oordelende vragen doen inzien dat dit wel degelijk het pad was dat ik  wou bewandelen.  Hij maakte me ook duidelijk dat al die twijfels slechts randvoorwaarden zijn. Dankzij zijn professionele begeleiding vond ik op al die vragen een passend antwoord.  Stijn was de geknipte persoon en heeft me op zijn rustige en vertrouwde manier geholpen om zelf de keuzes te maken die ik wou maken

    Kristof Herbiet

    Zaakvoerder Faja Lobi

    During my walk with Stijn, I realized more than before that I could profit from broadening the way I interact with other people. I remain essentially a very rational person and although I was aware that there are emotional aspects to consider when working with people, I rarely consciously acted accordingly, which is something I try change now. It has been remarkable how Stijn, during just one walk, has helped me in this respect. 

    Antonio Cano

    COO Ageas

    Heel leerrijk en puur. Dankbaar voor de nieuwe inzichten en om Stijn als fijne mens te leren kennen! 

    Sofie Mons

    Founder van 't Fundament

    De ruimte en de stilte van de natuur gekoppeld aan de empathische communicatiestijl en wijsheid van Stijn deden mij tot inzichten komen over mijn persoonlijke en professionele situatie.

    Hannes Malfait

    CEO Sterk

     Stappen met Stijn is echt leren kijken naar jezelf en de wereld en onderzoeken wat jij met de wereld doet en andersom. Soms moeilijk, soms confronterend, maar wel to the point. Heerlijk zijn de momenten waarop je puzzelstukken kunt samen leggen en het helder wordt! Wat ik bovendien apprecieer, is de open hartelijke sfeer, zonder druk, maar toch voldoende ambitieus. Stappen met Stijn is bergbeklimmen, zweten, afzien, ... maar wat een uitzicht! 

    Sabine Gauquie

    Diensthoofd Gerechtelijke Politie

    Stijn bracht me dichter bij mezelf en leerde me echt luisteren naar mijn wensen en persoonlijke drijfveer.  Ik kon op een heel fijne en ongedwongen manier voelen dat ik echt de stap naar zelfstandige wilde zetten en op deze manier mijn twee passies zou kunnen combineren. Wat Stijn zijn manier van werken extra bijzonder maakt, is dat hij je na het hebben van deze inzichten verder ondersteunt.  


    Hij bekijkt waar je valkuilen zitten en waar je kracht in zit. Dan laat hij je nog niet los.  Hij blijft ervoor zorgen dat je op de juiste energie blijft stromen om je doel te bereiken. Zonder deze begeleiding en gesprekken was ik zelf nooit tot deze inzichten gekomen en had ik het lef niet gehad ook daadwerkelijk de stappen te zetten. Ondertussen gaat binnen enkele weken mijn eigen Barbiers zaak open en staat mijn reservatie boek al behoorlijk vol!

    Dank je wel Stijn!

    Tineke Caels

    Actrice en barbier

     Ik stond met verstomming geslagen van de kracht ervan en de helderheid. Meteen voelde ik dan ook wat mijn toekomstig pad was. Een aanrader voor iedereen die voor een keuzeproces staat om dit eens al wandelend aan te pakken!
