For over a decade Maarten has been sharing sweat lodge ceremonies and been teaching inspirational workshops that include firewalking, arrow breaking, rebar bending, meditation, ceremony, breathwork and visioning. He shares these teachings and the insights that have helped him along the way with refreshing frankness, humor and remarkable down to earthness. His immense trust in the inherent intelligence and personal capacity of all the people he works with is one of the major catalysts for the personal empowerment that happens during his events. His way of being allows people to accept themselves as they are in all their vulnerability and with all their inadequacy, at the same time supporting and inspiring them to great achievement, self love, self approval, success and happiness.

He is well known for his grounded centeredness and clarity, which creates a safe and solid space for people to venture deeply within themselves and do the transformational work on themselves that they need to do. Because of his ability to bridge ancient traditions, wisdom, practices and teachings with our contemporary western mind and needs he's able to make true personal transformation and deep healing easily accessible to a wide audience ranging from business professionals to spiritual practitioners.

Firewalking events, inspirational workshops and ceremonies are conducted in English or Dutch. Maarten is based in The Netherlands.
