Surrender to Self is a Sacred Passage through the turning of the year. It invites you to honor what 2025 has taught you, rest into the profound stillness of the 12 Holy Nights, and step into the fertile ground of 2026 with clarity and trust.

Winter is the night of the year — a time to turn inward, to nourish our roots in Soul and in Earth. As one cycle completes and another begins, we naturally reflect on where we’ve grown, what we’ve learned, and what our Inner Wisdom is whispering.

The 12 Holy Nights have long been seen as a potent, liminal threshold. Each Night corresponds to a month of the coming year, allowing your insights to become seeds of intention — guidance for the path ahead.

This is not a rush into the future. It is a soulful pilgrimage, a yearly initiation into the unfolding of your own essence.

You will receive the Magic Manual as a trusted friend throughout your journey. From reflection to integration to renewed action — the Magic Manual holds you through each phase of the journey.

True wintering begins not at the end of December, but in early winter — a gradual slowing into rest, quiet, and eventually emptiness.
When we allow ourselves to arrive in this stillness, we become receptive to the New: to our Inner Wisdom, to the whispers of our heart, to the guidance that wishes to meet us.

This is an invitation to celebrate your year consciously, to walk through the 12 Holy Nights with presence, and to greet 2026 grounded, aligned and attuned.

This journey is my offering — an honoring of your Being, your Soul, your Path. I am deeply grateful to walk beside you.

Many of us feel that we want to be part of a different story - we just don’t know how. U-lab is all about the ‘how.’ - Otto Scharmer

I have been part of U lab, multiple times.

Every time, I learn tonnes. Even after 16 years of working and breathing theory U…

As I finished the latest book of Otto Scharmer, Presencing, I strongly felt to reconnect to the source of the work, after all its amazing evolution. The wisdom about the social soil, really resonates with me. There is a new understanding available, at a different, deeper, level. For all of us.

To me, this process in autumn & winter, felt like such a perfect, natural momentum. A beautiful way to integrate all events and weaving of the past year and listen deeply to what life wants to create, through us.

In the past months, I have organized multiple islands of coherence in my garden in Amsterdam, that have been so nourishing and nurturing to those present. It definitely tastes like more, so I am very grateful a beautiful circle of coherence has formed around this U lab.

U lab is a process for transformative change that blends systems thinking, consciousness and wisdom traditions, and civic action.

It is a “learning by doing" program where you get familiar with Theory U tools, methods, and frameworks and start cultivating your ability to apply them to your life and work. It brings together thousands of change makers from around the world. Personally, I am totally in love with this playground!

‘Mother Earth is calling her children home’

In 1968, medicine man Raymundo Tigre Perez (Mexico/USA) had a vision. He saw Indigenous Wisdom Keepers from all over the world united in a circular pit – with a fire in the heart – performing a ceremony.

A spiritual ceremony for the earth, for peace and well-being of all living beings.

Only later he discovered that this was a KIVA, an ancient ceremony already used by the Anasazi 3000 years ago. Hundreds of native Wisdom Keepers answered his call and these KIVA ceremonies have been taking place around the world for more than 30 years.

The KIVA ceremony is a collective CALL from the entire indigenous population: they have never lost touch with nature and with their Ancient Wisdom, they can lead us to a more connected and sustainable way of life!’

In this documentary we get a unique view of the KIVA Ceremony, where Indigenous Wisdom Keepers gather around a sacred Fire and express their love via prayers, ancient rituals, songs and dance. But they also share their concern about the care for Mother Nature and humanity!

Because of the touching prayers and the impressive conversations with the Wisdom Keepers –the viewer is invited to reflect upon how to heal our relationship with the Earth! ‘Because she is crying and is calling her children home!’ So the Wisdom Keepers carry out their final call through KIVA Ceremonies all over the world. And at the same time they bring healing and solutions, through their Ancient Rituals, Prayers and Indigenous Wisdom!
