inner sky
intimate
with my body
deeply connected
with others
Love has befriended me
so completely
it turned me to ashes
and freed me
Hafiz
Inner Sky is a transformative training with five weekend gatherings. At its heart, it teaches following beauty as a path to self-insight and self-recognition.
The training introduces the five pillars of House of the Beloved: meditation, authentic presence, shadow work, touch and embodiment, and existential inquiry.
You’ll cultivate deeper intimacy with yourself through silent, guided, and embodied meditation, and learn to express yourself fully as a way to form genuine connections with others.
The outcome is a calm mind, an awakened body, profound self-recognition, and deep connections with others.
Welcome to this ecstatic journey.

This is undoubtedly one of the most valuable and transformative trainings I’ve ever attended: deeply connecting, refreshingly honest, and challengingly confrontational! Thank you, Stijn, for guiding us in such a unique way towards a life where we can and dare to be more authentically present! I’m already looking forward to more opportunities to practice.”

“Wow, what a transformative experience. The meditation techniques from this training come from a unique lineage and are completely different and much more intense than other ‘meditations’ I know, which often boil down to ‘Do nothing.’ I experienced what it’s like to observe sensations, thoughts, and emotions without being distracted or carried away by them. And how it is to see myself and the world from a more realistic perspective. In my daily life, I am constantly applying these meditation techniques and I notice that I feel sharper, calmer, and freer, with a new appreciation and contentment with life as it is, without the urge to change things. Only now do I realize how much I was actually driven by unconscious impulses. This was just the very first step and I can’t wait to delve deeper into these techniques under Stijn’s guidance.”

“There was so much self-insight and experience to process again. What a wealth! We sang, danced, screamed, ate, hugged, played, created, allowed anger to be, massaged, and mourned. I felt fully human, alive, vibrant, in resistance, in irritation, in joy, and openness. Thank you for your sincere, wise, loving, playful, and clear guidance. I look forward to practicing authentic presence with you and everyone else!”

“Truly beautiful and highly recommended, this training. It has given me a greater sense of freedom and connection simultaneously. Whereas it often felt like one came at the expense of the other, now there is a knowing that being different (and the same) together is truly possible and how wonderful and enriching it is to express our own way of being human together, without needing to change anything. More than a transformation, it feels like coming home, returning to what was already within me but sometimes hidden. It makes me grateful and enthusiastic. I cherish various moments of togetherness, keeping them warm in the pockets of my coat to pull out when I momentarily forget.”
