Jac Hielema
Ik begeleid mensen bij het helder krijgen van hun I am en het ontwikkelen van de moed om daar ook werkelijk vanuit te leven, van binnen naar buiten dus. Mijn werk gaat niet over iets weg willen hebben: angst, haat en twijfel; maar iets willen creëren: moed, liefde en innerlijke zekerheid. Ik maak mensen bewust van het liefdevol scheppende in hen en het leren luisteren naar wat waar is, ook als dat spannend is. “Heel bang zijn en toch doen.”
Mijn manier van werken is geworteld in het waarnemen van levensprocessen in de mens, in de samenleving, in de aarde zelf, zoals Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) de natuur observeerde zonder te oordelen. Ik observeer met mensen de bewegingen van hun ziel en hun omgeving: met aandacht, met verwondering en met respect voor het ritme van ontwikkeling.
Met milde scherpte, humor en liefdevolle discipline help ik mensen om de zes sleutels van Living together en het vrij-gelijk-samen-denken concreet en werkbaar te maken in hun eigen leven en werk. Als docent Ken jezelf! in de Leergang Samenlevenskunst en als leraar als vriend door Scholingswegen op maat, altijd door het oefenen van aanwezigheid, moed en liefde.
Al ruim tien jaar begeleid ik mensen, gemeenschappen en initiatieven die van binnenuit willen vernieuwen. Mijn vreugde ligt in het moment waarop mensen en gemeenschappen eenvoudig zichzelf zijn, wakker, echt, en in verbinding met het leven.
Live from the inside out
Do you know what you want to do or who you want to be, but is fear or doubt holding you back?
At Tailor-made training paths Practice your courage, grounding and loving action.
Everyone is welcome, all it takes is good will and the decision to start.
What you practice?
using the six keys
I am
To recognise your own source, that quiet, creative point from which you know what is true for you. You will learn to listen to your intuition, and from there, give direction to what you do and leave.
Value
To see what you have to offer and how that can be meaningful to the world around you.
You practice finding balance between giving and receiving, doing and leaving, effort and rest.
Property
Taking ownership of your own life and owning what you need to own your I am to be able to live. You explore how to deal with land, labour and capital in a healthy, conscious way.
Earth
Aligning your actions with the reality of nature.
You will learn to see rhythm, boundaries and rest as part of your work, so that you can live rooted and sustainable.
Relationship
Being present in contact, with yourself, with others and with the bigger picture.
You practice speaking honestly and really listening from love and trust, without being naive.
Organisation
Create forms where cooperation can flow freely and equally. You learn to listen to the middle, where decisions do not force themselves but emerge. You learn to think organically at all.
"The reason these exercises work is that they are rooted in spiritual truth."
“I had started training in manual therapy, but I doubted I could do it. Jac asked me to write down what my real expectations and fears were. That was difficult, but at the same time liberating: I was invited to reflect on what was really going on inside me, exactly as it was, in a critical and testing moment. Jac read that, or rather listened with full attention to what I had penned down, and then wrote guidance that respected my hopes and my fears, but most of all me as a human being. With that encouragement, it was not difficult to do the exercises and find the peace I needed. It helped me take the training with more openness, to learn and enjoy it, and it helped me succeed. Many lessons, such as perceiving my thinking exactly as it is in the moment, without judgement, but rather with love, have stayed with me. The reason these exercises work is that they are rooted in spiritual truth. Or, put another way, they are based on those life facts that you can only discover by looking inward."

"Jac's guidance helped me dare to stand still in that forest," he says."
“I had the opportunity to be one of the first to be able to do a pathway with Jac. For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with the question 'who am I really?' Like everyone around me was walking their path and I was always just picking paths through the trees. That was the reason I became a participant in the Samenlevenskunst (Art of Living Together) course. That helped, but still all my musings felt like a tangle of cooked spaghetti. Jac saw this and offered me his help. He asked me to put my spaghetti knit unstructured on paper and send it to him. In it, he found topics to discuss, both during a walk and via email. He gave me exercises to work with. Within a few weeks, the spaghetti unravelled a bit, allowing me to make leaps in my own development. I believe Jac's guidance helped me dare to stand still in that forest. Just sitting on a tree trunk together and feeling the ground. And then I suddenly knew who I Am. My path became clear and I am walking it."

"Jac's exercises made me look at myself more lovingly and patiently."
“I took part in the Bespoke Schooling Pathway because I kept bumping into my 'shadows' (in other words, getting into the danger and strategy triangles) when carrying out my master's thesis, which cost me a lot of energy and sometimes made me want to give up. Jac's exercises made me look at myself more lovingly and patiently, and gave me confidence to keep going anyway. Not by going on by 'pounding', as I was used to all my life, but by standing still every now and then and speaking to myself lovingly. Jac's feedback also inspired my own interpretation of one of the exercises. Another exercise (i.e. my inner sage versus my internal 'alderman Hekking') exposed very clearly for me my internal process, allowing me to look at it more closely and better understand where that ever-critical 'Hekking' came from.
