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.

You practice finding balance between giving and receiving, doing and not doing, effort and rest.

"The reason these exercises work is that they are rooted in spiritual truth."
“I had started training in manual therapy, but I doubted if 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 alive in me, exactly as it was, at a critical and testing time. Jac read that, or rather, he listened met volle aandacht naar wat ik had neer gepend, en schreef vervolgens een begeleiding die mijn hoop en mijn angst respecteerde, maar vooral mij als mens. Met die bemoediging was het niet moeilijk om de oefeningen te doen en de rust te vinden die ik nodig had. Het hielp me om de opleiding met meer openheid te volgen, om te leren en ervan te genieten, en het hielp me om te slagen. Veel lessen, zoals het waarnemen van mijn denken precies zoals het op dat moment is, zonder oordeel, maar juist met liefde, zijn me bijgebleven. De reden dat deze oefeningen werken, is dat ze geworteld zijn in geestelijke waarheid. Of, anders gezegd: ze zijn gebaseerd op die levensfeiten die je alleen kunt ontdekken door naar binnen te kijken."

"Jac's guidance helped me to dare to stand still in that forest," he said."
“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 of '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 Learning Art of Living Together. 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 unraveled 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 together on a tree trunk and feeling the ground. And then I suddenly knew who I am. My path became clear and that is what I am walking."

"Jac's exercises made me look at myself more lovingly and patiently."
“I participated in the Customized Scholingsweg because I kept bumping up against my 'shadows' (in other words, getting into the danger and strategy triangles) when performing my master's thesis, which was costing 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, as I was used to all my life, by continuing by 'pounding', but by standing still 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 always critical 'Hekking' came from.
