Personal and Spiritual Leadership Training

Structural change. Not just more insight, but learning how to truly get to yourself and stay there, what is yours and what isn't, and how to give direction to your life, relationships, and work from your own essence.

During the Personal and Spiritual Leadership training, you will be brought back to your own energy and learn to consciously lead from who you truly are.

Start date: June 12, 2026 | 27 group sessions | individual sessions and personal coaching
Location: Zoom | Investment: €3,700 (payment in installments is possible; you can also use your training or vitality budget)

You might still be functioning, but deep down you feel you're no longer truly living in alignment. You adapt. You absorb energy or expectations from others. You get stuck in the same dynamics. You live primarily from your head, or you lose yourself in relationships or work.

In this training, you won't just work on your thoughts or behavior. You'll work on the layers that truly drive your life: energy, consciousness, systems, karmic processes, and the underlying laws and forces.

That's where true self-direction begins.

What makes this journey special

For those who find that insight alone doesn't bring lasting change

Many personal and spiritual development programs focus solely on knowledge, techniques, or awareness. This program focuses on actual change.

You work on the layers where patterns, inheritance, projections, blockages, and old control mechanisms arise. As a result, it doesn't stop at understanding what is happening; you transform in your being, allowing you to choose and direct differently.

23 healings
During the journey, you will undergo healings that transform blockages, projections, beliefs, and other energies that are not fitting. This supports detachment from what unconsciously controls you.

Personal coaching
The training is tailored specifically to you. You will receive personal guidance, and during the healings, we will specifically work on what can be resolved or transformed within you.

Integration into life and work
By freeing yourself, your energy can flow more purely and freely, and you will experience more clarity, strength, and connection with your own essence. You will see this reflected in your daily life, relationships, work, and choices.

From this change, you will learn:

recognize what is yours and what is not
Staying true to yourself while staying in touch with others
to see what's really going on in situations
influence energy instead of taking it over
and consciously steering your life

You are a multidimensional energy being. During this training, you will learn to understand how your system works and how to control it from different layers of yourself.

Christine: “I was looking for stability and direction. Through the training, I better understand how things work within myself and what I need to do. Space has opened up, and I now understand my boundaries better. My family has also become closer.”

Thoughts, emotions, expectations, and tensions from others can enter your system and feel like your own. This influences how you see yourself, what you choose, and how you react.

When you don't recognize what's yours and what isn't, you start living from noise. You adapt. You take over. You try to solve what doesn't belong to you. Or you lose yourself in what others need, expect, or project.

In this training, you will learn to make this distinction. Not to disconnect from life, but to be present more purely. From your own core. With more clarity, more peace, and more direction.

Why this program?

Your life is not only guided by what you think or do

It is driven by energy, such as your life plan, karmic connections, metaphysical laws and forces. But also by the energy on earth and the systems of which you are a part, such as your family system.

When you don't take those layers into account, you can keep trying to understand yourself or change your behavior, but the same dynamics often keep recurring, for example, that you:

not seen for who you really are
responsibility that is not yours
you adapt yourself or let yourself be pushed past your limits, even if it drains you
keeps ending up in similar relationships, work patterns, or conflict situations over and over again
lose yourself as soon as there is pressure, expectation, or external emotion

This training helps you to not only look at the visible outcome but also at what is actively working beneath it. You will learn to see how energy works, how systems influence, which patterns repeat, and how to consciously steer them.

Marlene: “I was often sick. Healthy food, sleep, and exercise weren't enough for me. Through the training and healings, I now stand much stronger in my own energy. Previously, I would absorb a lot of energy from others, but now I've learned to make a deeper connection with people while staying in my own energy.”

Who is this training for?

This training is for you if you feel that more is possible than how you currently live, work, or lead. Not just out of ambition, but from an inner realization that you no longer want to lose yourself in adaptation, responsibility, recurring patterns, or influence.

Perhaps you recognize that you feel a lot, see a lot, and carry a lot. You are used to considering others. You quickly sense atmospheres, tensions, or expectations.

In your work, relationships, family, or team, you are often the one who takes responsibility, keeps an overview, or tries to ensure things run smoothly. But you also notice: this costs too much and is no longer sustainable.

This training is for you if you:

notices that you are adapting, holding back, or sacrificing yourself and not clearly stating your boundaries
sensitive to energy, emotions, or pressure from others
want to break recurring roles and patterns in relationships, work, or family
want to learn what is yours and what is not
to take your own energy, boundaries, and direction more seriously
want to practically apply spiritual leadership in your life and work

You don't need to be in a leadership position to take this training. Spiritual leadership isn't about a title. It's about taking charge of your own life, acting from your own energy, and no longer reacting out of pressure, fear, or external influence.

People from diverse backgrounds attend this training: entrepreneurs, coaches, managers, therapists, parents, and individuals at a crossroads in their lives.

What connects them is their willingness to learn to direct themselves, their energy, and their lives on a deeper level.

Sijbe: “I was overthinking a lot and had less faith in a positive outcome. The training has given me confirmation and direction for myself. That gives a lot of confidence and peace.”

What does the training provide you with?

From being influenced and going along to autonomy and self-direction

This training is focused on structural change. The healings are aimed at soul liberation, helping you become more yourself. You will also learn to know yourself, your energy, and your direction. As a result, it doesn't stop at understanding; you transform in your being, enabling you to make different choices and direct yourself.

For you personally

You learn to recognize when you get caught up in the energy, choices, emotions, or expectations of others. You learn to stay true to yourself, recognize boundaries, and make choices from your own essence.

You are working on the layers that are active under patterns and roles. This creates space to no longer react automatically from old mechanisms.

You develop more self-confidence, self-acceptance, and clarity about what you want. So that you can increasingly live accordingly.

In your work and leadership

You bring yourself to work. When your energy changes, it affects your way of working, collaborating, managing, and doing business.

You will learn to better perceive, understand, and influence energy in situations. This will enable you to stand your ground more firmly in interactions with colleagues, clients, customers, employees, or teams.

Whether you are managing, working with people, or seeking direction in your own work: this training will help you to stop blending into the system and instead take your own position.

Structure of the training

First, detach yourself from what is unconsciously driving you. Then, learn to drive from your own energy.

The training consists of 2 parts that together form one development process.

Part 1: Personal Transformation

Moving on from takeover, old roles, and internal noise

This section focuses on your personal development. The majority of the healings take place in this section.

To be discussed:

Authenticity
Welcome, respect, and accept your true self. Learn to recognize and separate what is yours and what is not.
Authenticity Within Your Family
Getting rid of family karma, roles and patterns within the family, and energy in the family line that is not appropriate for you and your life lessons.
Chakras, Optimize Your Operating System
Chakras are nodes through which energy flows. It is the connection that makes all your bodies work as one; with your chakras you direct your life. From unconscious to conscious directing.
Pure Intuition, Improve Your Internal Senses and Your Expression
Improve inner seeing and hearing, plus optimize your speech. Needed to be heard; to communicate your thoughts, ideas and opinions. In addition, we zoom in on the power of words.

Part 2: Spiritual Leadership

Learning to lead and give direction from your core and energy

When you get more into your own energy, you can take more powerful control of your life.

To be discussed:

What Do I Want and How Do I Realize It
By working on the energetic setting and intentions, things become possible that were previously impossible. We guide you to get to the essence of what you want and what is needed to achieve it.
The Impact of Thoughts, Attitude, and Behavior
You will learn to interpret your horoscope and relate your life purpose, life lessons/karma, greatest learning points, etc. to the functioning of metaphysical laws and forces, and their influence on your life. What happens to you and what you achieve, you largely attract yourself. This applies to you personally, as well as to the team or company you work for or lead.
What Are My Strengths and How Do I Use Them?
Forces within you, forces that exert pressure on you, and forces that pass through you. Discover the difference, learn how to direct these forces, and make the best use of them.

From 'on your own strength' to 'using the powers of the universe.'.

Spiritual Masters

Insight, transformation, and application

The training is given by Astrid van Pluuren and Jarno Tiethoff, founders of Lead a normal life and authors of the books You are, You want, You're burdened, and You're strong.

Astrid has extensive experience with large, complex change processes within organizations and guiding teams and individuals through them. She approached this with an energetic, analytical, and practical approach. She brings clarity to patterns and dynamics that operate beneath the surface.

Jarno focuses on soul liberation and energetic development. In his healing sessions, he works on deeper layers of the energy system, where patterns, karmic connections, and tensions are stored.

Within the training program, they complement each other: Astrid provides insight and explanation, while Jarno works through healings on the energetic levels where change truly occurs.

FAQ Personal and Spiritual Leadership Training

What is Spiritual Leadership?

Spiritual leadership means living and making choices based on inner strength, awareness, and authenticity. It means not reacting out of fear or external pressure, but acting based on your own intuition and wisdom. More about spiritual leadership

Do I need to have experience with energy work?

No, we build it up step by step, and the techniques are also new to people who have done energy work before. During the process, you will learn everything you need to know, and there is personal guidance and space for your own process and growth path.

Is the training practical or spiritual?

The training is both energetically and practically.

With healings you can free yourself from obstructing (behavioral) patterns, beliefs, and thoughts. It creates certain realizations in yourself, allowing you to look at situations from a different perspective and to see them differently. With this you clear the way for change.

The next step is to actually implement the change. We guide you in this. Both personally and professionally.

I often lose myself in others. Does this training fit with that?

Yes, if you are willing to look at it on a deeper level. Many people who take this training recognize that they are taking on others' energy, emotions, expectations, or responsibilities.

In the training, you will learn to recognize what is yours and what is not, where you lose yourself, and how to offer firmer resistance. By being more consciously present in your own energy and learning to feel and assert your boundaries.

I've already done a lot. Why would this training be different?

This training works on a causal level: energy, consciousness, beliefs, systems, and karmic processes.

If you've done a lot and still notice that certain dynamics keep recurring, it can indicate that deeper layers and mechanisms are at play. This training is intended for people who want to work on precisely those layers.

Is this training suitable if I don't have a management position?

Yes, leadership here is not primarily about a position. It's about self-guidance.

You can take this course as an entrepreneur, professional, parent, coach, therapist, manager, or as someone at an important crossroads in life.

The question is not what title you have, but whether you are willing to take charge of your own energy, choices, and direction.

How long does the training take?

The Personal and Spiritual Leadership training includes 27 group sessions of 2 to 2.5 hours each. This is on the fixed dates as indicated on this site.

Individual sessions last on average 1.5 to 2 hours. We schedule these separately with you.

In addition, you attend a number of on-demand sessions of approximately 1 hour. You can schedule these yourself during the relevant period of the training.

During Part 1 Personal Leadership, the books Your Being and Your Beliefs are study materials. You should practice the exercises from these and a number of other exercises. And experience what it does for you. The self-study is on average 0.5 to 1 hour per week.

During Part 2 Spiritual Leadership, the book Your Karma is study material. You will also receive a number of assignments to prepare for the sessions. The self-study is on average 0.5 to 1 hour per week.

Can I also follow this training alongside my work?

Yes, most participants are taking this training alongside their work, business, or family.

The meetings are spread over two years and take place online. Additionally, there is room for individual sessions and self-study. On average, participants spend about half an hour to one hour per week on exercises or reflection.

Many participants find that what they learn during the training is directly applicable to their daily lives, work, and relationships. The development you undergo is therefore not separate from your life, but rather influences it.

- Is the training also suitable if I work or want to work professionally with clients?

Yes, you will learn skills and techniques that you can immediately apply in your own practice, such as life coaching, psychology, energy work, or therapy.

There are now many coaches, therapists, massage therapists, nurses, and healers who apply the techniques they learned from us in their practice.

Will I receive a title or diploma upon completion of the training?

This is not training for something, but a journey that changes your life.

Many personal and spiritual development programs train you for a role, such as coach, healer, or therapist. This training intentionally takes a different approach. The goal is not to train you for something, but to bring you closer to your true self and to strengthen your autonomy and self-direction.

The value of this program is therefore not in a title, but in the development in your life and in your work that you can achieve through everything you have learned and done during the course.

Your potential
"The greatest influence on your life is the potential you have within you. That is what can be discovered during your life. Don't let your life be limited by outside influences, such as what others think, want, or demand of you. But, don't limit yourself either because you haven't yet discovered certain talents within yourself.

Every skill requires attention to develop successfully. One may come easier to you than another, but it says nothing about how good you can become at something. Don't just give up. Not getting the most out of your life will ultimately cost you more effort."

Do you want to know if this study program is right for you right now?

That's what the introductory call is for. We'll look together where you are now, what's going on, what you need, and whether that trajectory fits. Plan an introductory meeting

The books are bestsellers in the Netherlands and Belgium.

“Clear guidelines and tools to help you develop your own discernment and discover your own truth. This breaks the cycle of dependency that has long been the norm in spiritual contexts.”
