Life doesn't have to feel like
a waiting room.

Welcome.

This is a place for those whose worlds have grown smaller and who want to feel more alive, even when their circumstances
can’t be fixed.

When life becomes difficult, managing it can become a full-time job.

I call this Transaction Mode. It keeps things going, but after a while it can leave us feeling more like administrators than participants.

A central thread of my work explores how to move between Transaction Mode and Grace Mode, so we can handle what needs handling without turning the whole of life into a task.

Workshops for teams that want to remain human under pressure

Workplaces have their own version of Transaction Mode. Under pressure, people protect themselves, conversation becomes more careful, and a surprising amount of intelligence never makes it into the room.

I design practical, participatory workshops that help teams create the trust needed for honest conversation and better thinking. The work is shaped around what is actually happening in the room, and people leave with language and practices they can still use when Monday arrives.

In the eight years since my first encounter with Anél Hamersma, I have engaged her at several opportunities for work at the UCT Law Faculty and at the SARChI: Mineral Law in Africa. What sets her apart from other facilitators, is the extraordinary creativity and presence she holds as metaskills. The creativity enables her to offer bespoke products for workshops and retreats: she uses her many trainings in performance, thinking environment, family constellations and more, alongside her deep interest in meaning-seeking and meaning-making to create so much more than "events" - she creates meaningful encounters with the soul.
