Ivar – Coach/Instructor/Inner TourGuide
Ivar van Hoorn worked as a filmmaker, masseur, mindfulness coach, creativity teacher and artist. He is an expert by experience on the path of burnout, depression and hypomania (manic creative). He has collected a widely usable toolbox from, in particular, Tibetan Tantra Buddhism & Shamanism , Indian, Japanese and Chinese health teachings and scientifically researched breathing techniques.

Other sources of inspiration are: kickboxing, cold water swimming, bouldering, Ecstatic Dance, Lars von Trier, Osho, Chogyam Trungpa, Rupert Spira, Wim Hof and the indie rock band Pavement.
Based on his favorite quote from Bruce Lee and his extensive toolbox as source, he has developed his own dynamic spiritual creative therapy method that he has already offered on the work floor at organizations (like SalesForce), at home with individuals and now at Bluebirds Oost!
