“What I bring in Firemakers is the recording and guarding of our core-energy. I create artefacts that help us accomplish our mission. And I embody the connection with the organisation of the European Festival of Brotherhood. I am driven by authenticity, integrity and passion. I really want to see the people around me and I dream of a world in which everyone has the courage to fully show themselves.”

Alexander Dijk
“I have worked in mental health care for 22 years, including guiding and teaching in a tbs-clinic. Currently a digital nomad, I embrace change, honor vulnerability, and nurture strength. Soul-connection for me starts with connecting to my own soul and heart first. I strongly believe that connecting from the heart makes the world a better place for every being.”

Bas van der Tang
“I dream of contributing to peace through my work in Firemakers. Peace in the hearts of men, so they can live in and work towards a world of peace, in connection with Self, and, from there, with Other.”

Ben Koeling
“Within the foundation I work on connection, cooperation, brotherhood. What is it that brings us together? What do we need? How can we be there for each other? Where can we meet? Which themes are alive in us? How do we make sure no one has to feel alone? How can we together make sure that you can be the best you, whith whom you can find self-love?”

Frederik Groenendijk
“Besides the financial part I work on development and organisation of activities, on mentoring and communication. Have worked as theatrical creator in the Netherlands and abroad, now as a coach, trainer, guide and singer-songwriter. Fire, magic, silence, taking steps. Rediscovering our traditions, bringing back simplicity, and living the king’s way is how I bring light to the people in order to realise my dream of a connected world.”

Harmen van Dijk
“In my role I focus mainly on (international) outreach, new activities and guiding a new generation of facilitators. Former diplomat with a lot of international experience. In daily life I work as transformational leadership coach, team facilitator and mentor. Key words: integrity, authenticity and getting things done. I dream of a world in which men and women together in healthy harmony weave a better world for our children.”

Firemakers Mannencirkel Nuenen
2026-04-20 07:30 pm
Bij deze mannencirkel komen we fysiek samen rond het vuur maar het is ook een heilige ruimte, een Sacred Brotherhood, waar we met elkaar delen over onze emoties, over dat wat in ons leeft, dat wat ons uitdaagt in het leven of juist dat waar we zo trots op of dankbaar over zijn. Dat kan…
Mannencirkel in de volle maan

Een cirkel voor mannen. Een cirkel voor verstilling en bezinning. Self realization over self preservation. Een cirkel in de natuur omdat ons dat dichter bij onze eigen natuur brengt. Een cirkel met ruimte voor nieuwe mannen, mannen met behoefte aan verbinding, aan heling of aan echte diepgang. Temidden van alle chaos en afleidingen van dit…

What inner journey do I, as a man, go through in supporting my daughter(s) to shine? Being a father to…
