Hi there!

 

My name is Evi  van der Niet. 

My passion is to see things grow and share. People, plants, dishes, stories & dreams!

​

In my first job I supported people on their recovery journeys in a Salvation Army shelter. Recovery can be a rocky & lonely road. It’s hard to experience: “too little money, too few friends and too little meaning.” I was intrigued by the stories of courage & strength.  One of the insights I gained from working with the people was that quality of life is about relationships and stories, not about fixing and needs.  I’ve learned to think in potential contributions and was inspired to encourage people to experience they can be shapers & makers of their own community.

​

With the practice of deep listening & whole hearted living as a basis I strongly belief that every contribution is valuable.

When people feel seen, heard & valued this creates a sense of belonging. It allows people to contribute their gifts, to help build & strengthen the community and to sustain it.

My mission is to work on a community that works for everyone and together we can DO it!
