HUMANITY, UNDERSTANDING & CONNECTION

Monique Tekstra-van Lochem | Founder
Welcome! أهلاً وسهلاً Karibu! བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས། Welkom! 

Connection, creativity, and curiosity

Hi!


I’m Monique and I believe it is our responsibility as adults, parents, leaders and changemakers, to make the world a better, more peaceful and more humane place for our children and future generations.


And I believe that we can!


Based on my Humanisee Method (5 steps for radical humanity), I guide you to connect deeply. With yourself, with others, and with the beautiful diversity around us.


I feel this is my life's mission, shaped by a lifetime of experiences, learning, and immersing myself in the variety of people, lifestyles and cultures.


Here, you’ll find a variety of ways to expand your perspective and nurture empathy:

  • Art & Photography that inspire reflection and connection
  • Meditations, Rituals & Stories that open your heart and mind
  • Online Programs & Courses for personal growth and curiosity
  • Inspirational Sessions & Talks for empathic leaders and changemakers


In everything I create I aim to form a bridge, from here to there and from your world to someone else’s in order to let your curiosity lead to understanding.


By always seeing the human in others, we plant the seeds for connection, understanding, growing a world where empathy leads the way.


Whether you’re looking to explore new cultures, embrace diversity, or deepen your connection with yourself and others, here you’ll find a way to discover, reflect, and grow that fits you and/or your organisation perfectly.


We are all human. You only have to see it.


With love,
Monique

Discover the diversity of people

Humanisee Method

The Humanisee Method guides you through 5 transformative steps toward radical humanity. Learn to see the human in everyone, every story, connect deeply and act with empathy, curiosity, and openness.

Are you ready to explore these 5 steps and experience life and connection with the diversity of people more fully?

Art

My artworks help you to dive into the world of the other. Into different cultures, different ways of life. They reflect, often literally, through the use of mirrors, making both you and the other part of eachother's lives and of the same world. This helps you to empathize with the other, to be inspired by the beautiful diversity, and to discover similarities you didn't know existed.

Photography

Photography is my way of getting even closer to people. To almost dive *into* them and their lives. To experience, feel, and translate their stories into images, so that you too, can understand them even better. So that you can empathize with their lives. And so that those fascinating customs, rituals, and people can come to you, without you having to leave the house. Connecting with and understanding the other.

We helpen jou om (je) kind(eren) te begeleiden hun open en nieuwsgierige blik op de wereld te behouden.

The more different people I met on my journeys,

the more I discovered that we are all (just) people.
