het verhaal van Field of Value
I am here as a guide to finding and integrating our intrinsic Value
My name is Alwin, a young man currently living in Amersfoort, the Netherlands.
A deep longing for truth and connectedness with questions about Life’s true nature have been with me for as long as I can remember.
Growing up in a strictly religious environment, I was confronted early on with the light and shadow of being human. In my early twenties, I reached a dead-end – utterly depleted, I ventured out on a path to re-discover who I truly am.
From then on, my life has been a journey of remembering the many layers of our being – deeper and deeper into the mystery of this great Life, presenting itself in every moment.
Now, I help others find and integrate the experience of their own inherent Value and worth.
Inspiration, healing and goodness is found in the depths of your very own Life

If my story resonates with you, be invited to plan a session in which we clarify the next step in your Life’s unfolding.
There is no teacher, no practice that goes beyond being a human in every moment. The journey to this realisation got catalyzed by the crisis I faced in my late teens and early twenties. I was studying international relations at university, had a job in the army, was working in construction and practicing weightlifting and martial arts most days.
While externally doing good, I was internally consumed by a growing feeling of profound emptiness and despair. Eventually, my body could take no more, and one morning, I could not stand up from my bed. This led me into a profound journey of self-discovery.
First, I immersed myself in learning about the body. Guided by a variety of therapists and teachers, I attempted to correct my posture and learned to see in 3 dimensions.
Also, I started to engage the study of philosophy and literature, reading and listening to many, many books in search of wisdom and guidance.
We are at a point in human evolution where remembering our intrinsic unity with all of Life determines our survival

After several years, I realised that working on the mental and physical layers does not suffice. From there, the journey deepened – during a healing session, visceral memories resurfaced about a surgery on my eyes I went through when I was one year old. This experience connected me to the story of my emotions and the depth of my somatic experiences.
Through this process, my experience of self began to include the vivid and visceral reality of my inner life. The dreams and visions I received became an increasing source of guidance. Additionally, I started working with a variety of healers and spiritual guides. I also began to study a variety of ancient wisdom traditions, systems’ science, and therapeutic models – going deeper and deeper into the workings of the body, emotions, mind and Soul.
I started to see how my embodied, personal story is an interwoven, integral part of a greater, collective story which expands from my personal being to my family, society, and our entire humanity.
I finished my study at university by writing a thesis on the healing process in post-genocide Rwanda, which took me through a mental and emotional journey of understanding a little bit of the dazzling human ability to forgive and heal after profound suffering.
Eventually, the journey through my inner world brings me Home – to the in-the-moment experience of peace and clarity that comes with the realisation that no-thing, essentially, can ever be broken and that all things lead to beauty.
Many humans have walked and continue to walk beside me – touching me deeply with their courage, wisdom and love. Some as friends and lovers and others as guides and therapists – thank you for being who you are.
In the summer of 2023, I organised the first event under the banner of Field of Value – initiating a movement which continues to take shape to this day.
Field of Value is created to inspire – if my story resonates with you, contact me to find out how I can be of Value to You
If I have learned one thing, it is that our ability to live and lead is not determined by external accolades, but rather by our ability to approach everything and everyone we meet, especially our pain, with ever-increasing reverence.
Goodness and aliveness is something that needs to be lived, embodied, and cultivated with great care – it emerges in the intimate moments of gratitude, rest, courage, and inspiration – and when your breath get stifled, yet you still decide to lean into your very own experience.
Yet, various models and traditions inspire and influence my work. Some of the main ones are listed below:
(Universal) Sufism
Systems science
Organic Intelligence
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
Anatomy Trains
Various Movement Practices
Jungian Depth Psychology
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Polyvagal theory
Cosmo-Erotic Humanism
What People Say About my Work
The symbol
The dynamics Field of Value represents are expressed in the logo:
The gold points to the inherent goodness of Life.
The outer circle, which embraces all other parts, refers to the intrinsic wholeness of Life.
The smaller circle at the bottom points at Life’s origin – the seed, containing all potential, from which all of Life manifests.
From this point, the other circles emerge – initiating an upward movement of expansion, symbolising LIfe’s desire to evolve towards increasing wholeness and beauty.
Hence, the symbol depicts two fundamental qualities: wholeness and desire. When those two dynamics are in balance within an individual or collective body, we are at peace, exactly where we are, while striving to evolve our experience of Life’s goodness.
