Question 1

One-to-one sessions

Accepted Answer

In these sessions we stay close to how experience is actually lived and felt. Rather than trying to fix what is present, I offer space to reconnect with what is true in you, opening a more direct and trustworthy way of relating to what wants to emerge. By meeting experience in this way, patterns that have long felt fixed can begin to loosen, allowing more resourceful ways of being and responding to take root.

This work is grounded in the Aletheia Unfoldment Method,(https://steve-march.squarespace.com/what-is-the-unfoldment-paradigm) together with my broader background in contemplative practice and embodied inquiry. It is a non-pathologising, presence-based approach that brings together parts-oriented dialogue, somatic awareness, systems thinking, and philosophical inquiry.

People come to this work when facing decisions, transitions, creative blocks, questions of direction, or the sense that something important is asking for attention.

If this resonates, feel free to reach out to explore whether working together feels right.

Question 2

Learning & research design & facilitation

Accepted Answer

I work with universities and organisations to design and facilitate learning and research environments where people can orient toward what matters and move responsively in ambiguous and value-laden situations.

Rather than treating education as the transfer of established knowledge, these settings function as spaces for shared inquiry. Participants learn to stay with uncertainty, and draw on both careful analysis and embodied practices to make grounded decisions in the presence of social, ecological, and technological complexity.

One example of this is the Collective Futures MSc program (undefined)at the University of Amsterdam, which I co-designed and co-lead. There, students, researchers, and societal partners collaborate across disciplines on issues such as democratic resilience,(undefined) climate adaptation,(undefined) and PFAS pollution,(undefined) using the project itself as a site of learning, reflection, and experimentation.

My work combines methods for systems thinking, problem framing, and prioritisation, with embodied, dialogical practices that cultivate attentive presence, emotional attunement, and relational awareness. This keeps analytical reasoning connected to lived experience, enabling responses grounded in a fuller view of the whole situation.

I collaborate on curriculum and program design, workshop facilitation, and research processes where learning is not only about solving problems, but about cultivating the capacities needed to act responsibly in an uncertain world.

Question 3

Artistic practice

Accepted Answer

Artistic practice is part of how I explore listening, perception, and relationship through shared attention. I collaborate with two collectives working at the intersection of sound, embodied inquiry, and artistic research, often through residencies and community-based experimentation.

These settings work through improvisation and embodied listening, and sometimes extend into mutual aid and forms of cultural repair. They inform how I facilitate learning and research, especially where careful listening matters more than quick conclusions.

For an overview of past work in sound art and interactive installations, see.(https://www.jelgerkroese.com/archive)

Alongside collaborative projects, I make music and practice improvisational movement as ongoing forms of inquiry and play.
