The facilitator is a samenlevenskunstenaar and ensures that the research runs smoothly in a safe and pleasant atmosphere. The participants form a circle around the field in which there are six floor anchors, the fields of vision.
The supervisor works from these fields of vision:
It is always a snapshot in time. Dynamic, organic, agile.
Ebb and flow. As the sea recedes under the influence of the moon, the wave rolls back onto the beach and deposits its treasures there. How nice is that?
It's not finished either.... The words given help you take a moment to look inwards. So that you can increasingly live from the inside out and put the found treasures where they are needed.
Eye-Opener is a voyage of discovery that you can embark on with 1 - 12 people per session. During this voyage of discovery, you get to know yourself and each other better. Together, you share experiences and insights and so get to know yourself and others better. The facilitators focus on the six fields of vision: I Am, Me and the Other, Home and Hearth, Growth, Flowering and Playing Field. These fields give insight into the past, present and future of you and the other.
I am
Where are you from, how did you grow up, what positive and negative experiences do you carry with you? How does that define your current life? We also explore what you are good at and what you really want to do in this life. We will look at what fears you encounter in doing so. Do you dare to face these fears?
Me and the other
About the people who are part of your life. Are these relationships genuine from you and the other person's point of view? Do the people around you define a lot for you and what does that mean for you? Do you listen to the people close to you? When do you feel free among other people and what do you need for that? How do you build relationships and does this fit with who you are?
Home and Hearth
What place is safe and home for you. Is this a place you shape yourself? What is yours? Can you trust that this place is always there for you? What does the place look like, what things, colours and smells make your home? What do you need and what do you have too much of?
Growth
Take care of yourself and the planet. What you need to grow naturally and healthily? What basics do you need to grow? What nutrition? How much love? What space and air? Are you growing naturally? Do you feel rushed? Are you living at your own pace? Are you in balance? How diverse is your environment?
Flourish
What does it take to flourish. What are you good at? How do you make sure you can flourish? What makes your heart beat faster? What do you need to feel good? Do you make your dreams come true? What do you need to prosper from the people around you?
Playing field
What responsibilities do you have. With whom do you make appointments? How do you keep your appointments? How do you organise your life? Which responsibilities can you choose and which are imposed? Where do you need help, and from whom?
Guidance
The Blikopeners are guided by cohabitation artists, which are (former) students of the Cohabitation Art Course. These facilitators themselves have done extensive research based on the questions: Who am I? What can I do? What do I want? and How do I bring myself into the world around me?
Through this knowledge and experience, they are able to see, hear, appreciate and lovingly bring participants to new insights.
Cost
Based on the size of the group, the time span of the meeting, the number of meetings and the location, we agree on costs and settlement.

The Gaze Opener was created from the six keys of transformation as part of Economy Transformers' resource.
The gaze fields stem from a need for a more approachable form that is closer to personal growth.The Gaze Opener is proving to work fine across the full spectrum of society.
How do we make this important thinking accessible to children and their educators?
That was the question that occupied Makke Vollenhoven (pedagogue) for a long time, and it was the starting question for the “parenting art” working group she founded. This is where the wonderful and much broader word “growing up” came into being. Growing up is something we all always do, all our lives.
Can the six keys mean anything for growing up?
After long brooding, there was suddenly the long-awaited breakthrough when she put down other words (e.g. house and hearth instead of property) as floor anchors. Words close to our day-to-day lives....
That also immediately became the moment Pieter Hessel enthusiastically hooked up.
Together, Pieter and Makke are further developing the Blikopener into a workable tool. There is, also for us, still a lot to discover in it!
Makke and Pieter followed the “art of living together” course for three years and are using the Blikopener to make the way to free-equal living together possible for all people.
