De essentie van deze ontwikkelweg is om je eigen begeleiderswerk te verbreden, verdiepen en vernieuwen. Deze ontwikkelweg biedt ruimte en tijd om in het licht van Gelijk-Vrij-Samen en de Zes Sleutels te zoeken naar het verder ontwikkelen en verankeren van jouw werk als begeleider.
Deze ontwikkelweg is er voor mensen die een begeleiders-praktijk hebben én daarin een ontwikkel-behoefte hebben.
Deelname aan de leergang Samenlevenskunst is gewenst, uitzonderingen hierop in afstemming.
Je kunt in deze ontwikkelruimte eigenaar worden van je eigen ontwikkeling. Het fundament onder deze ontwikkelweg zijn onder andere doorleefde ervaringen en inzichten van de begeleiders Damaris en Jennifer, gekoppeld aan Vrij-Gelijk-Samen en de Zes Sleutels. Zij zullen desgewenst kunnen overdragen wat zij beleefd en ervaren hebben en ruimte maken voor jouw eigen onderzoek om de Zes Sleutels te herscheppen vanuit wie jij bent en wat jij wilt in je praktijk.
Alle opgedane inzichten en ervaringen zijn van iedereen zelf. Er bestaat geen intellectueel eigendom op de oefeningen. Wel nodigen we je uit onder Creative Commons Relations met ons in verbinding te blijven na deze ontwikkelweg. Dit betekent dat we je vragen je blijvend – voor zolang het dient – aan te sluiten bij onze Bron en deze te blijven voeden en verdiepen. Hiertoe zullen wij in de toekomst momenten creëren van terugkomst en herverbinden met de groep begeleiders die gebruik maken van de Bron van Economy Transformers.
Je vragen je eigenaarschap te nemen over je eigen ervaringen, inzichten en schaduwen en spreekt vanuit je IK waarmee we algemeenheden en theoretiseren voorkomen.
We sluiten aan bij de behoeften in de groep en gaan zo snel als we gaan. De natuur is onze spiegel daarin. We richten ons op ieder individu die met zijn/haar creativiteit in staat is alles wat nu al is, weer te vernieuwen. Alles mag sterven wat wil sterven en daar houden we oog voor.
De plek waar we deze training houden is Utrecht.
Oefenruimte voor eigen creativiteit én het oefenen met bestaande methodieken.
Ruimte om te leren scheppen en vernieuwen met de sleutels als inspiratiebron en / of als richting gevend daarin.
Meer helderheid over jouw plek als begeleider en over waar je jouw energie op wil richten en hoe je je wilt verhouden binnen jouw ecosysteem.
Je doet wijsheid, kennis, inhoud en ervaringen op die jouw begeleiderspraktijk van dienst kunnen zijn.
We komen 7 keer bij elkaar, maandelijks, start oktober 2025.
De data zijn: 15 okt, 12 nov, 10 dec, 14 januari, 11 februari, 11 maart en 15 april.
De tijden zijn: 9.30 inloop. Van 10.00 tot 17.00 met een lunch tussen 13.00 en 14.00.
We hanteren de volgende drie uitgangstarieven. Aan de deelnemer om zelf te bepalen wat het gepaste tarief is.
Dit tarief is BTW vrij gesteld, daarom zal er ook een verbintenis getekend worden voorafgaand aan de training.
Een intakegesprek online en een nagesprek waarin een mogelijk vervolg van de verbinding besproken wordt is inbegrepen.
Na deze ontwikkelweg is er de mogelijkheid tot het aangaan van een BondGenootschap. Dit BondGenootschap wordt mede door jouw vragen en behoefte ontwikkeld. Dit is wat wij nu zien als bondgenoot:

Wat je geeft:
Van Bijnkershoeklaan 10, 3527 XL Utrecht.
Ik maak de intenties van ondernemen en samenwerken beleefbaar en begeleid ze naar praktische vormen.
De rode draad in mijn leven is het zoeken naar structuren die levengevend zijn.
Alle informatie die we verstrekken is altijd waarheidsgetrouw en accuraat. Mocht je vragen hebben of iets willen delen, je kunt altijd bellen of mailen. Vóór je je inschrijft raden we je aan om de oriëntatiedag te doen. Als je overweegt om in te stappen, doen we ook een intake-gesprek. Ook tijdens deelname kun je altijd bellen of mailen of een afspraak maken voor een persoonlijk gesprek. Alles wat we bespreken blijft altijd onder ons.
All lecturers live what they teach, so they are experts by experience in their field and, moreover, they are always approachable.
Van te voren, tijdens en na de training is helder wat docenten en deelnemers van elkaar kunnen verwachten. Er zijn intake-gesprekken, tussengesprekken en evaluatiegesprekken. Als er onduidelijkheden zijn, kan er altijd gebeld of gemaild worden.
Als je op deze link klinkt, vind je een voorbeeld van een Verbintenis voor de Leergang Eigentijds Ondernemen: Commitment.
The teachers stand by the quality of their lessons and are accountable for it. Participants get out what they put in. If teachers feel that participants are not putting in enough, they will be lovingly addressed. Teachers and participants walk a path together in connection with themselves, each other and the whole.
The aim of all Economy Transformers' courses and trainings is to provide tools for participants to help themselves blossom socially to make the whole more beautiful, better, truer. Everyone helps each other in this process. Life itself is the examiner. Because we observe each other during the process, we will motivate, encourage, stand by each other in time. As Economy Transformers, we will never test or examine. However, we do ask participants to regularly present their development.

Economy Transformers Academy is CRKBO-registered. This means we meet quality requirements in the field of short vocational education.
Our registration guarantees that we act carefully, reliably and transparently, and that our courses match the needs of our participants. To the right, we explain the quality requirements step by step, so you can get an idea of the journey to and through the Cohabitation Art Course 😉
And you have the books Free, Equal & Togetherness of Damaris Matthijsen and The Fourth Scenario by Jac Hielema and listened to all the podcasts already. Then you can sign up for a meeting night Economy Transformers comes to you or an Orientation Day Learning Walk Together. To get to know the teachers' working methods and potential fellow participants.
You are welcome to bring yourself in with any questions and answers you may have. You can always contact Jac Hielema, see: contact.
Then make an appointment with Jac Hielema for a one-to-one intake interview.
During that meeting, we will get to know each other better and discuss the Commitment you will be emailed in advance, see: Commitment.
During the interview, Jac Hielema asks if you are willing to meet the participation conditions, article 24. But more on that later.
First things first:
During the Samenlevenskunst Leergang, you will learn about the so-called Six Keys to Transition, among other things. Apart from the fact that you can set your own learning objectives each year, which the teachers align their lessons to, there are also general learning objectives of the Living Together Course. These are them using those six keys:
General learning objective of the Living Together Course
The Samenlevenskunst course guides you on a profound voyage of discovery into how you as a human being, with your unique qualities and inner strength, can contribute to a human and Earth-worthy society. Through the six keys you will learn:
The Course helps you not only understand these six keys, but also live them. You grow into a Collaborative Life Artist: someone who embodies and realises both personal and social renewal from love and trust.
Prior knowledge in any field is not necessary. The starting point every time is the person as he or she is here and now, including her/his thoughts and feelings, in the reality as it is here and now. No more and no less. However, each participant is asked to meet the following conditions:
These are the participant conditions:
Participant declares that he/she:
a. is willing to reflect on his/her own thinking and actions,
b. feel a desire to get one or more ideals clear and realise them alone or with others,
c. be willing to form a safe bed with fellow participants in which everything can be explored, discussed, questioned, named and done that is necessary to realise the above goals.
Participant should be familiar with the complaints procedure:
The complaints procedure can be found here: complaints mechanism. And is based on the premise: we will work it out together and otherwise find someone we both trust and ask her/him to act as mediator.
Participant may rely on the confidentiality clause:
Everything that is discussed during the intake interview, lessons, interim talks, talks during exercises and the evaluation interview may be shared with third parties. It is hereby expressly requested to speak with integrity and discretion about all involved and situations.
The teachers and assistants lovingly and carefully exchange their observations and experiences with and about the participants. This is done with the aim of gaining an ever better understanding of each participant's learning needs and capacities, so that guidance can be best tailored to them.
How do we together ensure a safe atmosphere during lessons?
During classes, and in fact at every Economy Transformers meeting, we adhere to the following guidelines:
Safety guidelines for the Living Together Course:
1. I am
2. Value
3. Property
4. Organisation
5. Relationship
6. Earth
Lock
We are aware that perfection does not exist and that we will sometimes deviate from these guidelines. We do not see this as a failure, but as an opportunity to learn and practice forgiveness, both for ourselves and for each other. Together, we work to create a safe and inspiring environment where everyone can come into their own.
During the intake interview, we also discuss the price. In the first year, Everyone can choose between three prices. And if the right price is not among them, we can make other arrangements.
The creation of the second- and third-year awards is part of the process.
You can pay the price for the Course in one, two or three instalments.
We can also agree another payment arrangement on the spot. However, we do strive to strike the right balance between give and take.
During the 2025/2026 school year, Damaris Matthijsen and Jac Hielema will be delivering a Samenlevenskunst (Art of Living Together) course for the tenth year. In other words, they have been delivering for ten consecutive years without interruption. They take full responsibility for the quality of the course. There is regular evaluation, formal and informal. All criticism, tips, questions, comments and proposals are taken seriously and taken into account in the further development of the Course in the Art of Living Together. However, decisions are made by Jac and Damaris, who will always substantiate and explain them if required.
Even if, after the intake interview, you are not yet sure whether you want to step in and join, you can at least participate in the first meeting. After the first meeting, we ask you to make a decision. So that at the second meeting we will have formed a permanent group in which we will do the year.
Of course, anyone can always decide to drop out anyway for all kinds of reasons. Up to and including the fifth meeting, you will receive a partial refund of the tuition fee.
Do you have any questions or want to share anything else? You can do so by emailing Jac Hielema: [email protected] or to call him: 06-14687873
Kind regards,
Damaris & Jac
Listed below are the four scenarios, based on what is in Free, Equal & Togetherness and The Fourth Scenario is described:
The capitalist scenario (First Scenario)
The socialist scenario (Second Scenario)
The mixed scenario (Third Scenario)
The free scenario (Fourth Scenario)
With these four scenarios, The Fourth Scenario a clear contrast between existing social systems and a forward-looking, regenerative approach.
Hier is een beknopte uitleg van de zes sleutels zoals deze aan bod komen voor Gelijk, Vrij, Samenwerken (naar het boek Free, Equal & Togetherness van Damaris Matthijsen):
I am – Ondernemen vanuit de essentie
Value – Value creation independent of financial compulsion
Property – Land, labour and capital at the service of the whole
Organisation – Cooperation based on equality
Relationship – Connection based on trust and openness
Earth – Cooperation with nature instead of exploitation
Deze zes sleutels vormen samen een raamwerk voor het bouwen van een rechtvaardige, duurzame en menswaardige samenleving. Ze helpen zowel individuen als organisties en gemeenschappen om bewust en in harmonie met zichzelf, anderen en de Aarde te leven.
When the six keys are not applied consciously and in connection, they create shadow keys. These can be divided into two main patterns:
Fear (Shadow of ‘I am’)
Hatred (Shadow of ‘Value’)
Doubt (Shadow of ‘Property’)
Dynamics:
When fear, hatred and doubt rule man too much, it creates three false strategies as ways of dealing with them. These shadows disfigure our relationship to Earth, relationship and organisation.
False surrender (Shadow of ‘Earth’)
False power (Shadow of ‘Relationship’)
False hope (Shadow of ‘Organisation’)
The key to transformation lies in awareness and taking responsibility:
By applying the six keys consciously and in connection, a human- and Earth-worthy society can emerge.
The Contemporary Entrepreneurship course guides you on a profound journey of discovery into how you as a human being, with your unique qualities and inner strength, can contribute to a human- and Earth-worthy society. This requires not only developing the six keys, but also seeing through and transforming the shadow keys that can keep you from doing so.
Through these six keys, you will learn:
The Cohabitation Art Course helps you not only understand the six keys, but also live them, by actively working on seeing through and transforming the shadows that can block them.
You grow into a Collaborative Life Artist: someone who with love and trust embodies and realises not only personal but also social innovation.
