LEAD | A Mastery Programme for conscious leaders
Master the art of energetic intelligence, trauma-aware and somatically-rooted transformational facilitation.
A professional training for facilitators, coaches, psychologists, personal developers, and conscious leaders.
What is LEAD?
LEAD came from the insight that my knowledge, gathered across a decade of retreats, 1:1 work, and global teachings, wasn’t meant to stay behind closed doors.
It was time to share it with the right people.
People who guide others.
People who want to bring both psychological depth and energetic precision into their work.
People who know there’s more than talking—there’s touching truth through the body, the field, the unseen.
I created LEAD for them.
For you.
LEAD bridges ancient energetic wisdom and modern psychology into a mastery-level path of transformational facilitation.
It is for the professional who wants to see deeper, hold stronger, and lead from a place of embodied clarity.
This is not a beginner’s course.
This is a programme from the inside out.
The kind that activates your innate capacity to hold, lead, and transform.
The kind that sharpens your seeing, stills your nervous system, and expands your impact.
Welcome to LEAD.
Where we lead together.

I learned how quickly I can go from 0 to 100%, and how that might land for others. I don’t want to change that core fire, but I can bring more softness, more presence.

The most valuable moment was when Karlijn role-played someone frozen by emotional intensity. She voiced what she felt—‘too much, too close, doesn’t help’—and I could feel how calm in her body impacted mine. It taught me how to tune in more gently, slow down, and be more.

LEAD as programme for refinement
LEAD is a high-level Leadership Alignment Programme—crafted for conscious facilitators, coaches, psychologists, spaceholders, and personal development seekers.
It weaves together psychology, energy work, trauma-awareness, and Tantric principles into a refined, embodied art of transformational facilitation.
Whether you work 1:1, in groups, in business, or in sacred ceremony, LEAD sharpens your intuition, calms your nervous system, and aligns your leadership from the inside out.
Each Masterclass Day focuses on a different facet of transformational work: from group psychology and quantum energetics to Tantric healing and evolutionary development.
With over 20 years of experience in the field, Karlijn brings depth, play, and razor-sharp clarity to this space of growth.
These aren’t just skills—they’re capacities that shape how you show up, listen, lead, and transform the spaces you enter. At LEAD, you will learn to:
Hold deeper, safer, and more effective 1:1 and group sessions
Master energetic awareness and Kundalini-based facilitation
Understand group psychology, projection, and power dynamics
Navigate trauma and resistance with compassion and precision
Strengthen your intuition and energetic literacy
Anchor your leadership in stillness, clarity, and presence
Lead from alignment—whether in sessions, boardrooms, or rituals
Hold transformative spaces in a wider context
Your facilitator |
Karlijn Kouwenhoven, MSc.
Psychologist, Tantra facilitator, transformational coach, leadership development & change consultant and founder of KABIRA.
LEAD is not just a training I facilitate—it’s a collection of decades of jewels of personal development from across the globe. It is a solid programme in which I’ve woven science, ritual, both energetics and knowledgeable leadership into something that breathes, lives, and truly transforms people. LEAD is my legacy in which I pass on the flame for others to build on existing knowledge and deepen their own practice.
A day of professional self-care and development.
