Meet the Team
Rachel and Tove have dedicated their lives to becoming a healing presence in the world. They believe that every being is sacred and entitled to the realization of their true nature. They are soul sisters who have been colleagues, co-teachers and advocates for their clients for many years.
They have studied and explored nonduality in its many forms for over 30 years and are indebted to the grounded path of Nondual Shamanism® that Jason Shulman has forged from his deep exploration into the nature of reality.

Meet Rachel Zimmer

Meet the Apprentices
Kitty Folmer
Kitty’s search for the truth and the meaning of life initially led her to study Psychology at the University of Amsterdam. As a psychologist she found we cannot fully heal if it’s only limited to talk therapy. Hence, she started on a new journey towards a broader spiritual path.
She attended the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, an intensive training program along with ASOS’s Nondual Kabbalistic Healing training. She continued her studies to include the Nondual Shaman work which inspires her to go beyond the ‘known’ and still be profoundly grounded in reality.
Currently Kitty has her own healing practice in Amsterdam. There she is also the founder of ‘Art is Alive’ where she teaches and inspires students to connect to art in a different way. She combines her love of art and her deep spiritual connection to all things to stimulate an innovative technique which encourages students to experience art on a deeper level. This unique technique allows for the hidden treasure of the art's masterpiece to be revealed and embodied. It is her passion to bring this work into world.
