A training about authentic ways of relating, feeling your feelings, setting boundaries, and living the life you want.
Do your life and relationships Feel flat, overwhelming, or both?
- You push yourself at work, in projects, or friendships, but end up feeling exhausted.
- You reject certain parts of yourself and feel disconnected from others.
- You long for authentic connection but struggle to find it in everyday life.
- You wish for more moments that feel alive, meaningful, and real.
“I am deeply grateful to Mette for planting the seeds... For creating a space where we could grow roots of authenticity and from there, dare to step into the world a little louder, a little freer, a little more unapologetically ourselves.”
— Dila (Path of Real Moments)
Instead, Would you like to...
- Feel safe & free in your body and express more of who you really are?
- Bring more depth, joy & realness into your days?
- Build authentic relationships that are genuine and nourishing?
- Grow inside a supportive community that celebrates you for showing up?
“The workshops felt like a secret hidden place in nature: warm, sunny, and safe. I felt relaxed and free, which created excitement and curiosity to explore.”
— Nora (Path of Real Moments)
Yes, it’s possible. How we approach this
I'm Mette Koppelaar, and together with my team we create supportive environments for learning, exploration, and play.
In The Path of Real Moments, you meet with the same group for ten evenings — learning together, building new skills, and supporting each other along the way. In between sessions, you can try new things in your everyday life. You experience community within the group while gradually shifting your life and relationships toward more connection and authenticity.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
Over these weeks, you’ll learn to feel the layers of my Pyramid of Permission in your body — and use them to be more authentic in your relationships and your life.
- Safety is the foundation
We start by helping you notice how safety and unsafety show up in your body and shape how you think, feel, and act. You’ll learn to recognize both outer safety (how safe you are in your circumstances and position in society) and inner safety (how safe you feel in your nervous system in a given moment). Both shape your ability to open up, express yourself, and have authentic relationships. - Permission comes next
We look at how much permission there is to express yourself—both around you and within you. Outer permission is how much room your environment, relationships, and circumstances give you to show your truth. Inner permission is how much room you give yourself, shaped by past experiences that taught you what to expect from the world. As both forms of permission grow, expressing yourself becomes less risky, less effortful, and more available in each moment. - Authenticity exists in the moment
Instead of trying to “become your most authentic self” (which is yet another story to live up to), we’ll invite you to get better at creating real moments: expressing your inner truth one moment at a time. This is a skill you can weave into your life & and it gets easier with pratice over the weeks. - Add depth with questioning
As you develop the skill and confidence to express yourself more authentically, it can be useful to also start questioning your inner experience. You’ll explore why certain situations trigger certain emotions, why you want what you want, judge the way you do, and think the way you think. This leads to deeper self-connection, more inner peace, and a fuller understanding of life.
The video below was recorded during one of my workshops and introduces the Pyramid of Permission. It shows how the pyramid forms the foundation for all the work we do.
Here’s the pyramid itself:
During the program, you’ll learn to notice how your nervous system is constanly scanning for danger — and how a single remark or facial expression can make it conclude you’re not safe.
You’ll start to see just how differently your system thinks, feels, and behaves when it’s in a state of unsafety versus a state of safety. This clarity alone can be life-changing.
You’ll develop an embodied understanding of how the different states of unsafety (as described in Polyvagal Theory) show up in you:
- Fight: pushing yourself, overreacting, getting angry, blaming, or feeling superior.
- Flight: avoiding situations or people, doom-scrolling, or distracting yourself.
- Freeze: wanting to act but feeling unable to do so.
- Collapse: feeling numb, disconnected, alone, ashamed, anxious, or unable to get out of bed.
- Fawn: people-pleasing, trying to keep the peace, being sexually available, or pretending you’re fine.
The goal is to recognize these states in your body as they happen — which is very different from remembering the words in your head. From there, you’ll learn self- and co-regulation tools to bring your system back to safety. This makes authentic expression and real connection possible again.
Instead of letting your nervous system run your life in the background, you’ll learn to meet its needs, return to safety, and actually choose what you want to do.

(There’s also a detailed video about the nervous system states in the resources, available once you sign up.)
The goal of this program isn’t to become a “fully authentic person” or to express every part of yourself all the time. Rather, it’s to notice how much safety and permission is available to you in each moment — and to develop different ways of expressing yourself when it feels right. One moment at a time.
In ways that feel authentic to you, and attuned to those around you, you'll be invited to:
- Say what you think
- Express what you feel
- Do what you truly want to do
- Honor your the needs and boundaries of your body
How we help you build inner permission:
- We’ll co-create outer permission
Together, we build a supportive environment where your vulnerable, authentic expression is welcome. - We’ll invite you to express yourself
Through words, emotions, saying no, following your desires, making sound, breathing, movement, physical appearance, or physical interaction. - You’ll meet your inner limitations
No matter how much safety and permission we create, you’ll still encounter the inner limits shaped by your upbringing, lived experiences, identity, and the societal structures that restrict certain expressions or identities. - You’ll gently challenge yourself
By creating real moments and taking the risks that feel right to you, you’ll experience that you can reveal more of yourself and still be safe, loved, and part of the group. These ‘little victories.’ grow your inner sense of safety and permission — and show you that much more is possible than your current belief system allows. You expand your inner safety and permission, one experience at a time.

- 00:18:22 — 5 weekends, 5 perspectives
- 00:24:36 — Group conversation
This program isn’t about fixing or changing who you are. It’s about developing the skills, courage, and sensitivity to welcome and express more of who you are already. You’ll learn things like:
- Framing
Set intentions and make agreements about how you want to relate — in a given relationship, for a specific evening, or during an important conversation. - Naming
Describe your inner experience moment by moment. This helps you understand yourself better, welcome what’s happening inside without judging it, communicate without hidden agendas, and build a shared reality with others. - Communication structures
Use simple structures to make difficult conversations easier. You’ll learn structures for revealing what you’ve been holding in, expressing emotions, negotiating desires, giving appreciation, discussing what’s working or not working, reality-checking your stories and fears, and more. - Repair
Learn to repair when something went “wrong.” As you get better at this, connection no longer depends on perfection. You’ll feel empowered to come back together after challenging moments. Over time, the cycle of rupture and repair can create more safety and closeness than if nothing had gone wrong in the first place.
It’s a gradual process
If this all sounds good in theory but part of you doubts whether you can actually make it happen, know that it starts with two things: the awareness that you want something different, and the willingness to try. From there, it takes time and practice, but the small steps add up to big change.
Each time we meet, you can use the safety and permission of the group to build more safety and permission within yourself. You’ll experiment with specific ways of expressing yourself (related to that week’s theme), make mistakes, learn from them, and grow your skills and confidence.
In between sessions, you’ll start bringing what you’ve learned into your daily life. You’ll practice in social contexts that match your capacity, take small risks, and slowly form new habits. Over time, expressing yourself authentically becomes easier and more natural. Eventually, you’ll be able to use your new skills in the more complex parts of your life.
What is the Path of Real Moments?
The word “path” refers to two different things:
- Life itself is a path, moment to moment, and every moment has the potential to become a ‘real moment.’
- Learning to create real moments is also a path — it happens one experience at a time. Each of these experiences are meaningful in themselves, without the need to reach any end goal.
How the course unfolds:
The first half of the course focuses on outer expression — learning to honor or act on your inner truth.
The second half focuses on inner truth — learning to question your experience more deeply.
First half: Outer Expression
After we create a supportive container for exploration, we start with the basics: creating real moments by honoring your inner truth. You’ll learn to find safety in your nervous system, and build permission to express yourself. From there, you’ll practice noticing, welcoming, and expressing specific aspects of your experience while staying attuned to those around you. You’ll learn to navigate situations from one moment to the next, and develop the skills and courage to face a wide range of situations.
-
Week 1: Honor your Thoughts
Wed 4 Feb 2026
We’ll invite you to explore various ways of speaking your mind while staying attuned to others. You’ll learn to use honest communication as a way to connect with others and get to know yourself. -
Week 2: Honor your Emotions
Thu (!) 12 Feb 2026
This week is about emotions: releasing, regulation, and communication. You’ll explore when each of these approaches is helpful, and gain some experience with each of them. -
Week 3: Honor your Desires
Wed 18 Feb 2026 (different venue)
You’ll explore recognizing, welcoming, and expressing your boundaries and desires. By playing with different ways of communicating what you want, you can learn to stay in connection with people — even when they don’t want the same things. -
Week 4: Honor your Body
Wed 25 Feb 2026
This week is all about the body: responding to your physical needs, expressing yourself through movement and appearance, and having physical interactions that feel true to the moment. -
Week 5: Integration
Wed 4 Mar 2026
A week for integrating and revisiting key topics before we shift to the next phase of the course.
Second half: Inner Truth
In the second half, we shift toward questioning your inner truth as a way to understand your experience more deeply.
Rather than assuming your thoughts, emotions, and desires are “true,” you’ll use experimentation and self-reflection to uncover how your past conditioning shapes your experience in the here and now.
Together with honoring, this creates more freedom and flexibility in each moment.
-
Week 6: Question your Body
Wed 11 Mar 2026
You’ll question your relationship with your body by exploring how expectations and cultural conditioning shape your beliefs about your body, physical needs, and the way you physically interact with others. -
Week 7: Question your Desires
Wed 18 Mar 2026
You’ll get to challenge what you think you want, and distinguish between genuine desires and coping mechanisms. You’ll explore which wants and goals have been shaped by societal expectations — and develop empathy for the conflicting desires of others. -
Week 8: Question your Emotions
Wed 25 Mar 2026
You’ll explore how your emotional responses to specific situations are shaped by your conditioning and previous experiences. You’ll deepen your emotional honoring practice by taking ownership of your emotional responses, recognizing unhealthy emotional patterns, and exploring how to transform them into healthier equivalents. -
Week 9: Question your Thoughts
Wed 1 Apr 2026
You’ll explore how your culture, upbringing, and conditioning shape your judgments, beliefs, and perception of the world. As you connect with the subjectivity of your inner world, you may find more openness to the views and experiences of others. -
Week 10: Final integration
Wed 8 Apr 2026
Our final session will focus on integrating the journey and closing the container together.
“I was able to reflect on myself again and again. The positive environment made practicing so much easier, and I’ve continued to develop.”
— Franzi Redeker (Path of Real Moments)

Mette Koppelaar (1984, they/them)
I see authentic self-expression as a doorway to welcoming all parts of myself, building deeper connection, and shaping a more loving world. It helps to:
- Let go of unhealthy coping mechanisms.
- Rely less on consumption to feel good.
- Be open to connecting with a broader range of people.
- Discover meaning in everyday life.
As a facilitator, I create spaces where people from diverse identities can be true to themselves, build trust, and contribute to a culture of freedom and care. I use frameworks like:
- The Pyramid of Permission (developed by me)
- Polyvagal Theory
- Internal Family Systems
- Wheel of Consent
- Nonviolent Communication
- Diamond Approach
- Buddhism
My approach is simple: when there’s enough outer safety and permission to express yourself, you’ll meet the edges of your inner safety and permission. Having positive experiences at your edges, you can slowly become more comfortable with a wider range of expression. Over time, this allows you to reveal more of yourself in more areas of life.
My lens and ambition
I was born in Amsterdam in 1984. I’m white, able-bodied, middle-class, and gender nonconforming, using they/them or he/him pronouns. I grew up with safety and stability, with parents who spent years in group therapy before I was born. I haven’t faced war or poverty, and my passport allows me to travel freely—privileges I’m increasingly aware of.
At the same time, dressing outside gender norms has shown me what it’s like to not always feel safe on the street. Research, book interviews, and many personal conversations have deepened my understanding of societal oppression—especially for those whose identities are most targeted.
What began as a search for personal freedom has turned into a deep longing for a free, just, and equal world. It’s what I strive to contribute to in my work and daily life—one real moment at a time.

“It’s really not that cold!”
– some annoying person who jumped in the water before you
Many people spiral back and forth between yes and no. But not all spirals are the same. Here are two types of doubts people tell me about:
Maybe you worry about having to do certain things or fear not fitting in; maybe you need some details about the sleeping situation; maybe you wonder if this is just a gigantic orgy (it's not); or maybe you just want to make sure you like me (Mette) as a person?
A short call Zoom call with me will likely give you more clarity than days of thinking about it. Look into my calendar and book a call
I promise it's not a sales call. I genuinely enjoy talking to people who are drawn to my work, whether you end up joining or not. We can talk about the retreat or about a challenge in your life. We can make small-talk, be sad about the state of the world together, or have laugh. It's up to you. Just scroll down and choose a time.
1. Actual life concerns:
- “I have wayyyyy too many things going on. Adding something will send me straight into a burnout.”
- “I know it’s not the right time, but I fear this is my last chance!”
- “I'm really low on cash, and spending more money will affect my ability to pay rent or buy food.”
If this is you, then now is probably not the best time to join. (Maybe read about nervous system regulation through shaking on my Telegram.)
2. Fear of doing something new:
- “Part of me is excited! But I’m also a little afraid”
- “I have little experience in these spaces — and I fear I’ll be the only one.”
- “I don’t yet know anyone there — and I fear I’ll feel awkward or alone.”
This is what I call “normal” fear or resistance. So, at the risk of sounding persuasive, here’s my take on it:
- You won’t be the only inexperienced one. Most participants don’t yet know each other. Rather, we all start to form a deep bond over the course of experience. That’s the beauty!
- Many people have these kinds of fears — especially the first time. In fact, it’s almost prerequisite for joining because it shows you’re on your edge of growth.
- Sometimes, it’s helpful to stop overthinking, remember that you can always leave, and take a leap of faith. Often, the annoying person turned out to be right: the water really isn’t that cold.
Break the spiral by having a chat with me on Zoom. In 15-20 minutes, you’ll likely find more clarity than after days of thinking about it. We can talk about the retreat, a specific challenge in your life, or simply make small-talk and have a laugh.
Free, online calls to:
- Get a sense of me (Mette) and my facilitation style

Yes, we take this seriously: Values & accountability
How we take responsibility for the space:
The following values are the foundation for all my work. If these don't resonate with you, then we may not be a match. Of course, these values are always a work in progress. If something about them doesn’t feel right, or if you have ideas for improvement, I would love to hear from you. Message me on Telegram or through the contact form.
If it ever feels like I or any of the team members don't live up to these values, I would love for you to tell me.
1. Authenticity: Everyone's invited to verbally, physically, and emotionally express themselves. We can play with our expression without justifying ourselves, yet we strive to do so in a way that’s considerate of other people.
2. Inclusivity: We welcome all identities and personal backgrounds. We try to notice the judgments and assumptions we make about others, and question racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or other discriminatory beliefs or behavior.
3. Consent: We respect each other's space, stuff, boundaries and privacy. We share a responsibility to create a safe environment for ourselves as well as for others.
4. Confidentiality: We don’t share about other people’s experiences. We don’t comment on other people’s experiences without their consent.
5. Self and group responsibility: We try to be aware of the ways in which we take up space and strive to contribute to the safety of the group. We’re all responsible for our own physical and emotional needs.
6. No sex or romance with team members: Team members don't share arousal, sexual energy, or romance with participants. (We might like to share hugs or other forms of touch though!)
7. No intoxication: We don't consume drugs and alcohol during or before the event, and limit the use of phones/devices in public spaces.
Not all experiences in these kinds of spaces are pleasant—even when everyone tries to do things right.
If you have an unpleasant experience with a team member or fellow participant, I encourage you to reach out to them directly. Alternatively, you're very welcome to contact me (Mette) via Telegram or the contact form, or to contact any other team member. I/we may be able to support you and won’t take any action without your consent.
If you have an unpleasant experience with me (Mette), you're invited to reach out to me directly, contact another team member, or approach my accountability partner Anouk Bongers. She won't communicate with me unless you consent to it. You can find her contact details here.
If you’re still carying something that happened a long time ago, I want to acknowledge that it can take time to process certain experiences. Sometimes months or years. The offer above remains valid. There’s no such thing as reaching out too late.
(To see the actual prices, click here)
Working independently in a sustainable way comes with many invisible costs. Because event prices in this field are sometimes perceived as “high” or “commercial”, I want to be transparent about how they are calculated — and how different price levels work out for me.
| The fully sustainable price (incl. VAT) | €1178 |
| If I let go of... | The price is... |
| Nothing | €1178 |
| Attending trainings & events to improve & promote my work | €1065 |
| Taking vacation | €952 |
| Taking time off on public holidays | €907 |
| Taking time off when I'm sick | €862 |
| Being insured for when I truly can't work | €816 |
| Saving up for business challenges | €698 |
| Saving up for my pension | €463 |
| Adding to my personal savings | €345 |
I will still choose to take time off when I’m sick and take vacation. Not having the full income means that when I do these things, I have to take that money from savings or pension.
I don’t expect everyone to pay the full price
Most people won’t — and that’s OK.
I just want to make visible that when someone pays less, the difference has to come from somewhere. For example: if twenty people each ask for €75 discount, that means I'll either need to find a donor or take €1.500 out of my savings/pension.
Some reflective questions you can consider:
- Do you have a job, savings, financial support, a family you can rely on, or time to make some money on the side?
- Do you have stable housing, citizenship, and good health? Do you frequently systemic oppression and discrimination?
- Can you afford to spend time and money on eating out, events, yoga, vacation — or does most of your money go into housing, food, and health?
- How many people depend on you financially — such as children, sick family members, or family abroad?
- Knowing what this program can contribute to your life, is there truly no way to source the money? Or does it mainly feel like a lot?
The actual calculation:
If you’d like to understand the prices in more detail, here’s a description of the calculation:
- I aim to work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. Out of those hours, roughly 40% of my time goes into things like admin, general promotion, and other general tasks. This means I have around 24 hours per workweek to make my income.
- On a yearly basis, I have to account for vacation, sick days, public holidays, festivals where I work for free to make a name for myself, and the time I spend on training that lets me do this work in a responsible, trauma-informed way. Which leaves me with around 38 work weeks per year.
- This means I have to make my entire annual income in 24 x 38 = 912 hours per year, or 76 hours per month.
- Besides the time investment, I spend money on overhead costs for my business, renting the venue, paying team members, and buying materials I need for running the program. Depending on how signups are going, I might have to spend money on online promotion, printing flyers, etc.
- While this enables more people to come to the event, the impact on me is that I have a very low salary and very little security: I basically cut out all of my safety nets. I don't save money, I don't save up for a pension, and I don't have disability insurance. This works as long as I'm healthy, have access to cheap housing, and don't have kids or anyone else to care for. But it offers very little security—now and later in life—and I would be properly screwed whenever I have any medical challenges.
So yes — it's complex...
Thank you for reading all this. If you want to share your reflections—or make a financial donation to support me in offering this work at a price that others can afford—you can message me on Telegram or through the contact form.
Most of the workshop photos were taken by Mio Schweiger. The portraits, group photos, and space photos were taken by others.
