ABOUT ME

Gordon Volckmer is Transformation Counsellor, Expert in Consciousness Development and Founder & Author of Nieuwetijds.com

My name is Gordon Volckmer, founder of Nieuwetijds (New times) , one of the first and largest consciousness platforms in the Netherlands. From this platform, I organise, develop and promote events, trainings and meditations together with spiritual entrepreneurs. Every week I write about love in my widely read column in the ‘Nieuwetijds’ newsletter.

From birth, I feel that all people are connected. However, it took a long time before I realised this unity consciousness. My childhood was lonely and painful due to my father’s absence and my mother’s severe mental health problems, which I was eager to support even at the expense of my own happiness. This is called parentification, when you take on a role as a child that does not suit your age or position in the family.

Over time, I learned to appreciate the richness of my childhood by taking responsibility for my own life, feelings, thoughts and behaviour. As a result, I developed strong intuition, a clear mind and a lot of compassion.

I am proud of my journey from loneliness to self-love and connection. In my career, I worked for more than ten years as a manager and coach within multinational companies and publishing houses, and six years in disability care. In 2009, I founded Nieuwetijds, a spiritual website to connect spirituality in the Netherlands and Belgium and provide a home for old souls who feel they are here to create a loving world.

A burnout in 2014 led to my full-time entrepreneurship. Nieuwetijds received millions of visitors and I organised many spiritual events with more than 30,000 participants. Thanks to Nieuwetijds, I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of entrepreneurs and give their work a stage. I experience it as an immense wealth to be able to connect professionally with so much love every day and to facilitate and surround it with care.

In my 1-on-1 sessions and workshops, I help people connect with their heart and soul so that they develop a loving perspective on themselves. I teach them to become ‘alchemists’, transforming their painful experiences and/or limiting beliefs into inner strength, self-confidence and love.

“There is little that brings as much freedom and happiness as taking responsibility for your life”
