Recommendations I never experienced an intervention so profound and enlightening. These days gave me new valuable insights and energy that changed my attitude towards life. Saskia van der Mey An inspiring journey into the field of non-‐verbal communication and into your own unconscious mind. Lessons to never forget. A recommendation to all who want to improve themselves in various ways. Bo Suchy I’ve done every self-‐development course you can think of, from NLP to Voice Dialogue, from applied kinesiology to hypnosis. Four days with Annemieke brought me at a deeper level than all those combined. If I were stranded in a jungle and could only bring Michiel, I would have the time of my life! Tijl Koenderink
A lot has happened in these four days; I felt I have been away for at least ten. The combination of intense individual work, osteopathy and walks in the mountains is an excellent recipe. It brought me closer to my base. Robert Steenhof
The Peaks and Valley Seminar is a 4-‐day intensive workshop meant for anyone who wants to get more insight into their personal strategies, as well as insight in recognizing personal strategies in others, through verbal and nonverbal communication.
In addition, the participant will have the opportunity to actively work on reviewing and adapting their personal strategy towards a more efficient way of working. The unique Personal Nonverbal Repertoire becomes the guide to understanding previously learned decisions and strategies. With the use of video techniques, as well as the use of body oriented work, the perceived "logic”, subsequent decisions and strategies that made for the unique approaches to daily living are revealed; individual work is done towards a more effective strategy.
You are invited to join the professional workshop of Annemieke Meurs, specialist in nonverbal communication analysis. She will introduce you to the most interesting world of nonverbal communication as well as guide you through your change process over the weekend.
Michiel Karels will lead walks in the surrounding hills.
Marjanne Karels will participate as osteo-‐pathy expert throughout the entire weekend. Antoinette Hoek will help the participants as Senior Goodfield Coach.

The INSA Method Nonverbal communication plays a very important role in personal interaction. Many of the messages that people communicate to each other are influenced more by non-verbal elements than by what is actually said. The higher the level of stress, the more prevalent nonverbal communication will be. Most people are (partly) aware of some elements of non-verbal communication. You can be aware of your posture (sitting, standing, leaning back, arms folded on the table etc.) and whether you establish eye contact with another or not. However, the more stressful the interaction situation becomes, the less likely you are to be aware of it. The countless rapid and subtle movements in the face are a good example. Combined, these micro movements make up our facial expressions, which most of us can recognize. In their subtlety and intensity they provide a lot of information about what actually happens during interaction, beside the exchange of words. Nonverbal communication may be largely unconscious, but its impact on interaction is nonetheless very intense and strong. Our own research into non-verbal interaction has shown that people influence each other in moments lasting only a fraction of a second. In the Workshop you will become more aware of your unconscious influence on others and on others' influence on yourself.
Weekend of personal change Life is full of challenges! In some stages of our lives we go through changes. These changes can be inside of ourselves or come from the external world we live in. It is not always easy to abandon a way of life, an old strategy, and exchange it for a better and more effective way of living. It is like abandoning an ‘old room’ and move into ‘a new room’, full of uncertainties and challenges. This weekend is designed to help you realize the reality that you live in, look at your personal strengths and needs, let go of old strategies that no longer fit into your life and focus on your priorities in your life. It is built up in 4 steps of this change process: Awakening: realization of your deep, often unconscious messages, through video analysis and conversation Priorities: what is important to you, where do you want to go, and what is your focus? Letting go: face the obstacles that you experience through body oriented work and deal with them Integration: of the changes you have made during the weekend into your life
Mind, Body and Nature We believe that the body and mind are one functioning system. If you want to change an aspect in yourself, look at the reality you live in, think about it, talk about it and re-establish a new balance in yourself, what could be better than to do this in the mountains, away from your day to day life and combine it with walks in the nature? We are dedicated to this change process and believe that it is fun, interesting and extremely valuable for each one of us. Accomodation The seminar is residential. Your stay and meals are included in the Seminar; costs of drinks are not included.

Marjanne Karels is a Dutch Osteopath who
has her own practice in Holland. She has extensive knowledge of the function of the body and the balance and imbalance of the different systems. The body is one system, where everything works together. Life’s experiences are imprinted throughout the entire body and can have positive as well as negative effects. Blockages can develop and we start to compensate for the imbalance in our system. This is how illnesses and chronic pain and problems develop. Marjanne works with the body to bring back its natural movements and function and a natural balance is restored. Marjanne has a deep interest and understanding in human function.
Annemieke Meurs is a non-‐verbal strategy analyst and coach. Throughout her professional career she was always fascinated by the body and mind connection.

Her interest in psychology, plus her years of experience in physiology resulted in her decision to study with Prof. Goodfield, an American psychologist and profiler. In recent years she has become a specialist in nonverbal communication, assessing people's strategies from repetitive facial movements, and training professionals from various fields to acquire this skill. She also uses the Goodfield Method in coaching and therapy. Currently she is Managing Partner at INSA, Institute of Nonverbal Analysis in The Netherlands, a center of expertise, specializing in nonverbal behavior, team-‐analysis, training and consultancy. INSA currently conducts academic research together with the University of Amsterdam. The unconscious shows through our face and body. The true meaning of what we really believe and feel. The most beautiful aspect of this method is the integration of body and mind and the powerful changes that can achieve by understanding and unlocking the potential we all have.
