In 1989 I met Irene Lutz and Marion Hoensbroech in
Türnich near Cologne. Irene wanted to develop a method for
healing sick forests at a distance and at scale. For
twenty-five years she had had a large practice as a natural
healer in Frankfurt and knew like no other the possibilities
of working with life energy. Her friend Marion “Countess”
Hoensbroech provided the financing and the contacts. There
was an immediate click. They were both looking for a
biologist to set up and lead scientific research into the
effects of the treatment. I would also learn the method,
reading the energy of trees and balancing forests at a
distance. The challenge appealed to me! I resigned from my
job at the Louis Bolk Institute in Driebergen and left for
Germany to help with the development of resonance therapy.
I met Rijk Bols in 1990. In 1994 she came to work at the
Institute for Resonance Therapy that had in the meantime
been established by Irene and Marion. She had soon taken
over Irene’s work. This primarily involved testing the
projects and carrying out the balancing at a distance. We
both left the IRT in 1998. In 2001 the Institute closed.
The Institute for Resonance Therapy was a tough learning
experience for both of us. I travelled all over the place to
visit projects and Rijk balanced them until she literally
collapsed. There were projects in the Netherlands, Belgium,
Germany, France, Austria, Spain, England, Scotland, Czech
Republic and Russia. In the beginning these projects
involved “small” woods of 100 hectares, but this quickly
increased to 20,000 ha in the UNESCO biosphere reserve
Krivoklat in the Czech Republic, with the grand finale being
40,000 ha in the Niznesvirsky Reserve north of St.
Petersburg. Michael Gorbatsjov was the client for the latter
project. There were positive results nearly everywhere:
personal reports of people generally doing better, but also
volumes of hard, significant scientific proof of increased
vitality.
Rijk and I both knew very well what could be achieved
with balancing at a distance. Alongside the huge
possibilities, we also knew very well how it shouldn’t be
done. What we realized pretty soon was that the method
worked fantastically, but at the cost of our own health. We
also saw that the people on location were happy with the
results but that at the end of the process no-one knew how
to keep the energy aligned. There was no engagement and no
personal responsibility.
I describe my learning and experiences with resonance
therapy in the book “In Resonance with Nature”. It came out
in 1999. The idea was to show people how you could
positively energize your own work and living environments
with a so-called energetic toolkit. This is where
ECOintention came from. ECOintention is just as powerful as
resonance therapy was - more powerful in fact, as the phase
of “trial and error” is behind us. We now know exactly what
we are doing and fortunately it doesn’t damage our health
any more.
Working with energy at this level is no child’s play. It
is wonderful but it demands significant inner development.
That is why we always tell our trainees to “do more with
less” and to balance with “consciousness, commitment and
care”. Intuitive development is compulsory. It is simply the
time for these great possibilities in people’s consciousness
to emerge and for large numbers of people to be able to
learn to heal at a large scale. The Earth desperately needs
it. Our working and living environments could really do with
it. And there is the fact that the Andeweg family is
composed largely of educators and teachers – teaching is in
my genes and I just really enjoy it!
Irene Lutz had very high ambitions. She was ultimately
looking to heal the “organism Europe”. We also worked at
that level. At that time an energetic analysis of Europe was
carried out and based on that we started working on
energetically important sites. The idea appealed to a lot of
politicians. Including Gorbatsjov. This lead to the project
in Russia.
If we learned anything it was that you can only realize
your high ideals if you have both feet firmly on the ground.
The trick is to “ground, ground, ground”. This is the reason
that we started organizing workshops and courses, one step
at a time, following the publication of In Resonance with
Nature. After the first year, a second year followed, and
gradually the four year ECOintention Practitioner vocational
training emerged. We started small in 2000 balancing houses
and small organizations. Once that was working well and we
knew that we were ready for bigger work, we received
requests to balance large areas of land in Scotland, England
and Costa Rica.
Center for ECOintention has developed with the idea that
if the tree is well grounded, branches and blossoms will
come by themselves. There is now a vocational training that
has already produced more than 100 ECOintention
practitioners. They can all do something in this field: run
a course, balance and coach a project. It is therefore
possible to take on a lot of work and delegate it.
It is possible to heal both nature and culture at large
scale. Anyone can do it. I described the principles in my
most recent book The Universe Loves a Happy Ending. All you
really need is attention and intention. We all have the
potential to be great healers. There are many ways to heal.
ECOintention is just one of them. It is quite probably the
only method in the world that works at such a large scale
with such a high level of impact. Which makes it all the
more important to further develop the work with
consciousness, commitment and care.
We live in a special time. There have never been so many
people on this planet. Our living and working environments
have never been under so much stress. The Earth is warming
up very rapidly. Many of the natural regulating systems are
imbalanced. On the other hand the possibilities for personal
development and transformation have never been so great. If
everyone let their inner light shine, then we would have an
“enlightened” Earth. We hope to be able to make a small
contribution with ECOintention.
