The Three Pillars of Inspiral Fest: Body, Mind, and Energy – The Key to High Performance in Amsterdam

How My Journey to High Performance in Amsterdam Began

Back in 2017, while searching for ways to improve my health and add healthy habits to my busy life as the director of a museum, I found myself feeling mentally and physically drained. Long work hours, constant decision-making, and a fast-paced lifestyle had taken a toll on my well-being.

One evening, almost on a whim, I decided to join a Kung Fu class in Amsterdam. At first, it was just a way to get some movement into my routine, but soon, it turned into a habit—training three to four nights a week. The impact was immediate: I handled stress better, gained mental clarity, and built physical strength.

But Kung Fu was only the beginning. This ignited a search for more—more balance, more energy, more mastery over different areas of life. My curiosity led me to Ayurveda, where I met a specialist who introduced me to ancient Indian wisdom about nutrition, energy flow, and holistic well-being.

This is when I realized: high performance is not just about work or productivity—it’s about mastering your body, mind, and energy. With the right direction, perspective, and teachers, areas where I once thought I had no potential became strengths.

The Birth of Inspiral Fest – A High-Performance Movement in Amsterdam

Fast forward to 2023—after years of training, learning, and surrounding myself with some of the best coaches and mentors, I attended Mindvalley’s Supercoach event in Tallinn. That’s where the idea of creating something similar in Amsterdam took root.

By then, I had already built a small but powerful network of experts in:

✅ Kung Fu & Martial Arts
✅ Meditation & Mindfulness
✅ Yoga & Breathwork
✅ High-Intensity Training (HIIT) & Functional Fitness
✅ Ayurveda & Holistic Nutrition

Joining the Mindvalley network opened the doors to an incredible world of global teachers, thought leaders, and transformational experiences.

In December 2023, we launched the first Inspiral Mindset event—a two-hour experience focused on the three pillars I had learned from my Kung Fu academy, IWKA Amsterdam: BODY, MIND, and ENERGY.

By 2024, Inspiral Mindset had expanded to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Barcelona, and Tallinn, with both live and online events featuring over 15 expert coaches and speakers from around the world.

Now, in 2025, we are taking things to the next level with Inspiral Fest—a five-hour immersive event designed to bring high-performance practices to a larger community in Amsterdam.

The Three Pillars of Inspiral Fest: Unlocking High Performance

At Inspiral Fest, we focus on the three essential pillars that drive high performance:

1️⃣ BODY – Your Foundation for Strength and Vitality
2️⃣ MIND – The Gateway to Clarity and Focus
3️⃣ ENERGY – The Bridge That Connects It All

Let’s explore how these three elements work together to create a high-performance lifestyle that is both sustainable and transformational.

PILLAR 1: BODY – Strength, Movement, and Vitality

Your body is your foundation. If your body is tired, stressed, or unbalanced, your mind and energy will suffer as well. High performance begins with physical well-being.

At Inspiral Fest, we integrate science-backed movement and holistic practices to help you:

✔️ Build Strength & Resilience – Through martial arts, functional training, and high-intensity movement, you’ll develop the endurance and power needed for daily life.
✔️ Increase Flexibility & Recovery – Yoga and mobility training will help you prevent injuries, improve posture, and stay energized.
✔️ Discover the Power of Breath – Learn ancient breathwork techniques that enhance focus, energy, and relaxation.
✔️ Optimize Your Nutrition – Experience Ayurvedic principles and modern biohacking strategies to fuel your body effectively.

💡 Why It Matters: When your body is strong, flexible, and well-nourished, you operate at peak performance—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

PILLAR 2: MIND – Unlock Clarity, Focus, and Creativity

Your mindset dictates your success, happiness, and resilience. At Inspiral Fest, we bring together leading experts in mental performance and self-mastery to help you:

🧠 Master Mental Clarity – Learn practical techniques for eliminating stress, boosting creativity, and improving concentration.
📖 Transform Your Mindset Through Storytelling – Engage in immersive talks and workshops designed to rewire your thinking patterns.
🧘 Cultivate Mindfulness & Self-Awareness – Guided meditation and mindfulness exercises will help you gain control over your emotions and reactions.
🎯 Enhance Decision-Making & Productivity – Discover strategies that allow you to prioritize effectively and work smarter, not harder.

💡 Why It Matters: A calm and focused mind is the key to making better decisions, creating meaningful connections, and achieving high performance in Amsterdam and beyond.

PILLAR 3: ENERGY – The Hidden Force That Drives Everything

Energy is the invisible currency of high performance. It’s the bridge that connects your body and mind.

At Inspiral Fest, we explore advanced energy practices such as:

⚡ Breathwork & Pranayama – Techniques that recharge your body, calm your nervous system, and enhance mental focus.
🔮 Sound Healing & Vibrational Therapy – Using sound frequencies to balance emotions and restore inner harmony.
💃 Conscious Movement & Ecstatic Dance – A powerful way to release stress, unlock creativity, and connect with yourself on a deeper level.
🌍 Connecting with Nature & Environment – Learn how to align with natural energy cycles for optimal performance.

💡 Why It Matters: Mastering your energy allows you to operate at your peak, whether you’re leading a business, pursuing a creative passion, or simply striving to live a healthier, more vibrant life.
