Rembrandt Zegers

Rembrandt trained as a physiologist (plants and animals) combined with applied social science. With this, he was active in environmental education. He did further studies in business administration and was trained as a group therapist. He worked as an (international) organisational development consultant at Ernst & Young. From there, he increasingly focused on so-called multistakeholder issues and their process management. The fact that he could no longer ignore the climate and nature crisis brought him to Greenpeace International, where he was responsible for cooperation between the head office and some of the country offices. During this period, he started to investigate the relationship between people and nature using what is called ‘lived experience’ within practices where people work in or with nature.

In doing so, he showed that the relationship with nature does not start in your head, but in the body. The affect that arises from that is the starting point for a reciprocal relationship, making you want to take responsibility for nature and promote life. Rembrandt is an expert of the ‘unconscious’ and emphasises the tradition and forms of work that help connect with ‘nature’. This is possible (contact) if you are interested in making things ‘whole’ and start from relationships. He also writes about this. He works from his own agency. He is a member of various (international) programmes and networks, including UN Harmony with Nature.
