Ingrid Neijnens - ACDLT Trainer
Ingrid has been a Certificated ACDLT Trainer since 2020. During the covid situation she started online ACDLT listening and became very enthusiastic about her experience. She currently delivers this listening method in a hospital, finding that her experience as a spiritual caregiver in Catharina Ziekenhuis in Eindhoven is very helpful for that. She would now like to bring this to more hospitals and to general practitioners. Ingrid studied theology, is a mindfulness and self-compassion trainer and did a four-year training in Clownspirit (bringing together playing and awareness). She holds meditation groups in her hometown Valkenswaard in the Netherlands. Being a Deep Listening Trainer feels like all her interests and education of years are coming together. She gives the Deep Listening training both face-to-face and online in Dutch.
