I live in Victoria, BC. I am inspired by the bioregional way of living and am grateful to live in such a beautiful place here on Vancouver Island. I want to build a flourishing and resilient life for myself and my community, in balance with the natural world we depend upon. I like the cosmo-local philosophy of combining global networking technologies for sharing knowledge and coordination at higher levels while cultuaviting a strong local community and economy.

CampOma is located in Eagle Creek (about 45 minutes from Portland) on 120 forested acres. We are in the formative stages and looking for folks who want to help build. I’m passionate about helping people getting out of prison restore their lives, starting an Outdoor School and a kids tea party business as well as hosting healing retreats for medical people, in particular, and drug and smoke free music concerts, Oregon trail reenactments and survival skills.

Annelieke Verkerk

My personal calling is to champion inclusive and regenerative living systems across all scales. Over the years I have devoted myself to supporting bioregioning and other regenerative / sustainable projects and initiatives around the globe and to supporting the inner development and resilience of change-makers, communities, teams and organizations.

I facilitate Regenerative Constellations on environmental, social, economic, organizational, ancestral and leadership / personal issues on all continents, live and online. ‘Constellating Cascadia – supporting bioregioning across all scales’ is the project I want to devote myself to in 2024/2025.

My support of bioregional and other regenerative initiatives comes from a deep sense of being in service to the earth and the common good – my motivation since I was 16 years of age – and from an intention to give back, so all my Regenerative Constellation work and Human Potential coaching of changemakers around the globe I offer for free.

As an international coach for leaders, change-makers, teams and organizations I am passionate about developing conscious, embodied and regenerative leadership, working with (eco)systemic dynamics across all scales and facilitating transformation and culture change.

Besides 20+ years of (eco)systemic coaching education and experience, I bring 15 years of experience in staff and leadership positions with the University of Groningen and Dutch Government.

I am nurtured by nature, art and poetry and I love to dance, also with the paradoxes of life.

Please reach out to me at anneliekeverkerk@gmail.com . My new website is under construction.
