I am Mewis
My life now
46 years old. Father of Madelief. Partner of Janneke. Right now I am building a fantastic new life. A new form of family, in a new place, connected to beach, dunes, sea and the life of the city around us. I consider myself improbably fortunate that it has been given to me to allow my life to unfold like this every day. A life where everything is welcome, everything is looked at and little is fixed or taken for granted. Radically honest, sincere, intentional. And especially loving and compassionate, for all those parts of me that are not there at all yet. Truly daring to live. That is what I live for.
My path
My life path has taken me through many aspects of life. I have developed myself into a successful and independent individual in the world only to completely break it down again in a subsequent part of my life just as independently and successfully. Until there seemed to be virtually nothing left or needed. Perfect silence.
I cherish both phases and look back on them with a wam feeling.
The last few years have been again about turning that perfect "nothing," into "something." Back to the middle. Milder. Softer. More subtle. More inclusive. Back into life but now conscious. My life as a blank sheet. A sheet that I can fill in with everything I've learned along the way. A life in which meditation, the sea, family and love play a major role.
Mewis.com for me is about showing myself. What I have to give to the world. The latter part of my path I gained more and more appreciation for the wisdom of the body. Of feeling what is there. The simplicity and at the same time the immeasurable depth. Knowledge and books have a role but I feel I want to feel. To let others feel. Together.
Work with me
1:1 Program for Men: The Baseline
The Baseline is an ongoing 1:1 program in which you work with me regularly to gain clarity and direction in your life. It is less intense than The Intensive, but provides the structure and guidance you need to stay on track and strengthen your development step by step.
1:1 Program for Men: The Intensive
The Intensive is an individual program for men who are ready to break patterns and truly encounter themselves. This work is intense, honest, and transformative. You step out of your comfort zone, explore what is holding you back, and build direction, strength, and responsibility. For those who are truly willing to change and create the life that is right for them.
Group Work Schedule
Group work is often part of my programs, but can also be booked separately. In a group, you learn things you cannot discover on your own: you are mirrored, you share, you see yourself reflected in others, and you experience the power of breathing and deepening together. Think of men's circles, The Shadow Work Program, the Friday Morning Retreat, or a psilocybin deep dive. These gatherings open up new insights and strengthen your process.
