An ethical hedonist coaching programme

“Honestly, what a beautiful experience facilitated by Chris. Having that pre-call on Sunday meant I felt especially ready.”

"The support Chris gave was perfect, we entered the Hedoné event with a great set of agreements, and because of that a wonderful and expansive time."

“I would have been lost without the guidance this programme gave me. I left with some simple tools I could use immediately to enhance my ways of relating.”

A bespoke coaching program for anybody curious to make the most of the Hedoné experience.

“I absolutely recommend Chris and his Dandelion workshop on the ethical hedonist. Chris has the ability to create a safe environment in which the participants can open up and work on their very vulnerable topics. I felt that I was asked the right questions at just the right time. And it is wonderful to have found a handful of people to build up a lasting deep connection. I am very grateful for the experience of working with Chris.”

“This was such a spot on, well crafted session! It went straight to the point of something really important and gave us tools to grow. Our relational patterns is a very complex theme to work with, and I think Chris did it in a very good way.”

“I don’t really know how to express in words, such a rich experience that one can go through in a very well held space by Chris. The dynamic that happened with each one was absolute craaazy! Like right there, near the cliffs.. I couldn’t really believe I did it and enjoyed it so much. I look forwards for the next adventure! Thank you.”
