Hans Houtman, M.A.
With a Dutch background and experience as a manager, yoga teacher, psychotherapist, executive coach, corporate trainer, artist and entrepreneur, Hans brings great fun, creativity and expertise to his holistic mentoring.
He loves to work with individuals who are aware of the necessity to evolve to levels of consciousness (morally, emotionally, mentally, spiritually) the challenges of our time call for, and who are eager to develop the self-mastery necessary to live their lives with more meaning, joy and success.
As Co-founder and Director of Syncscapes Dynamics Hans facilitates workshops targeting innovative change management, assisting managers to become enlightened coaches for their team members by developing self-mastery, through the application of innovative training protocols such as Immunity to Change™, Fifth Discipline and Theory U.
But no matter what protocol or skills Hans teaches when he works with a person or group, he always includes proven yogic practices such as meditation and mindfulness to this work to help them open up to dimensions of joy and meaning in their work and private lives.
Why am I able to do this?
On the one hand, I am knowledgeable, well-versed in many models of organizational development including Wilber's AQAL approach, the Harvard-designed Overcoming Immunity to Change, MIT-created Theory U and Fifth Discipline practices such as group learning, mental maps and systems thinking.
On the other hand, I have decades of experience in working as trainer/coach with people, individually and in groups. My training in yogic principles has made me mindful, empathic and compassionate. And my experience as a creative artist (art exhibitions in Europe and the States) has sharpened my perceptions and made me keenly aware that every change initiative follows the rules of creative endeavor.
Knowledge and experience, wisdom and passion: I practice daily to embody these qualities and put them to good use, that is, helping people connect with their cores in the NOW and realize they are creating their issues and their solutions…from moment to moment…always fresh, always new, always alive!!!
Selected Skills and Accomplishments
Francine Juhasz, Ph.D.
Francine Juhasz received her Ph.D. in psychology from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. She then taught psychology courses full-time with the Jesuits at John Carroll University and later full-time at Cañada College in Redwood City, California, before leaving academia for Europe.
In Europe she spent more than two decades counseling individuals and couples as a psychotherapist, and teaching groups in France, Spain and the Netherlands using the principles of QiGong, creative visualization and Jungian archetypes. She practiced dream interpretation extensively, and expanded that language to include the unsuspected nuances of the symbolism of waking daily life. Her familiarity with the intimate details of the inner lives and peculiarities of hundreds of men and women was vital to her adapting traditional techniques and gearing them to the vast market of those interested in self-improvement and self-discovery.
In her counseling sessions, she uses use an eclectic approach, selecting what is valid or useful from a variety of available theories, methods, and practices, including her own wide experience.
Francine became a Denver resident with her Dutch husband Hans, coach/trainer/ performer and Kripalu yoga teacher, at the beginning of January 2007.
Francine has also published thirteen short stories in literary journals in New Zealand, Australia and the U.S. , championing the inner alchemy she teaches. 
One of these, “Paris a la Fantastique,” a delightful short story of a recently divorced woman using her imagination to find and feel joy, can be read on the website Moondance: Celebrating Creative Women.
On their cover, The Theosophical Quarterly called Francine’s short story, “Uncle Joe,” Best Metaphysical Fiction of 1999 and published it in twenty-five countries. This endorsement was followed by praise from Dr. Ian Irvine, coeditor of Australia ’s literary journal The Animist, for Francine’s “A New Twist,” which he published in the Literary Commentary section of that journal in July of 1999 because he considered it an important development as an art form.
Her novel, "The Yogini With A Thousand Eyes, can be found on Amazon in paperback or in the Kindle edition.
"Trivial yet helpful theatrics occur so often in my daily life, I decided to entice others to play imaginatively with this mysterious phenomenon by dramatizing in a novel how beneficial defrocking these rascals can be. Scientists have forgotten to study trivial events, and no adventurer has led an expedition to explore them. I'd like people to become curious about what happens around them, see the art involved, and discover their daily lives are far more interesting than they think."
Francine's nonfiction book, "Geocaching For Personally Valuable Treasure: Treasure-Hunting in Random Trivial Events" can also be found on Amazon. 
"Many common ordinary events that happen to us daily are bristling with tips and jaw-dropping surprises.
Your garbage disposal goes on the blink; the balls your neighbor’s dog plays with keep landing in your backyard; you’re kissed by your aunt and reek of her perfume; a bird crashes into your office window; and someone has dumped a box of erasers on your front lawn.
These randomly occurring trivial incidents intrude upon our lives relentlessly. We can’t escape them. We don’t even pick them. They pick us, then trap us in a web of the commonest, most boring stuff that ever existed. Most of them are so dull, irksome and obnoxious we consider them a total waste of our time and energy. They interfere with our plans. They irritate and distract us. They can even plunge us into foul moods.
And yet…looked at in the right way, they can be helpful, supportive, compassionate and even wise. Treated as geocaches, they could make any day superb!"
