Verdant

Verdant is a coaching and workshop practice founded by Charlie Groen, designed to support people in reconnecting with their inner vitality and integrity — especially in complex or high-pressure environments. The name Verdant means lush and green: a symbol of renewal, resilience, and growth.

Charlie is a practical philosopher with a deep commitment to support people to slow down, self-connect, and grow in meaningful ways. Her approach weaves together philosophical inquiry, trauma-informed practices, and heart-centered communication.

She holds a Master’s degree in Philosophy, studied international conflict management in Indonesia, and trained in Diversity & Inclusion pratices at the University of Michigan. She is currently completing two advanced trainings: one in Interactive Self-Resonance (IZK) — a method for trauma healing and self-reconnection — and another in Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

Based in Amsterdam, Charlie also works in the financial sector as an Ethics & Conduct expert. This gives her a unique perspective on what it means to live with integrity and purpose in demanding systems. Whether you're seeking guidance in a personal or professional context, Charlie brings both depth and practicality to help you move forward.

She designed the first Living Integrity Workshops together with Judith Frankenhuis and Luna Cabasés Corral.
