Welcome to MahaKaruna
Ruud Baanders
MahaKaruna stands for Great Compassion, seeing the humanity in every person, is a quality that I want to bring into the lives of all people I work with in my courses, in my coaching and in my daily life.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Reiki, en Zen fundamentally have the same purpose, i.e. to support physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing through connecting with our Self, Essence, Divine Energy, Buddha nature, or any name one wants give to this sense of experiencing something greater than ourselves.
My work supports people to live from a compassionate and empowered Self in mutually satisfying relationships with other people, with all beings, and with our planet.
NVC, IFS and Zen are the cornerstones of my courses and coaching that enable participants and clients to live a life of practical compassion with oneself and others, honest and authentic, and of full interconnectedness.
​
I work internationally, in person and online, in English, Dutch and Italian.
For both my coaching and courses I offer a sliding fee scale to make my work accessible to everyone. Hence, you choose to contribute what you can afford.

Coaching Your Healing Journey
My coaching style is an integration of Nonviolent Communication process with the Internal Family Systems process, within a deeply experienced practice of my Zen and Reiki healing tradition.
