What Timotheus does

Timotheus vzw is a Belgian non-profit association (vereniging zonder winstoogmerk) founded in 1993 and headquartered in Merksem (Antwerp), Belgium. The organization delivers personal and professional development programs centered on intuitive development, psycho-energetics, psycho-ecology, and supramental consciousness methodologies. Its portfolio comprises six professional year-long training programs leading to certifications (Psycho-energetica with a two-year Practitioner/Master Practitioner path, Psycho-ecologie, Ster-facilitator for grief and dying, Hope Facilitator, OKIO Facilitator for child development, and the in-development Natuurcoach), a three-year personal development trajectory (Exploration Year, Deepening Year, Integration Year), online self-assessment tools (Enneagram, Stress, left/right brain), a digital library of recorded lectures, and a webshop for books and educational materials. Five research groups (stress, grief and dying, education, women's consciousness, psycho-ecology) underpin the curriculum.

Delivery is primarily in-person across a network of regional venues spanning all five Flemish provinces plus Wallonia and the Brussels Capital Region. The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, supported by a self-service online enrollment platform, a quarterly magazine (Timotheus Inspiratie), a YouTube channel, and a Spotify podcast. Revenue is generated through course registration fees and webshop transactions, supplemented by subsidies from the Belgian Ministry of Culture. The organization is led by a core team (kerngroep) of Director Philippe Vandevorst and Chairman Geert Delanoeije, supported by approximately 20 instructors and a small administrative staff (1-10 employees).
