Margaretha Bessel

Director of Energy Balancing Institute (EBI) | Leader of Essence Training Germany

Margaretha is Co-Author of “Your Energy in Action” (Amazon), an accomplished Energy Therapist and international seminar leader in demand. Her passion is to help ignite energy awareness in her seminar participants and to transform and empower them through understanding the framework of Energy Psychology, so they can find and follow their calling. She is also a highly trained musician and singer and combines energy work with vocal coaching in her Free Your Voice-Institute. 

Kabir is a scientist of consciousness, a visionary and a futurist. He has pioneered a new body of knowledge on human nature, the Science of Human Potential, that is a synthesis of psychology, spirituality and the energy sciences. His work has been heralded by psychologists, spiritual leaders and educators as a truly inclusive understanding of the relationship between the body, mind, energy and the soul, and has been called ‘the psychology of the future’, ‘the new spirituality’, and ‘the science of spirituality’.

What makes this work unique is that it is both a comprehensive theory of human nature and an immanently practical methodology for personal development. It puts into the individuals hands tools that can be immediately applied to change one’s life, and it opens up a whole new way of living.

Kabir is a guide for people on the path of inner development, as well as a trainer of professionals for working with others. He brings a loving heart, clear insight and an empowering way of interacting with others that creates trust, confidence and inspiration.

Though Kabir is involved in ‘serious’ inner development, he is also vitally alive and playful, and he brings this spirit to inner work.  He is an avid kiteboarder, windsurfer and scuba diver, and spends much time by the sea.
