Welcome,
I'm quite confident that our external challenges are intimately linked to our inner struggles. The emergence of our time calls for a generous and adventurous descend that leads us to interesting new places that open up other ways of seeing, learning, relating, evolving and thriving in the world.
Open Up is an attempt to cultivate the necessary wisdom for a future that thrives on inner growth and social change in an embodied way. I develop methodologies and facilitate transformative breathwork experiences that shift perspectives, unleash energy in a rigorous approach from where we can create positive change and chart bold, ambitious futures. Can you take an instant to visualize this event?
Looking forward to connect,
Katrien Franken

I view my work as an act of journey; an expression of assembled studies, longings, spiritual practice, learnings, collaborations, failures, experiments, and experience of twenty years at the edges of our evolutionary growth. I'm a multiple award-winning artist,
international breathwork and inner growth facilitator, educator, writer, activist, poet, social entrepreneur, as well as founder and director of Open Up.
A stunning invitation is in the air, urging us to rethink ourselves, our ways of learning and our actions in the world to what mutually benefits us. In an Open Up based pedagogy, the longing is to deeply explore what it means to be alive today – and to bring more than just solutions, more than just a future, more than just breathing. Together we practice openness to open to new places of power where there is joy in carrying the health and well-being of our interconnectedness. Join us in this activism of inquiry to unleash energy in bodies, in flows, in possibilities from experience to action.
A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
Our
PHILANTHROPY
Open Up's impact initiatives are set out by Katrien Franken in 2020, and are deep offerings to whole systems change. A human investment in a future of inspiration and longevity, unlocking new opportunities for radical change and healing.
We are exploring how the conditions of transformation come together on the fringes of the culture. Our engagement is with deep inner practices, and journeys of coming alive to critical shifts in ways that allow ruptures to grow the new.
