From Unrest to Action
It’s completely logical to feel overwhelmed sometimes in these turbulent times. We face so much: climate change, war, political chaos. And all of this comes on top of the daily challenges in our own lives – work, family, bills. No wonder it sometimes feels like too much.
But despite all these worries, most of us really only want two things: to have a good life and to be of value to something bigger than ourselves. And that’s exactly the beautiful concept that Positive by Nature optimally utilizes, so that you can tackle a big theme that’s close to your heart because it feels good to do so instead of looking away. And if you do it in a way that truly suits you, it even contributes to your happiness in life. Really? Absolutely! Shall we take a look at how?
Working Together
What Positive by Nature Can Mean for You
First and foremost, Positive by Nature will help you find more peace in your mind and body. Because working on your concerns about the planet from a place of fear and frustration is not only very unpleasant for yourself and your environment but also not the most effective way to move forward.
You will learn how to convert your worries into valuable fuel for positive actions. And those actions, you will align them with who you are, what suits you, what makes you enthusiastic. We’ll review all of this using elements from mindfulness, positive psychology, meditation, the law of attraction, bodywork, nature experience, compassion, and connective communication.
The goal is a more positive attitude towards life and greater inner satisfaction. You will experience how meaningful it is to contribute – in your own way – to a future as you envision it. And that your new energy is an inspiration to others.

What's in a Name
Positive by Nature has a layered meaning: First, the name refers to the English expression that describes someone who has a naturally positive attitude. This means you naturally tend to see the good, and that’s an incredibly valuable gift you can give to the world. If you consciously focus on the positive, you can not only experience more happiness yourself but also make a real positive impact on the world around you. And the best news? If you don’t naturally have that positive focus, you can still learn it!
Additionally, Positive by Nature stands for the healing power of nature, the source of all life. There’s something magical about the peace and space that nature gives us: the fresh air, the greenery, the simple feeling of being outside. It does so much for our physical and mental well-being. But nature does something else beautiful: it makes us feel that we are part of something bigger. It helps us to clarify our priorities and focus on what’s really important. By connecting with this source, you can act from a place of gratitude and love instead of fear and frustration.
Positive by Nature is thus more than a name – it’s an invitation to use this positive energy and connection with nature to make a difference, both for yourself and for our beautiful planet.
Introduction
Founder and Trainer Positive by Nature
Nice to meet you! I’m Harriët van der Weele, with the unofficial nickname “harrie”. As a little girl, I was already in love with this beautiful planet and felt incomprehension and anger about how disrespectfully we treat the earth. It seems as if we don’t realize that we are part of this delicate ecosystem. That incomprehension drove me for years in the fight against multinationals and their reckless exploitation of our natural resources. I literally took to the barricades, as part of the international environmental movement. After a decade of fighting from negativity, I had to acknowledge that this was taking its toll, and the light I so wanted to be for the world began to slowly fade.
It was not an easy process to accept that the only thing I truly have influence over is my own actions. And that the energy I need to make a positive difference can only come from rest and connection. Now I still live and work with that same passion for our planet, but with a different approach: not resisting what worries you, but contributing to what feels good.
In addition to being a communication advisor, speaker, and conference chair, I am a certified mindfulness trainer and guide people to do the inner work that is so desperately needed for the transition to a sustainable society.
