Linnea Beek Hansen

Manager of Stensbæk - The Holistic Centree

Linnea, as manager and founder of the The Holistic Centre, dedicated her life to making the place flourish and bear fruit.

It has been many years since Linnea first envisioned a new type of højskole, one that would work towards the highest personal and spiritual development of those who would come.

By 2006, the vision became so strong that Linnea began the process of bringing it to life. Stensbæk's buildings and its beautiful natural location now form the setting for the Centre, which has stood clearly in Linnea's consciousness throughout the years. For Linnea, the first year was filled with marketing, lectures, training, cleaning, gardening, administration,

and she has had to be matron, janitor and more.

Now that the school is ready, however, Linnea can focus on what she loves most, namely: providing.

”I am passionate about helping others to reach their full potential, and guiding them to live it out in all facets of their lives.”

We are fortunate and grateful to share the Holistic Centre with Linnea and her always unabated enthusiasm and ability to bring projects to fruition and, with her as manager, to offer others a haven of peace and energy to allow people to develop to their full potential.

Linnea is a qualified teacher, dream interpreter and certified coach. She has participated in numerous intensive development courses and training – most recently, she became a transformational breathing coach.

With warm regards,

The Board

Volunteer at the Centre

I have been a part of this project from the very beginning, and I plan to continue to be so. I support the vision of the Centre, and stand behind the whole conceptual framework of the place. But this is just the theory behind it. The reason why I am still a volunteer here after 8 years is because I can see how this college has given me the opportunity of personal development that has made me a more valuable human being for my family and society. At the same time, I see constant examples of workers and students growing as people, when they become a part of everyday life in Stensbæk.

For me, the most important thing in the world is to become more open in our hearts, and become better at cultivating acceptance and compassion. I find that the Holistic Centre is a place where I train myself in this without being excluded when I veer off the path.

I don't know what it is that makes Stensbæk so unique, but I do know what the Holistic Centre has given me, and therefore I work for the further development of the Centre and passing on further opportunities to many more people.
