Bart is a Zen Buddhist monk and social entrepreneur. With a vision to empower the most vulnerable communities of subsistence farmers in sub-Sahara Africa, he took the initiative to train HeroRATs as sustainable detectors in response to the global landmine problem.
When Mozambique officially announced itself free from landmines in 2015, Bart transitioned from his executive role to focus on the practice of Zen. In the same year he got involved in The Wellbeing Project which aims to catalyze a culture of inner wellbeing for all changemakers.
While exploring the relationship between personal growth and social action, Bart currently dedicates his time to leading Zen workshops with companies and organisations, public speaking, and personal growth coaching trajectories.
