The Original Foundation
Where awareness grows and authentic creation comes to life.
On this site, you can read how we see our contribution as a foundation in the changing world of today and tomorrow. It begins with our vision, our purpose and our intentions. Together, they form the foundation on which we build.
The Original Foundation is a foundation for the development of consciousness, original living and conscious leadership. It supports initiatives that help people, places and organizations to reconnect with their essential nature. From this foundation, projects and learning pathways arise in which consciousness, responsibility and soulful development are central.
In this way, we seek to contribute to an integrated and harmonious society. We do this gladly together with others. It is therefore our intention to support entrepreneurial individuals and organisations who wish to fulfil their own role in this in an original and meaningful way.
The Original Foundation is based on the vision that self-aware people naturally contribute to the wellbeing and progress of society as a whole. For this reason, the development of self-awareness is central to everything we do.
Through consciousness, duality can be understood, and people can rise beyond fear and emotional conflict.
Through consciousness, people can make free use of polarity. In doing so, they are able to shape their own lives and make joyful, enlightened choices that resonate with their deepest values, intuition and authentic self.
This awareness creates new possibilities and gives life a wondrous radiance.
Original staat voor de pure, ongerepte bron van creatie en wijsheid die in iedere mens aanwezig is. De stichting richt zich op het herstellen van deze innerlijke verbinding, zodat mensen vanuit helderheid en integriteit kunnen leven en creëren. Zo wordt ‘het oorspronkelijke’ niet alleen herinnerd maar ook herleefd en in de wereld gebracht.

Original stands for the pure, untouched source of creation and wisdom that lives within every human being.
The foundation is dedicated to restoring this inner connection, so that people can live and create from a place of clarity and integrity.
In this way, the original is not only remembered, but also re-experienced — and brought into the world anew.
Throughout the centuries, European religious and cultural traditions have each, in their own way, sought meaning, truth, and connection — as individual links in a larger story.
A recurring undercurrent runs through them all: the story of human awakening.
Each era with generations, each culture, each religion seems to echo a universal longing — a remembrance of who we truly are.
At this pivotal moment in human evolution — in our present time of transformation — these diverse storylines have the potential to converge in the heart of the conscious human being.
A completely new era is unfolding, in which people can move beyond fear and emotional struggle.
A time in which power can serve love, and opposites can be united into a harmonious whole.
When people are self-aware and able to create with intention from the heart, it has a positive impact on society as a whole. Sustainable manifestations that arise from a sense of shared purpose create a ripple effect that benefits everyone.
The foundation works with the intention that every creation it supports contributes to a more conscious humanity and society.
To further strengthen this process, the foundation aims not only to support innovative, enterprising individuals and projects, but also to recognize and revitalize forgotten or undiscovered power places across Europe.
By this, we mean historical and cultural heritage sites where ancient cultures and religions have, over the centuries, cultivated their insights into human consciousness. Much of this old wisdom can be found in rural areas on the edges of Europe, at energetic sites connected through ley lines that stretch across the continent.
These kinds of places are often uniquely powerful, energetic locations where people can find stillness, draw inspiration, and allow their talents to come into full bloom.
Alongside the well-known, prestigious sacred sites, there are countless hidden gems — perhaps less in the spotlight, yet all the more valuable to local communities and the preservation of cultural heritage.
TOF seeks to rediscover, support, and above all, to breathe (new) life into them. This is done in collaboration with innovative project leaders and local communities. In doing so, a network can emerge of historical and cultural heritage sites that are not only preserved, but actively serve as catalysts for the development of consciousness in our time. Each heritage site and/or power place can, in its own unique way, become a renewed foundation for conscious living and entrepreneurship.

At this moment, in June 2026, TOF has its first project in development at the edge of Europe, in the southwest of the Alentejo, Portugal. Here, where the terracotta-coloured Earth meets the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean, you can contribute to the unfolding of a new adventure: Escola da Mística.
Soon, you and others will be able to find the peace here to work, from the silence within yourself, with full attention and inspiration on your own development, your vision and your creations.
By supporting Escola da Mística, you contribute to the European ripple effect and you can also become part of TOF’s Society of Sunrays.
A remarkable historical heritage site where heavenly plans can come into bloom.
L’Hermitage du Mystique is located on an ancient sacred site. As far back as the Middle Ages, several churches stood here. Destruction caused by religious wars and neglect over time brought Abbé Pierre Marie Rousse, in 1862, to the decision to rebuild the church. In this small chapel, with its turquoise ceiling and golden starry sky, it is the Holy Mary who stands at the altar — an image not commonly seen. Rousse built the chapel together with a school and an orphanage, each on one side of the church — the building now known as L’Hermitage du Mystique.
Later, he built 14 small chapels on the hillside behind, representing the Stations of the Cross.
To this day, they reflect the silence and devotion that still resonate from this historic place.
