"I have studied all my life, for both my career and personal development but have never experienced anything so complete." ~ Dr. Tracy Chandler, Integrative Medicine Specialist, GP & DirectorÂ
"The Quest provides clear and profound guidance. The ingenuity of the facilitators helps the seeker via guidelines for practices to introspect on” what’s beyond the known limits of inter-personal relations, conflicts, and unlocking of human potentials." ~ Dr. Anjali Boyramboli, Ph.D. Psychological Sciences & Research, Mauritius
“Each lesson they offered was delivered with grace, and created a sense of hope.

What people are saying about Anneloes & Kurt and their facilitation...
Dr. Jude Currivan
Cosmologist, Futurist & Author of The Cosmic Hologram
"Through her writing and teaching, Anneloes’s authenticity and wisdom radiate with a crystal clarity and resonate with compassionate grace. Gently she guides readers and students through journeys of inner and outer discovery, inspiring and empowering them to re-member their own true selves and sense of purpose. As a teacher, guide and companion, she is a loving and hopeful gift of Spirit to the world."
Dr. Jean Houston
Co-Author of the Future Humans Trilogy & Principal founder of the Human Potential Movement
"Dr. Anneloes Smitsman is a leader and pioneer in the development of the architecture of creating civilizations that enhance the wellbeing of both person and planet. In this she is a treasure trove of ingenuity and wisdom. She is one whom leaders in social evolution regard as the person who has the genius to implement the revolutionary solutions and visions that can advance the necessary development of both people and planet. I, as well as many others, regard Anneloes as a female Einstein. I met prof Einstein when I was 8 years old, and he told me that his greatest quality was imagination, a quality which Anneloes shares abundantly and which informs her extraordinary creative gifts. She is a living example of what it means to walk the path of the emerging future human."
Prof. Ervin Laszlo
Scientist, Noble Peace Prize Nominee
"We live in the most crucial epoch in the recent history of humanity. We need to rethink where we are going, and change the way we go. We need to BE the change we want to see in the world. This calls for leadership — leading ourselves to be the change we need. This is perhaps the most vital quest of our time. Joining this quest through the initiative of Dr. Anneloes Smitsman could be one of the most effective steps you could now take."
Lawrence Bloom
Former Secretary General, Be Earth Foundation
"In my blessed life’s journey I have had the true privilege of meeting some extraordinary and remarkable Souls. Anneloes Smitsman is up there with the best of the very best. From vision to strategy, from strategy to tactics, from tactics to operations, she is a profound and very rare master. I recommend her unhesitatingly, and celebrate our personal friendship and her gift of mentorship to me."
"I followed this course with Dr. Kurt Barnes some months ago and it was of great help for me. Since my adolescence, I felt like I had an inner force which I could not develop positively to enhance my personality. When I followed this course, Kurt showed how to retrieve this inner force and use it positively in my everyday life. Now I have embraced a new career at 42 years because it is within this new orientation that I am able to become the man I want to be. I strongly recommend Kurt's courses to anyone." ~ Maxime Chérubin
"It is truly amazing how Anneloes is able to both prepare fertile grounds for sacred transmissions and insights and to hold the space for questions and personal growth for each participant. I have not experienced a single session without jaw-dropping and deep new realizations for many that ripple through daily life and work long after the sessions complete. Having spent time in our own study groups - working and applying the teachings of the Future Humans Trilogy - everybody eagerly awaits any new input Anneloes shares with us, because she is able to bring one’s own experience to a deeper, more connected understanding towards more subtle levels of awareness! What a New Paradigm Storyteller and compassionate teacher!" ~ Dr. Dagmar Wolff, Ph.D., M.D., founding member of the Future Humans Course Community
"If you enjoy the Future Human Trilogy, I highly recommend monthly group coaching sessions with Anneloes. They are invaluable in integrating the books' understanding, wisdom, and tools. Anneloes is a brilliant teacher and a phenomenal coach and mentor. In these sessions, she breaks down the intricate science and wisdom, and makes them accessible. By combining classical teaching, practices, meditations, and dialogue, Anneloes supports the participants both to understand, embody, and be ready to apply the wisdom in everyday life. I trust her completely and love how she generously, gently, and lovingly guides me, and everyone, in our growth and becoming. Fellow traveller, I urge you to sign up!" ~ Hege Forbech Vinje, Ph.D., Founder of The Forbech Vinje Academy
"I experience from Dr. Kurt Barnes a profound depth and breadth of wisdom, knowledge, expertise, caring, integrity and consciousness that I find quite rare in one person. Whenever I listen to him speak it is as if he has discovered how to open the Book of Life in such a way that it becomes accessible to all those who wish to drink from the deep well of Wisdom. Whether you work with him in person or online, individually or in a group program, you will discover some golden nuggets for your life’s journey you always hoped were possible. I feel blessed for all I have received from him and I imagine you will as well." ~ Dr. Meredith L Lowry
"Future Human Coaching sessions with Anneloes has been one of the most transformative opportunities of my life. I was introduced to Anneloes through The Quest of Rose, Book 1, and the subsequent Catalyst Course that deepened the books practices for me. The book itself is a treasure trove of teachings and knowledge, and with the now added gift of the coaching sessions, assimilating it has moved to a much deeper and more applicable level of understanding for me. The teachings have created a clear pathway to call forward my future potential to present day; to be able to live life transformatively, with clearer presence and intention in my choices and interactions. I now feel I am living the principles in my daily life and the shifts that are occurring are seismic. I have a deeper sense of peace these days and a deep level of gratitude that my life has been blessed by Anneloes, her work and the Future Humans community, all of which has changed the trajectory of my life in the most incredible and catalyzing ways!" ~ Kristie Googin, Future Humans Course Community
"Kurt's very presence engenders in me a deep state of conscious awareness that accesses creativity, peace, and self-trust. His knowledge, experience, and command of our human mind stretches deeply into our soul." ~ Anna Ourusoff
"The coaching and mentoring calls with Anneloes have been essential in receiving real life guidance on how to navigate the process of creating the Future that we choose. In the past few months, I have been going through the process of becoming a steward of a land where my family will eventually build our home, a nature based school for children and adults to learn vital lessons for our future, and a space where people come to receive support and nourishment in their process of being and becoming. This project came as visions in bits and pieces over several years. While the vision is strong, I honestly did not know how to make it happen, leaving me very insecure, and eventually being stuck. Working with Anneloes through the Future Humans coaching calls, her Leadership Quest, and the first two books of the Future Humans Trilogy, have given me much clarity and confidence in navigating the creation and manifestation of this vision. Now, I engage the Future in a conversation, deeply listen, and then circle through the directions of the Cosmic Compass, checking in with my values and principles as coordinates, before taking action. Even though the path is not always visible nor easy, I am truly looking forward to seeing the possibilities that lie ahead. Thanks to Anneloes and her brilliant expositions of the cosmic architecture tools and keys, knowing beyond doubt that the Cosmos is my ally, has strengthened my faith that the Future is guiding me towards the highest good." ~ Dona Tumacder-Esteban, El Nido, Philippines
"The meditations with Dr. Kurt Barnes are truly amazing to integrate those spiritual parts of ours that seem very far from the three-dimensional reality. I felt that it strengthens the field, this glimpse of who we really are, and we have a sense and direction to be here, doing the simple things of life, in deep gratitude for this Journey of life." ~ Monica Lampe
"Anneloes is a rare and precious gift. She embodies the ethos of wholeness with her deep, mystical wisdom complemented by her strong, cognitive intelligence. Both come into balance as she allows her heart to lead and guide. Her innate genius is a treasure." ~ Julie Krull, PhD, Founder of GOOD of the WHOLE and talk radio host
