LOUIS BÖHTLINGK

Louis Böhtlingk, born in the Netherlands, trained intuitive and psychic counselor, certified bookkeeper, workshop leader and founder of World Finance Initiative and Care First World. Louis is the author of Dare to Care – a love based foundation for money and finance – written in co-operation with Hazel Henderson and of Care First written in Dutch.



Louis works internationally with facilitating the shift from a Money First to a Care First world. Care First means, that money serves the well-being of people and the Earth and is not used at their expense (Money First).

He works with a powerful transformational workshop Meeting the Mystery of Money since 2004 on and off-line. It addresses our relationship with money on a deeply experiential level, assisting us to move from fear to trust and from a victimized to an empowered experience in our dealings with money. It portrays the archetypal story behind our relationship with money, its purpose, challenge and outcome and sets a new tone for the future of economics.

Louis lives in Forres near Findhorn, Scotland with his beloved wife Sandra. They have become an active part of the Findhorn Community. Louis received the inspiration for Care First in 1997. It has inspired many worldwide since and made a further breakthrough Oct 2020. We are now pursuing an effort to see how we can communicate the message of Care First in the most effective and impactful manner and how to build a Care First World together.



Louis describes a Care First World as a world in which care for the well-being of people and our planet comes first. Money is used to make well-being possible. Everyone can provide for their basic human needs and develop themselves. We care for the Earth, who provides us with so much materially. We experience the Earth as a gift we can share with each other.

GABRIELLA KAPFER

Gabriella Kapfer, born in Germany, trained in farming, psychotherapy, music and later forging metal sound instruments, created a new unique form of Sound Healing and co-founded Resounding Earth, an impulse to raise the vibration on this beautiful planet. She traveled the world as a Bard for Peace for many years from 2004 – combining her many skills creating music, sound and experiences for individuals and groups that facilitate people to access deeper parts of themselves, their connection with Nature and the greater whole.

In the late 1990s she lived with Louis and Sandra Bohtlingk in the north of Scotland for some years where the Care First money transformation impulse was received and applied in many ways – including a small retreat house on the edge of the wild. During this period Gabriella learnt much from Nature through inner attunements that invited her to work with sound in a new way – work that facilitates molecular change and realignment through what we now refer to as Sound Weaving.

Passionate about teaching and modeling co-creative partnership with Nature and the Earth, Gabriella has been co-facilitating vibrational healing workshops and alchemical forge retreats as well as transformational journeys and pilgrimages to sacred sacred sites working with sound and Nature for many years. As a creator and sound alchemist she brings the wider consciousness of co-creating with all of life towards facilitating others to be aligned  with their deeper nature and with the Earth. 

She knows that when we truly re-member our interconnectedness with all of Life, we will naturally move towards a state of being, where we act from Care as we see ourselves as part the whole.

She currently lives in Portugal and is involved with a wide range of regenerative projects that are working to create an Earth school.
