I want to sign up!• Tired of the constraints inflicted by chains from the past?

Combining our (30+) years of experience in working with men, we have come up with what we call:
The Inner Freedom Bootcamp...
“This program will push you straight into the deeper realms of your essence...”
Niels Pilaar, Co-Founder of OHM
Through a holistic combination of Western men’s work techniques, Eastern Philosophy, and Tantric and Shamanic practices, expect to crack through the barriers preventing you from feeling more aliveness, and to discover new layers of who you truly are.
Hajee, Niels, and Adam form a powerful and well-balanced team. Their diversity creates a dynamic in which you, as a participant, feel both supported and challenged. With their sharp presence and unwavering attentiveness, they create a container that allows you to truly dive deep.
Rob Janssen, Coach/Facilitator, Netherlands
“The Inner Freedom Bootcamp is an EXCITING, and CHALLENGING, arena for your personal growth as a man.”
By doing your inner work, you will create a level of confidence in your masculinity that is independent from external validation.
That confidence creates trust.
And THAT, we've been told, is next level sexy...
The world needs more men who dare to show up fully (despite insecurities), give their deepest gifts, and become the inspiring leaders they know they can be.
Are YOU one of these men?
If you’re willing to explore your layers of armour, and go into the possible discomfort this may create...
If you’re willing to move through your resistance and fear...
If you’re longing for the next level of freedom...
Then the Inner Freedom Bootcamp is for you!
The bootcamp with Niels, Hajee and Adam has been a very helpful and insightful experience. They are second to none when it comes to creating a safe container to practice and explore. Whatever they have in store next, rest assured that you are in good hands and that you're getting more than your money's worth.

We support you.
So who are we?
Ey, I’m Niels Pilaar !
Inner Freedom starts with knowing yourself to the core! Because if you don’t you become a pawn in the hands of those around you and I speak from experience.
My own journey of knowing myself has brought me three main discoveries so far:
1) how my childhood traumas play out in my life
2) the things that give me a deep sense of meaning and joy. I call it my bliss
3) my mastery: that place in between trapezes, where life calls you out, where it is scary, dangerous, dark, exhilarating, extremely intense and extremely rewarding in the end.
The work done in men’s groups has always been essential to me throughout all these discoveries - especially the sincerity that creates both safety and challenge at the same time.
With more than 25 years of experience in being in and facilitating men’s groups I love to share my experience with the next generation.
Hi, I’m Adam Aya!
I am a shamanic guide, Evolution Coach, trauma-informed facilitator for Primal inner child work, tantric healer and yoga & mindfulness teacher.
For the last 25 years, I have been on a Hero’s Journey of self-discovery, constantly seeking to refine the essence of who I am, release the bonds of conditioning and learned behaviors, and step ever more into my true, authentic self.
I truly believe that mankind is on the cusp of a huge transformation, where we step out of the old, animal consciousness of competition and conflict, and into the higher consciousness of collaboration, cooperation and compassion.
In my work, I try to combine everything I have learned, from Western psychological techniques, to Eastern philosophy and the Wisdom Traditions of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, in order to create a holistic crucible for change.
I am the Co-Founder of Activate Your Alchemy, the Order of Honourable Men & TheRealMen training. I also offer personal coaching, and lead workshops, retreats and shamanic plant medicine ceremonies around the world, together with my wife, Salisha Aya.
Hi, I’m Hajee Pepping!
I’m the founder of Mankracht, a personal development company that has been supporting men in stepping into their fullest potential since 2015.
A former space engineer, I’m a trained Acceptance and Commitment Therapist, certified No More Mr. Nice Guy Coach, and previously co-teacher in The New Tantra.
I first came across men’s work in 2013. Since then, this path has radically changed my life. So far, this path has helped me navigate a major marriage crisis, become more confident, and find my calling.
Owen Cox, podcast host and digital culture theorist, described me as bringing a fierce, fiery, tantric drum and bass raver energy to the table. I cherish the relationship with my wife and my son. I maintain my physical shape through regular kickboxing, my mental well-being through meditation, and I nourish my soul through producing bass music and I like playing around with video editing.
What happens after you click the sign-up button?
The Mankracht Inner Freedom Bootcamp is a premium, application-only program.
After clicking the sign up button, you’ll be asked to fill in a quick application form.
We’ll then invite you for a 30-minute interview with Hajee, Niels or Adam.
This is to see if the Inner Freedom Bootcamp is right for you (and to prepare you for what’s to come).
If you are fortunate enough to attend a Men's training with these three—TAKE IT. They model a genuine fraternity: a bit of ribbing, a bit of truth calling, but most of all, sincerity and clarity in what is required to be a man in this crazy, messed-up world. Their presence alone challenges you to step up, to take ownership, and to show up fully. They don’t just teach; they embody what they preach, creating a space where growth is inevitable—if you’re willing to do the work.
