SoulGround Residences

Visionary People Mentoring is an interdisciplinary collective that designs exclusive residences for high-profile personalities, integrating home and landscape as unique expressions of inner vision.

At Visionary People Mentoring, we believe the most remarkable homes are living portraits of their owners—spaces shaped by deep personal vision rather than by trends or luxury. Artists, entrepreneurs, and leaders are often those who dare to create homes that truly express who they are and what they stand for. Our mission is to inspire this new tradition: helping our clients shape their living spaces as personal masterpieces, moving beyond convention, and using architecture and landscape as a canvas for their unique story. We support you in translating your inner clarity and purpose into a retreat that radiates your identity, making your home not only a place to live but also a symbol of your becoming.

Our teams of top professionals work to create your SoulGround Residence:
a sanctuary where architecture and landscape are seamlessly united into one living, breathing expression of who you are becoming.

At the heart of every project lies visionary power—the inner clarity that shapes your life path, personal identity, and lasting impact. It is the power that lies in the constructive vision we have about our lives and that has a positive impact on others.

Rooted in sustainability, based on principles of organic architecture, and brought to life by world-renowned designers, each SoulGround Residence is a radiant space to live, to retreat, and—when opened to others—to inspire.

Each project unfolds in three carefully guided phases:

1. Our vision analysts, trained in the social sciences, begin with deep observation and immersion to map your visionary power through conversations, presence, and contextual study.

2. A co-creative team of architects, interior designers, landscape artists, and curators then translates this vision into the architectural and spatial language of your SoulGround Residence. We work as a collective, forming ad hoc teams. Our teams are drawn from a global circle of professionals who place sustainability at the heart of their work, integrating ecology, culture, and soul.

3. Finally, our communication experts shape the way your residence is revealed — selectively or publicly — as an authentic, artistic expression of your personal truth and legacy.

Welcome to SoulGround Residences —

where visionary power takes shape in home, garden, and life.

YOUR HOME BECOMES YOUR VOICE

Your visionary power is not a distant ideal. Visionary People Mentoring offers a path for those who know that true leadership is not only spoken — it is built, lived, and shared. This is why in our philosophy SoulGround Residences are not just for private comfort. These homes are deeply intimate yet may also be opened to communities for connection, retreat, and renewal. This is when they become shared sanctuary.

Your visionary power is a living current. It shapes your choices, your path, your becoming. We translate that current into space. We design your exclusive residence that becomes your sanctuary where your inner truth creates form, and your unfolding vision is held, reflected, and made real.

At Visionary People Mentoring, we don’t begin with walls —
we begin with what lives inside you.
Your visionary power, your truth, your direction.
From there, we create spaces that reflect your deepest becoming —
retreats where every detail supports the life you're meant to live.

Some spaces shelter you.
Ours reveal you.
Born from your inner truth and shaped by your visionary power,
each retreat is a visible expression of who you are —
and who you are called to become.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMWORK

No two life programs are the same.
That is why each project works with ad hoc multidisciplinary teams, carefully composed according to the specific visionary power of the client.

Your team may include architects, landscape designers, interior designers, experts in the search for meaning, cultural historians, artists, or symbolic craftsmen — depending on the needs of your life program. We curate and lead this team, ensuring that your SoulGround Residence fully expresses the depth and richness of your calling.

From that, we craft your SoulGround Residence that emerges as a living expression

THE STORY BEHIND VISIONARY PEOPLE MENTORING

Visionary People Mentoring is a project that has been in development over the past few years. In 2025, the model will be further expanded through networking to complete the operational process.

I am Thierry Limpens, the founder and director of the project. I have a broad education in the humanities and social sciences, in particular in social and cultural anthropology, in political science, and in religious studies.

Writer, thinker, rebel, man, father, husband, researcher, teacher, and activist, all with one constant: for three decades I have focused on researching what motivates people to want to do good for others.

With Visionary People Mentoring, I take the step from the academic world of research, which has taken me on travels in different parts of the world, to that of mentoring.

As an academic researcher, I have been featured on Euronews, on national TV channels in Belgium, Ireland, and Sudan, and in international journals, and I have spoken at international conferences. More about me as a researcher can be found here (academic CV, achievements, publications closed on 25-2-2022).

I’ve come to understand that truly visionary people are not only dreamers—they are builders. Builders of meaning. Builders of spaces. Builders of the visible world that supports an invisible journey.

At Visionary People Mentoring, I guide people who have cultivated their visionary power—people who have achieved something extraordinary in life, business, or culture—and are now ready to translate that vision into a home that reflects the legacy they wish to live and leave.

These are not just houses. They are SoulGround Residences: soulful retreats where architecture and landscape are not separate domains but one living expression of a deeper calling.

Art as the Language of Becoming

Visionary people carry something potent within—a clarity, a conviction, a message that has shaped their success. But often, the physical spaces they inhabit lag behind the evolution of their inner life.

That’s where I come in.

I believe art—especially when embodied through architecture and landscape—is the medium through which that inner life finds form. It creates a place of belonging for the future self.

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” — Thomas Merton

When we create a SoulGround Residence, we’re creating a new kind of artwork—one you can walk through, live in, and share. One that carries memory, spirit, rhythm, and purpose.

Architecture AND LANDSCAPING AS A REFLECTION OF YOUR Inner Mirror

A SoulGround Residence does not begin with floor plans or façades. It begins with listening. Deeply.

Who are you now, at this stage in your life? What does your inner world need to thrive? What would it mean to create a space that honors the path behind you, supports your present, and gestures toward your legacy?

People are the inspiration and foundation of every space we shape. This is why human experience lies at the heart of all our designs. This perspective transforms the very way architecture is envisioned and brought to life.

“The house shelters daydreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.” — Gaston Bachelard

SoulGround Residences is about your dreams—the kind that bring peace not only in the mind but also in stone, air, and earth. These dreams are translated into homes where architecture and the landscape are conceived as one fluid whole, not separate disciplines. The house should not be “in” the landscape. The house is the landscape. Walls are shaped by light. Rooms extend into planted courtyards. Views open to meaningful features. Nature is not ornamental—it is structural.

One powerful example of this is found in the homes architects design for themselves, which often reveal the purest expression of their own visionary power. They are not just shelters, but declarations of becoming: spaces where the personal and the professional meet, and where a private truth is offered, quietly, to the wider world.

A powerful example is Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West in the Arizona desert (see photo above)— not only the seat of his architectural legacy, but a pioneering experiment in sustainable and organic design. From the use of local stone and sand to the integration of low rooflines, breezeways, and water features, the compound harmonizes with the Sonoran Desert landscape rather than dominating it.

Wright’s Sun Trap House, part of this complex, exemplifies his approach to climate-responsive design: light is welcomed from above and reflected inward, while walls and openings follow natural flow patterns. This was not just a building. It was Wright’s evolving philosophy — that a home must emerge from the land, respond to the sun, and serve as a partner to nature.

Taliesin West served as Wright’s winter residence and studio from 1937 until the end of his life in 1959. Today, it continues to embody his living philosophy as the home of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation — an organization dedicated to preserving his legacy and advancing the principles of organic architecture. Recognized both as a National Historic Landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Taliesin West is not just a preserved space — it remains an active environment for tours, dialogue, and visionary thinking.

Taliesin West remains one of the clearest examples of what becomes possible when visionary power is given a place to live — architecture anchored in place, energy, and soul. At Visionary People Mentoring, we believe that this translation of visionary power into space is the central aim of everyone we work with: architects, art curators, interior and landscape designers, and expert analysts alike.

Our Work is for the Visionary Few

The people we work with are not just clients. They are creators. Founders. Artists. Leaders. Personalities who have lived their vision fully and are now ready to give it a home.

Some are retiring from the public stage and want a place that holds their essence. Others are still active—authors, spiritual teachers, and entrepreneurs—and want to share their retreat with others in curated ways. Some make it a sanctuary for personal reflection. Others open it seasonally for gatherings and legacy-building.

No two projects are the same. But all are born of one impulse: to live in a space that is aligned with the truth they carry inside.

From Vision to Form: The Journey We Offer

What we offer is more than a design service. It is a mentorship process. We begin with your vision and slowly translate that into a home and garden that are not only beautiful but also alive.

We work with world-class architects and landscape designers who understand symbolism, ecology, and soul. We bring in cultural curators, materials specialists, and craftspeople who build with local intelligence. And we anchor every project in sustainability—environmental, emotional, and cultural.

“Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers.” — Steve Jobs

What results is not just a space but a living retreat. A home where your inner life has room to breathe. A garden where your soul can unfold. A place that quietly radiates who you are and invites others to step into that light.
