Good News for Open Minded Souls
From Amsterdam to Bali, Ibiza to India, and beyond, Casey Godrie—also known as KC, Butterfly, or Kupu Kupu—offers his talents, vision, and support freely to creative and spiritual souls walking their own unique path.
Rooted in the values of Burning Man and the ancient principles of sharing and caring found in many spiritual traditions, KC believes that wisdom and guidance should be accessible to all—not just those who can afford the corporate rate of €500 for a two-hour session he charges in corporate circles.
That’s why he offers his time and energy for free. And if a contribution is involved, it goes directly to Aid Projects Asia, a foundation supporting disabled youth in Southeast Asia. From the heart.
Sharing Is Caring
KC offers everything he has gathered over the years—initiatives, projects, networks, skills, and lived experience—freely and without agenda. No fixed fees. No expectations. No schedules. Just presence, generosity, and flow.
He lives what he shares: a new world concept based on co-creation, generosity, and connection—inspired by global movements like Burning Man (USA), still okay, plus before it became to commercialized, Africa Burn & Bali Spirit Festival, plus today other, new, smaller, more conscious related, care-based, love-driven communities.
His life is an expression of Tantric living—where the climax of existence is found in lifting others up. Supporting, inspiring, empowering.
Let Love Rule. One Love.

Let’s Unite: A Dream for a Better World
This is not just KC’s dream. It’s a dream many of us share.
What began in 2012 as a simple spark—ihaveadreamtoo—evolved into wehaveadreamtoo, and eventually became letsunite.online. This initiative was born from a deep longing for a more just, loving, and balanced world.
The first version of the project took shape in collaboration with Tijn Touber and later Robert Zoon. Together, they attended a special event in Amsterdam, inspired by the presence of the Dalai Lama, whose visit catalyzed a wave of reflection and hope. That same year, the Occupy Movement and global activism platform Avaaz also fueled KC’s growing belief that we can—collectively—create real change. While Tijn and Robert continued their path focused on inner peace and meditation, KC felt a more activist call rise within him—one that spoke not only of harmony, but of justice.
From Daydream to Vision: A New Dream for Our Time
Just as Martin Luther King Jr. once dreamed of ending racial injustice, KC believes it’s now time for a new collective dream: To end poverty and injustice on a global scale. To unite across borders, beliefs, and backgrounds.
To restore hope in a system that’s lost its soul.
This dream isn’t political. It’s human.
It isn’t owned by anyone—it belongs to everyone who longs for a fairer world.
Imagine the Power of 99% United
We believe that the vast majority of people—maybe even 99%—quietly hope for a world that is more kind, fair, healthy, and whole. A world with equal opportunities. A world that puts people and the planet first. If we can activate even a fraction of that hope into visible unity, we can build one of the most powerful, inspiring movements the world has ever seen. This initiative has no hidden agenda.
It’s not about politics, money, or ego.
It’s about helping. Sharing. Growing. Together.
An Invitation to Join the Dream
Let’s Unite is not a structured movement—it’s a call.
A vibration. A gathering of energy and intention.
If the idea speaks to you, add your name.
Share it with others.
Use your voice, your platform, your creativity to spread the word.
Let’s show the world—and those in power—that a different way is possible. That the people are ready. That we’ve had enough of division, exploitation, and fear.
We believe in One Love.
One People. One Planet.
Power to the People.
Let’s Unite.

13. MIND THE WORLD
Mind The World (2010–2023) A concept about fair brands and good news .
This initiative was started by KC in collaboration with Tijn Touber and Robert Zoon in 2010. The idea? To spark a new wave of branding—one rooted in fair trade, ethical practices, and transparency.
We aimed to create a dynamic and accessible ranking system for brands, based on how responsibly they treat both people and the planet. By answering up to 100 questions related to labor practices and environmental impact, each brand could be transparently rated on one of three scales:
•100% Labour Responsibility
•100% Environmental Responsibility
•50/50 Balanced Responsibility
Our goal was to offer clear insights into which brands genuinely take responsibility and to inspire consumers to support those who do. The initiative helped inspire other movements and organisations working professionally in this field today, such as Conscious branding platforms like Rank a Brand, which we contacted often those days, and Media projects on stations like Radio Sublime, bringing more inspiring news into mainstream conversations
Spreading Positive, Meaningful News
Another important part of the project was outreach to news platforms like CNN and other major publishers, encouraging them to recognize the value of positive, inspiring stories. We believed—and still believe—that uplifting content has just as much power to engage and sell as negative news. People are ready for good news, and we wanted to prove it. Together with Tijn, a well-known author in the spiritual field, and Robbert, who brought his experience in conscious marketing, we worked to build an inspiring online presence.
Why the Project Ended (For Now)
While our concept gained momentum and influenced other initiatives, we eventually chose not to continue the website. As of 2023, the project is no longer live. We trust that the energy we put into it helped move the collective conversation forward.
If you’re curious about the concept or want to learn more, feel free to reach out. We’re happy to share the original materials and insights behind the platform.

5. BEACH CLUB GANPATI ; SPIRITUAL CENTRE ON THE DUTCH BEACH
Casey participated a few years for 50% in Beach Club Ganpati, a Good Karma Spiritual Centre on the Dutch Beach, on the leven of Amsyerdam, behind the Amsterdam water supply dunes, with Healings, Meditation, Yoga, divers Massages, Tai Chi, Biodanza, Ayurveda, Raw & Vegetarian Food, Smoke-Free Outside Terrace Places, Barefoot Dance Parties, Djembe Classes, Campfire etc. Everything on a beautiful location, away from the crowd, where is nude bathing allowed and where they had a permission for a Sauna Container, all near the mentioned dunes, where wild deer and foxes walk free along the sea, in the wild.
This beautiful location, in between Zandvoort and Noordwijk, is also the place, where Casey close by got his villa, where his family a year round lives, and he, himself lives a few times a year some weeks. A very clean-air, quiet area in the beautiful dunes without industry, pollution, any traffic, even no bikes, no horses, no dogs allowed but lots of deer, foxes, rabbits, aurochs, etc, close to Amsterdam.
People ask Casey why it is not there anymore. Some told Casey got blamed for the fact it’s gone… For those : If you want to know a bit about the Ganpati story about Casey’s point of view, as always trying to be as honest as possible, you can read on.
If not, let it go. Better let it go… as it’s a sad, not inspiring, story.
And not the story what it could have been… If you want to read more about it, be our guest., but our advise: “Skip it”.
GANPATI : THE STORY HOW AND WHY IT HAD TO STOP…
THE STORY NEXT IS JUST FOR THE GANPATI TRIBE. A SAD STORY ABOUT A SPIRITUAL PLACE WHICH HAD TO SHUT DOWN, FOR A REASON…,
SINCE KC DOESN’T LIKE TO TELL THE STORY OVER AND OVER AGAIN HE DECIDED TO PUBLISH IT HERE, FOR WHO IS INTERESTED. FOR THEM WHO LOVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
This story is published to avoid Casey needs to tell the story over and over when people ask him about it. When those people met the founder of Ganpati before, who told his version of the story, many of them are surprised about who Casey is, compared to the picture they made out of the story of the founder.
We quote Casey about his feeling about the Ganpati period :
“I’m happy with the period overall. Everywhere in coöperation some things don’t work, but focus on the bright side and let it go…..
Everybody got the right about her or his truth about interpretation.
You’re in a fight or discussion never responsible for actions of the other one. Who steals is a thief. The only one the other looses is some material stuff and/or money.
In general ; Every situation you can cancel or change by time or money is not a serious problem; so let it go…. let it go and focus on the beautiful parts of the situation and life in general. More than enough to shine.
Lies however should one and another try to avoid… coz this might affect opinions about others, who believe and might hurt many.
One Love”
The story ….
The founder was in serious trouble, could not pay the Ganpati bills anymore, sent an email in the Ganpati network, also to Casey.
As Casey was successful in many fields, also managing restaurants, pubs, festivals etc. he mailed he might be able to share his vision to help. In the next conversation the founder got the feeling Casey could be the man to professionalise and purify the Ganpati concept.So Casey got invited to participate by the founder of Ganpati. Casey first was hesitating. Then they had many, many conversations.
In the end he participated because he would love to help the founder and the beautiful network. He told the founder he preferred a construction with more people in stead of the, by the founder suggested, 2 person construction, him together with the founder.
The founder overwhelmed Casey with love, time, arguments and trustful words and finally the founder convinced Casey, even Casey’s wife and Casey’s finance department told him not to do it.
This after many many very clear and very serious conversations, discussions, appointments about who would do and deliver what and what not. All was clear……
One of the reasons Casey thought it might be difficult to have a partner like him was because Casey was very clear in what he didn’t want to deliver. Casey told he would not do any field work since he did his kind of jobs in his earlier life, when he started very successful places ; a very successful pub, ( de Tempelier ) funk-o-theek, a discotheque with only funky music in stead of disco, ( EXQ’S ) and an activity pub/stage/restaurant. ( de Egelantier)
Casey promised to be on the background and would only advise and inspire in that field. His partner, the founder, had one big request.
To remain the host, the gerant, the face of Ganpati, because this was his new world, his new identity.
Casey was completely happy with this idea because he didn’t want to become the face of Ganpati in stead of the founder, who was a super great host, in Casey’s opinion, as he still, after the situation, says !
For Casey it was even excellent because he was already often worshiped in different fields and ready to share and build something for this nice community.
So Casey payed 50%, 80.000 euro, most of the money for older bills and with the rest they started together to try to improve and purify the not good enough working concept.
Casey, interior designer, concept thinker, marketeer, would participate in the communication by newsletters, to supply his partner, who’s is less strong is this field but a real star in hospitality. Casey can still say there was no man in many years before he met him who gave him such a warm feeling during the period until he became a partner. Then slowly, step by step, things sadly got different.
Casey also did the content of the website, changed things via concept thinking, created a smoking free outside terrace, tried to work on a non-booze and vegetarian menu, arranged contracts for therapists, made it happen insurances want to insure the beach clubs, different as before, created a committed network, changed the interior, as interior designer and added vintage from his interior design gallery BeBoB Design Amsterdam. Also he selected and managed and communicated with the massage people, as well as therapists in healing, readings, meditation. Also inviting big groups for meetings and communication and planning with big institutions as Shanto’s Nataraj, Katiza Ivulic, yoga teacher, Tijn Touber, writer and meditation teacher, and Happiness, a spiritual orientated glossy, etc. was his job.
The fact Casey organised and managed those things maybe caused the break between his partner and him, because most of the initiatives became more and more reflected with Casey, who was not as much in the shade as the founder thought before, because this people loved to get inspired by him. Then, the founder told Casey one day, he didn’t feel comfortable because the father of the founder and the founder were painting the club and when Casey arrived the father told his son, you and me are the worker and Casey is like your boss, the nice gentleman not cooperating in the physical jobs. Even the roles were talked over and over for long time before, and Casey warned for this sentiment, before he decided to join the founder, as Casey knew this could be difficult, as he experienced in earlier partnerships, the founder felt bad about it at this moment. Part of the deal was the founder got paid for his job a salary before Casey and the founder should divide the profit, even while Casey was working a lot too, but not in the field; restaurant, terrace, bar, painting, building etc. but website work, making appointments, communication in general, deals with massage teams, managing skills, etc.
The founder was in the beginning especially happy Casey participated because there were a lot of bills to pay, for about 80.000 euro and the founder had no cash at all. So, to create a spiritual related version of Woodstock 69, more pure, no booze, no meat, smoking free terraces, meditation and workshop places in combination with massages etc. as the challenge for both was, he needed to find about 80.000 euro, for 50% of the company.
Casey suggested over and over, every time again a few more partners but the founder begged Casey to be the only one… Casey finally agreed.
Trying to purify the concept, Casey found out one of the sore points for the founder was that the founder was struggling because eating meat, drinking booze, smoking cigars … what made him, as he said, a less pure partner as Casey. In this he became more and more frustrated, as he shared with Casey, who was living the Ganpati spiritual lifestyle, away from this all, already long time before he participated in Ganpati. Casey was also too much into efficiency, and mentioned the parts in the organization which needed to be reflected and the founder didn’t feel the boss, making the rules, anymore, but felt controlled…. Then discussions started and ….
It happened to be a beautiful, but too short dream, stopped by a, maybe unnecessary, move of Casey’s partner, who still is not able, ready to reflect the whole story, even Casey asked many times, by an unnecessary bankrupt.
Casey tried many times but the founder keeps on ignoring him, even not answering him, when he talks to him, when they coincidentally meet.
He even tells people who meet Casey to be friends with him or with Casey….
Ashame and a, like Kareem Raihani, famous conscious DJ, and Tommy van Huystee, famous Breath-teacher, calls it, a missed chance, because the only way to heal for the founder.
And for Casey, what is left about the reasons why the founder behaves like this and even tells lies is till now only a matter of speculation…
Maybe his partner want to keep his, by his mind changed, own story alive….
Casey is ready to forgive and doesn’t claim a penny of the, in total about 120.000 euro, Casey invested and lost !! Casey doesn’t need apologises. He only wants to listen to his partners story and to tell his story, even no discussion necessary. just to listen to each other with a small chance of understanding. And hopefully the end of spreading untrue stories. Casey so far even didn’t explain anything about the situation, because the truth would be not nice for the founder and Casey prefers not to blame or judge.
The story is the story and Casey feels free to tell what happened now to avoid to end up in questions.
The founder and Casey were ready to support a dream, which was first of all a different dream, but the dream by the founder, who changed his dream close to Casey’s dream, before Casey got on board.
This dream sadly got frustrated by the founder via a not to Casey mentioned bankrupt for very little money, what Casey easily could have changed, but for what the partner chose not to mention until the fact was there…
Why ?? Casey doesn’t know.
Casey even tried to keep the holy place for the beautiful network and discussed this beautiful network, as Kareem Raihani, Tommy van Huystee, their friend Duco and more, maybe to manage it and got even the permission from the city of Zandvoort, who rented out the location, but in the end it didn’t work because of a construction in the Ganpati contract about a debt of 80.000 euro of the Pura Vida Holding from the founder, to pay if Ganpati would love to continue……
Pura Vida, the name of the holding b.v., of the founder would have been the name for the beachclub, when it was free as an url for a website.
The fact this was not was the reason why the founder chose Ganpati, after “La Pura Vida” which he tried to claim for a website before. This is what the partner of Casey later on told him…… La Pura Vida is a complete different energy as Ganpati though, more latin music and more macho men related,…. with a totally different crowd. Ganpati brought the founder of course into a complete different world and connected him to a complete different network as Pura Vida would have done…. Pura Vida is Southern American, about life, dancing, party, alcohol, drugs, etc. while Ganpati is much more spiritual, completely away from the Pura Vida life.
The life Casey is living : no drugs, no alcohol, no smoking, no coffee, no black tea, no meat, no news reading, no television but sports, no negative input, no stress, no rush was very much the Ganpati concept.
The founder got the feeling it happened for a reason, talked more and more about his belly feeling and became the more spiritual man, while he maybe would have been better off in a pure vida lifestyle.
About the whole story, in what Casey, still not knowing how and why, got blamed by his ex-partner Ganpati didn’t continu. That’s why some people ask Casey and also why Casey’s Ganpati story is written here now. Casey even heard from those people who spoke with his ex-partner before Casey was cheating money wise… Casey never was involved with the money. The only money he received was the last day, the entrance, and every penny he gave to his ex-patner.
Casey even told the founder total the private investments out before the book keeping would be 50/50 because Casey didn’t want a single penny what doesn’t belong to him and still doesn’t want anything what doesn’t come to him from the heart. Casey is wealthy enough and is grateful every day about all he got, what is much more than he could dream of, in all ways. A beautiful family, Health, Love, Money, Creativity, Freedom…
A bit more peace after a conversation with his ex partner would life even make more beautiful 🙂
Casey tried many times to initiate a chat with his partner, about forgiveness reflecting and letting it go, but not spreading lies in the world but let it go. The time seems still not to be there.
Casey is open for a conversation, one to one, with some or many friends or advisers, or as the last conversations. During this meetings the founder only wanted to speak with Casey when his brother in law and the lawyer were participating, where Casey came just by himself.
The founder is in whatever setting, welcome ! Any time !
Meanwhile Casey wants to share, also to his ex-partner, he is happy and feels blessed he was able to join this Ganpati dream for too short time and could meet beautiful souls over there. So thank you Ganpati !
Casey reflected and can understand the whole situation happened maybe also out of his presence. Maybe the driven personality, his confrontation with his ex-partner about inefficiency in work, and no match in the big vision and how to live the Ganpati Concept, pure from the heart was over the top for the founder.
As he didn’t and still doesn’t known about the reason, Casey found out some actions of the founder was not allowed, like selling the Landrover and more interior, which was 100% Casey’s, but decided not to sew the founder, what he could, because Casey found out the founder only owned the house of his parents, no income, no house himself, nothing … So Casey didn’t feel like sewing him and bringing the parents into trouble. Casey was asked by the brother in law to understand the situation of the founder of Ganpati, which was, according his messages, really sad and bad……
Then also Casey’s best friend Tijn Touber, spiritual writer and meditation teacher, had some troubles those days with Ode, a spiritual magazine. Tijn and Casey both decided to let it go and not to get to court, also as a message to the spiritual world. We got all the feeling we can live a nicer better world then the current world and then it is not a good signal to end up in court …
So Tijn took his loose for about 10.000 euro and Casey more then ten times more and let it go. Tijn and Casey are luckily financially in the position this amount doesn’t effect their life really. Of course they would have wished a better investment or way to spend this amount but … that’s about it.
It’s all about lessons and being able to grow, what is always part of the sentiment and a beautiful path, full of adventure, as heCasey said.
Take the lessons and keep on going, in love and trust !
Ganpati is about letting go. Casey succeeded, and he hope one day his ex-partner will be able to accept the situation, dare to reflect, take the lessons and let it go. Casey doesn’t blame him for anything, even not things his partner definitively know what was not right, and lives always the concept every individual is responsabel for his/her own choices and behaviour. Karma will solve the issues. There is always a moment to choose in future to improve and try to solve things by yourself before university takes over……
And in the end…. every problem to solve with money or time isn’t a real problem . so, let it go !!
One Love
4. DANCE PUB ; IF, Today “De Huiskamer” Haven 21 Breda
A dance pub in Breda in the same space where first was “de Tempelier” Concept ; Old days and modern rockabilly music, played by a DJ in style behind an old fifties fridge. This fifties fridge was rebuilt with 2 turn tables for records and displays for music and light, high from the floor. A drying machine was put on a frame, with a bulb and petticoat in it and became a table etcetera. A nice, different, fifties freaky place. .
3. ACTIVITY CENTRE / RESTAURANT / STAGE DE EGELANTIER
Activity and Dining Cafe/Restaurant in Breda A large place and a concept with theme nights, left wing political talks, performances, live music, folk singers, cabaret etc.
2. FUNK-O-THEEK EXQ’S ; Today Dok 19 Haven 19 Breda
A funk playing disc-o-theek (no disco music !) in Breda. This was a place, where he created an interior together with the students of art school St. Joost in Breda, and yearly they face-lifted this place. They changed it, even as a winning horse, completely. Art students identified themselves with this project and the right DJ’s made it happen that we got more and more famous because of playing the right music, imported from UK and USA, away and ahead of mainstream. They played f.i. Prince long time before he got famous.
1. BROWN PUB : DE TEMPELIER ; Today “De Huiskamer” Haven 21 Breda
This was the first long term different concept Casey started. A “brown” café” = Cozy Pub in Breda. The concept; soft lounge music and talking with your friends untill it got crowded. Once it got crowded the music changed and got turned up, the tables against the walls and chairs behind it, lamps high and it was time to party !!
They got a political engagement, sold Guatamala fair trade coffee, supported small scale left wing projects and were the meeting point for demonstrations against nucleair power etc. The last song was always a socialistic song, where clients, Casey and who ever wanted jumped on the tables or the bar to sing the socialistic song, with the left fist in the air. Songs to Unite and Stand Up. But we didn’t fit in any box because we were also the meeting point for football games of N.A.C, the football pride of Breda. One thing all the visitors had in common; Drinking like a Tempelier, a Dutch expression. They got the highest beer supply a square meter pub in the whole city ! Even still when Casey, after being extreme part of them for some years, gave up drinking himself. The party went on for all, also without alcohol for Casey.
