Kirsten Ribert Larsen (born in 1962) is employed as the coordinator of volunteers at the Martinus Centre in Klint.

Martinus reminds us that our experience of life is a training ground for humaneness. When we work together at the Centre, the focus is therefore on relationships, wisdom and lived experience. We also support one another in feeling secure, competent and equal. This makes it possible for one’s voluntary contribution to be an unconditional gift to the Centre, to one another and to oneself.

Kirsten’s role as the coordinator of volunteers contributes to this being the case. Kirsten is a qualified teacher and has had additional training as a reading consultant and in change management. Her working life has encompassed being a school teacher, providing professional and pedagogical guidance to educators and teachers, being a school consultant and most recently being a self-employed, plant-based caterer and one of the cooks at the Martinus Centre, Klint. Kirsten’s motto is “bring joy to the day’”
