Eleven Monkeys

I'm Johan Herder, a filmmaker, photographer, and visual storyteller exploring the world through travel, human connection, and meaningful conversations.

On this channel you'll find cinematic short films, travel documentaries, visual stories, and reflections on consciousness, exploring the human experience, Inner work, creativity, and what it means to live an authentic life. I document interesting people, unique cultures, transformative experiences, retreats, and the lessons that emerge along the way.

While topics often touch on spirituality and self-discovery, the approach is grounded, practical, and rooted in real-life experience rather than ideology.

• Cinematic travel films
• Documentary-style storytelling
• Retreats, rituals, and transformative experiences
• Authentic conversations with inspiring people
• Visual essays on life, freedom, creativity, and human potential

This channel is an invitation to explore the world—and yourself—from a deeper perspective.
