Meditation by InnBetween

12.00 - 14.00 h

Where? InnBetween, Capucijnenstraat 122

 

Every week Wednesday at noon, have an opportunity to take a deep breath, sit down, and meditate to find your balance back.
Mid-week is a good time to practice consciousness, love, and silence.
Join Petra for one hour of guided meditation and relaxation in which the experience of silence is the most important.

Petra Körmendy has been teaching meditation for more than 20 years, she is trained in different meditation traditions, such as vipassana, Sufi, zen, mantra, kriya, tantra, and several Christian meditation techniques. She teaches basics of enabling your heart to feel, your mind to silence, and your whole being to open.

Because of the vulnerable nature of practicing meditation and thus in the interest of everyone attending, we like to ask you to join on time. In case you happen to be late, please simply join for the next meditation on Monday at 9:30.

Fuck Up Night

Open space by the Wellbeing Movement

19.00 - 21.00 h

Where? Kaleido, Tapijnkazerne 21

 

Join us for an evening of candid storytelling at the Fuck Up Night event. Have you ever experienced a colossal blunder that left you reeling? Wondering how to bounce back and glean wisdom from your mistakes? Our event invites you to explore just that.

Three courageous speakers will take the stage to share their personal tales of failure and resilience. From professional setbacks to personal slip-ups, no stone will be left unturned as we delve into the realm of human error. Through their narratives, our speakers will reflect on how they coped with their missteps and the invaluable lessons they learned along the way.

But this event isn't just about airing our dirty laundry—it's about fostering meaningful dialogue and embracing the transformative power of failure. By normalizing discussions around failure and embracing vulnerability, we hope to cultivate a supportive community where individuals can learn, grow, and thrive.

Join us for an evening of reflection, connection, and above all, the celebration of the beautiful messiness of being human.
