Yoga Creative Flow

Workshop

11.00 - 12.10 h

Where? Bonnefanten Museum (auditorium)

Workshop by Maria Stanford

This unique yoga flow weaves together the graceful transitions of Vinyasa with the mindfulness of Yin. As you move from one pose to another, you'll find yourself flowing through dynamic sun salutations, holding grounding warrior poses, and surrendering into deep stretches. The creative spark of this flow lies in its emphasis on personal expression, allowing practitioners to explore variations and modifications that resonate with their unique bodies and intentions. With each breath, you dive deeper into a meditative state, awakening your inner artist and leaving you feeling both physically rejuvenated and spiritually inspired.

We invite you to join us on the mat, harmonizing breath and movement into a beautiful symphony of self-expression and self-discovery. Feel free to bring your own mat!

Bonus: After the yoga you can visit the museum, we will cover your day ticket. If you want, you can upgrade to the yearly pass for €3.75! You can do this on-sight with cash or pin.

I Feel Good!

Training for employees

11.00 - 12.00 h

Where? Online

Training by Petra Suurmond (HR advisor) & Daniëlle Townsend (Learning & Development Advisor)

Starting with a kick-off on Friday, practical and inspiring self learning during the following days (about 1 hour a day) and a final online meeting on Wednesday.

Everybody wants to feel good, but how to increase your happiness or what to do to feel fit as a fiddle. People who feel good are healthier, more creative and more productive, and they live longer. Reason enough to start striving for happiness! In this workshop we start together with a 1 hour online meeting (kick off)on Friday, followed by a daily training session you do by yourself (approximately 1 hour a day) and an online wrap up together on Wednesday. It is community based learning, it means we learn together and learn from each other. A nice way to get to know other UM staff and to share experiences and get new insights on this topic.

Be fine as a fettle, get into the right mindset and take to life like a fish to water!

See you there! Danielle & Petra

The Art of Optimal FLOW Experience

Workshop

13.00 - 15.00 h 

Where? Bonnefanten Museum

Workshop by Laura Zwinkels and Marcella Winkelmolen

In an experience-oriented workshop you will investigate how you can create the optimal flow experience that suits your own needs. We do this by using art materials such as paint, chalk, modeling clay and drawing materials. You will be guided in an introduction to different ways of working with art and investigate what works for you and what does not. You then determine what your own conditions are for a FLOW experience and use these to create a challenging but feasible art project, experiencing flow during the process.

Bonus: After the workshop you can visit the museum, we will cover your day ticket. If you want, you can upgrade to the yearly pass for €3.75! You can do this on-sight with cash or pin.
