Wonderspace

Time:                      between 10h00 - 15h00
Where:                   Library Universiteitssingel 50 (FHML)  
                               meeting point info balie

 

So often we need to know, pitch in 20s, express what we think, feel and act on it. With Wonderspace I ask you to step away from the logical, from what ‘ought to be’ and experience what is. Embrace the unknown, engage your senses and wonder.  Wonderspace  is an interactive exposition, where you can walk, experience and reflect. Take as much time as you need. Just postpone the knowing and explore and sense what happens.

Walking through different installations you see things in a different light, and might act in a different way. You go through this experience alone and can take as much time as you need.  Afterwards we meet, have a cup of tea/coffee and you can share your experiences, thoughts and feelings and find meaning together.

See you between 10 – 15hrs (most of the participants take between 30 mins – 1 hr to walk through it and have a conversation afterwards).

Ingrid Nouwens is the creator of Wonderspace and is a corporate artist!

Creating life with courage: managing our fears

Time:                 11h00 - 13h00
Where:              Edlab - Garden room, Tapijnkazerne 23
Trainer:              Christiaan Caanen, Global Young Leaders

 

After this workshop you'll walk away with more courage and tools to manage your fears. Each of us is born courageous. When we're kids we climb trees without fear of falling, try new things without fear of failing, speak our truth without fear of getting judged, and love without fear of getting hurt. Through some of the lesson we learn while growing up, many of us learn to let go of this courage and give fear the upperhand. This starts to affect our mental health, feelings, and the decisions we make. Creating our life from fear is not something wrong but it does give you a totally different life experience then creating from courage. During this workshop, you'll learn more about where fear comes from, why FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real, and you'll learn practical tools to manage your fears and turn them into courage.

Time:                 14h30 - 16h30
Where:              Kaleido
Trainer:             Creative Workshop by Gerda Galenkamp

 

Does your mind need a break? Do you find meditation difficult? Do you want to relax and at the same time train your brain?

Join the Knitwits!

We are hosting a get-together around the beautiful craft of knitting. We will teach you the basics: how to hold the needles and thread and how to start a project. Everyone can learn these skills. You will find that knitting can relieve stress and tension. There is no pressure. You don’t have to be creative. One moment you will see a soft thread going through your fingers. The next moment you will have a sock or a scarf in your hands. Immense gratification.

 

 

 

Power Yoga 

Time:                 17h00 - 18h00
Where:              UM Sports - Body & Mind Studio

 

Power yoga is a vigorous and fitness-based style of yoga that focuses on building strength, flexibility, and stamina. It is derived from the traditional practice of Ashtanga yoga but differs in its approach by being less rigid and more adaptable to individual preferences. Power yoga often incorporates elements of cardio and strength training, making it an intense and dynamic workout.

 

If you’re looking for an active yoga practice rather than a purely meditative one, this is the best way to start your weekend!
