The End of Delusion: From Blind Faith to Rational Bond

March 1, 2026 12:30 pm - 4:00 pm

The End of Delusion: From Blind Faith to Rational Bond

Tired of asking “What do you do for work?” and listening to bad dating advice? We are too. Come for the drinks, stay for the brutal truths, and leave with genuine connections.

Real People. Real Opinions.

We throw out a statement-provocative, funny, or deep-and you decide where you stand. Whether you agree or disagree, the conversation starts automatically. It's the perfect environment to meet open-minded people, challenge your own thinking, and actually have fun. No awkward silences, just real talk.

WE INVITE YOU TO JOING OUR NEXT CONNECT-IT EVENT.

We are switching gears. You asked for more depth, so we are dissecting the one subject everyone is obsessed with but nobody seems to understand: Love.

This afternoon, we are declaring war on the “Disney Delusion.” Why is “The Spark” usually just a trauma response? Why is a 50/50 relationship actually a recipe for resentment? And why is “Trust” a bad metric to base a relationship on?

This isn't a therapy session, and it definitely isn't a lecture. We are breaking down the complex mess of modern dating into bite-sized, controversial statements so everyone can follow along, debate, and connect the dots. We are moving from the lies society told you to the reality you need to build.

Where: Brandpunt, Breda
When: Sunday, February 1st - 12:30 (Welcome) | 13:00 (Start Event) to 16:00
Price: €10
Language: English (open-minded Dutchies welcome)

Includes: Good coffee, deep questions, and a reality check.

Did you know:

Psychology shows that two people bond faster over a shared dislike than a shared interest.

It takes only 7 seconds to make a first impression.

Sustained eye contact during a debate releases oxytocin

You are actually seen as more likeable and attractive when you make a mistake

People who spend more time on meaningful conversation report much higher levels of happiness.

WE INVITE YOU TO JOING OUR NEXT CONNECT-IT EVENT.

We are switching gears. You asked for more depth, so we are travelling back to the source. This afternoon, we explore the fundamental shift from Mythos (stories of Gods) to Logos (logical reasoning). Why did Western philosophy originate in Ancient Greece? What were the specific “ingredients” that allowed them to build the foundation of the modern world? This might sound vast, but we promise: no dry lectures. We are breaking this journey down into bite-sized proportions so everyone can follow along, debate, and connect the dots between ancient myths and modern thought.

Where: Brandpunt, Breda
When: Sunday, February 1st - 12:30 (Welcome) 13:00 (Start Event) to 16:00 Price: €10,-
Language: English (open-minded Dutchies welcome)

Includes: Good coffee, deep questions, and a fresh perspective on history

Did you know:

Thales, the “first philosopher,” was so busy looking at the stars he fell into a well.

The Oracle of Delphi (who predicted the future) was probably just breathing in hallucinogenic gases from the earth.

The word Mythos simply means “Story” or “Word.” It wasn't originally about lies; it was about meaning.

The word “School” comes from the Greek word Schole, which actually means “Leisure.”

The Ancient Greeks had no sacred text. Their “religion” was a mix of poetry, ritual, and local gossip.

It’s a really fun way to learn different things about personal development and apply them straight away.

Survival is not life.

Do you often feel overwhelmed? As if you are just rambling on? During this edition of Mentali-Time, we will work on survival mode. Discover what stress really does to you and how you can take better care of yourself, both mentally and physically.

Where: Brandpunt, Breda
When: Saturday 25 October 2025, 12:30 to 16:00
How much: €25,- €10 (Maximum 25 participants)

Everyone has stress. But what if you get so used to it that you don't even realise you are passing yourself by? This afternoon will help you learn to listen to your body again. Survival is smart, but you are more than your stress.

Together with guest speaker Jamie Vollmer, we explore stress signals, survival behaviours such as procrastination, partying or numbing, and realistic ways to process tension. No dry theory, but an interactive workshop in which you will encounter yourself and learn to understand yourself better.

Whether you are stuck, tiptoeing or just want to understand how your body deals with stress, this event is for you. Expect exercises that really help you move forward, an open atmosphere and insights you can apply immediately.

Give yourself a reset and choose peace, direction and direction.

Every Inner Confidence event comes with one rule: come for the vibes, stay for the insight.

I am Enrique Eckenbach-speaker, coach and someone who knows stress inside and out. Not to complain about it, but to help you deal with it without losing yourself. During Survival, I take you through the storm: no woolly stuff, but honest insights, practical tools and a down-to-earth look at what stress does to you. Because survival is not about doing everything perfectly, but about keeping yourself afloat when life gets tough. Ready to look the beast in the eye? Let's go!

About Enrique

You don't recognise stress until it's too late.

Here’s what we’re getting up to.

Mentali-Time: Survival is about stopping pushing through and starting listening to yourself. This edition helps you see what stress does to you before you get stuck. Trainer Jamie Vollmer takes you through how stress works in your body and head, and what you can do yourself to handle stress better. Simple, clear and applicable.

We will not talk about stress, we will work with it. You will discover how stress manifests itself in you, where it comes from and what helps you get rid of it in a healthy way. Think about breathing, making choices, feeling your limits and practising in small steps. No woolly stuff. But recognition, humour and concrete tools.

By the end of the afternoon, you will have a personal action plan in your hands. You know where your stress starts, what you can do differently and how to take better care of yourself. Not perfect, but real. And that is exactly what you want.

Here’s what you’re in for:

  • Inspiring speakers who will challenge you
  • Young, motivated participants.
  • A no-nonsense place to recover.
  • An experience you won't soon forget.
  • You learn more about yourself than you expected.

F.A.Q.

How do I actually know if I am in survival mode?

If you keep scrolling while your head is full. When you snap at people who aren't doing anything wrong. When you don't feel like doing anything, but also don't know why. These are often signals. Survival sometimes feels like you are just ‘busy’, but in the meantime your body is already running out of steam. This workshop will help you recognise those signals earlier.

I put off everything and then only feel worse. What can I do about that?

Procrastination is not laziness, it is often a reaction to stress or ambiguity. During Mentali-Time, you will learn what is underneath that procrastination and how to get yourself moving again without pushing yourself. Small steps, big gains.

Why am I sometimes so short with people I love?

Because your head is full. Because your energy is depleted. And because it feels safer to explode with someone close to you. It's not nice, but it's human. In this workshop, you will gain insight into that pattern and discover what you need to lose yourself less in the hustle and bustle.

It’s a really fun way to learn different things about personal development and apply them straight away.

Do you see what is real?

Your senses seem reliable, but often show you something other than what is really there. Your brain complements, makes assumptions and filters out more than you think. In this edition of Mentali-Time, you will discover how your perception works and how to learn to look more sharply at the world around you.

Where: Brandpunt, Breda
When: Saturday, November 29, 2025, 12:30 to 16:00
How much€25,- €10.- (Max 25 participants)

How do you know if what you see is correct? Whether your assessment of a situation is correct? Whether you are jumping to conclusions? Your brain makes choices at lightning speed and fills in missing information automatically. This is sometimes useful, but also often misleading. In this event, you will discover how this works and how you can train yourself to perceive better.

Speaker Levi Kats lets you experience how your automatic thinking patterns arise - and how quickly your senses make you believe something that is not quite right. With illusions, recognisable situations and simple exercises, he helps you feel the difference between what you think you see and what actually happens.

For anyone curious about how the brain works, how quickly you fool yourself and how to recognise it. You will get down-to-earth insights and concrete tools that you can immediately apply in your daily life.

Look again. Think again. And discover what you didn't see before.

Illusionist & Expert in Sensory Confusion

“Don't believe everything you think.”

Levi Kats makes you doubt what you see and be more consciously present precisely because of it.
As an illusionist, he explores how easily your senses can be controlled, and how quickly your brain creates a story that is not always accurate.
Levi doesn't just talk about illusions.
He makes you realise how they originate, in your body.
So that you become sharper in your outlook, less likely to get caught up in noise and more in control of what you believe.

“We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”
George Bernard Shaw

Guide Image

I am Enrique Eckenbach speaker, coach and someone who believes that feeling is the new thinking. During Sensation, we dive into the wonderful world of your senses: how touch calms your nervous system, how smell and sound guide your mood, and how your body often already knows what your head is still trying to grasp. Don't expect dry theory, but an experience that shakes up your whole system. Because if you really learn to listen to your senses, not only what you feel will change, but also how you experience the world around you. Fancy feeling yourself again? Let's go.

About Enrique

Looking, doubting, discovering

Here’s what we’re getting up to.

You think you are consciously perceiving, but your brain has decided something long before you realise it. What you see, hear or feel is filtered and filled in at lightning speed. In this session, you are challenged to question your own perception. You examine how quickly you draw conclusions, where this goes wrong and how you can break through this automatic reflex.

Together with speaker Levi Kats, you will discover how automatic thinking patterns arise and how to create space to respond more clearly. You will experience how your senses shape your image of reality and how to deal with them more consciously, without losing yourself in assumptions, illusions or plausible stories.

It is not about right or wrong, but about curiosity and mental acuity. You will go home with practical tools to be less quick to judge, listen better and be more consciously present. What you experience is only valuable when you actually notice it.

Here’s what you’re in for:

  • Inspiring speakers who will challenge you
  • Young, motivated participants.
  • A no-nonsense place to recover.
  • An experience you won't soon forget.
  • You learn more about yourself than you expected.

F.A.Q.

Why does one stupid comment of mine keep running through my head all day?

Because your brain mainly remembers what went wrong or felt uncomfortable. This is a survival mechanism, not an objective representation of what really happened. By understanding how this works, you can learn to let go of what makes no sense more quickly.

How often do I get things wrong without realising it?

More often than you think. Your senses do not give neutral information, they filter and fill in. What you know for sure is often just a quick assessment by your brain. During this event, you'll discover how that works - and what you can do to fall into that trap less.

What will I get back if I put in a few hours of my Saturday here?

You will learn how your head sometimes gets in your way without you realising it. You will be given practical tools to see more clearly, to draw fewer conclusions and to judge yourself less harshly. No woolly stuff, just some insights that stick.

Then this is your moment to do things differently. Mentali-Time helps you feel what you need and stay true to it.

Together with Rick van Brussel (Motivation Hunters), you will dive into the mechanism of people-pleasing, learn how to make clear choices and practise saying ‘no without fuss’. Don't expect a sermon but insights, tools and conversations that stick. You will go home with more clarity, direction and peace of mind.

Whether you often cross your own boundaries, or simply want to be stronger in your shoes: this event will give you the space, the questions and the support to do so. In a safe setting, with others who want to grow as much as you do. Powerful, vulnerable and without excuses.

Stop saying sorry for who you are. You get to choose. And this is the moment.

About Inner Confidence

Inner Confidence is here to help you back yourself — so you can actually enjoy a night out or chill with your mates, instead of stressing about uni, your looks, or whatever else your brain’s currently spiralling over.

You’re a total badass in your own way. By helping everyone tap into their inner confidence and be more open, we’re aiming for a world where talking about your feelings isn’t weird — it’s just normal. A society with less judgement, fewer boxes, and way more honesty.

Because honestly — why would a bunch of grey old blokes have a clue how you feel? At our events, we create a safe, open space where you can share what’s on your mind, work through it, and maybe even learn something from it. Every Inner Confidence event comes with one rule: come for the vibes, stay for the insight.

Rick combines his passion for personal growth and leadership with strengthening self-confidence and assertiveness. Drawing from his own experiences, he helps young adults set boundaries, manage their time and make more conscious choices. His approach is practical, accessible and focused on direct action. With Rick, it's all about taking steps, taking charge and becoming the leader of your own life-on your own terms.

Guide Image
During Assertiveness, I take you through how to stand firm without shouting, how to say no without guilt and how to listen without losing yourself. It's not about getting tougher, but about being clearer. With more peace, more self-confidence and more space for who you really are. Expect practical insights, recognisable situations and tools you can apply immediately. No masks, no tricks, just you learning to stand up for yourself with empathy, respect and courage.

About Enrique

Setting boundaries without drama

Here’s what we’re getting up to.

Sometimes you feel you are over your limit, but smile anyway. You say yes while everything in your body screams no. You can let go of that pattern. In this session, you discover where your boundary starts, what is so exciting about it, and how you can stay firm without getting tough. No drama, no tricks. Just you, honest and clear.

We work with realistic scenarios, personal reflection and playful assignments. You will learn what triggers you to say ‘yes’ anyway, and how to give a different answer from self-confidence. Including the Pomodoro method as a tool to guard your time and protect your energy.

This is not an afternoon where you sit back passively. You will experience, practice, share and grow. And no, it doesn't have to be perfect. It's about getting moving and feeling that you are in control. In your way, at your pace. No more sorry.

Here’s what you’re in for:

  • Inspiring speakers who will challenge you
  • Young, motivated participants.
  • A no-nonsense place to recover.
  • An experience you won't soon forget.
  • You learn more about yourself than you expected.

F.A.Q.

How important are routines really?

More than you think. Not because they make your life perfect, but because they remove noise. Routines give you rhythm, so you don't have to fight with yourself every day. They make space for what really matters. Not tight. Firm. Not pressure. But direction.

Why is ‘I have to work’ easier than ‘I don't want to’?

Because ‘I have to work’ feels safe. You sound busy. Important. Socially responsible. But ‘I don't want to’ takes guts. Because then you say: this doesn't suit me, even if you expect something else. And that is exciting. But being honest is stronger than please behaviour. You only feel boundaries when you dare to express them.

We're in those last reps. Hype me up.

Let go of that doubt. This is your moment.
Pull through that pain. You still have strength left. Use it.
No excuses. No soft shit.
Keep breathing. Keep pushing.
Everything that matters is in this rep.
Flick through now and finish it.

Mentali-Time: Love

February 28, 2026 12:30 pm - 4:00 pm

You're used to fixing it yourself. But what do you do when someone gets really close? Mentali-Time: Love is about staying open where you normally block. No masks, no noise. But discovering how to allow love without losing yourself. Allowing is guts. This is where it starts.

It’s a really fun way to learn different things about personal development and apply them straight away.

Stop running away from love

You solve it yourself. Always have. But what do you do when someone is really trying to get at you?
This edition of Mentali-Time is about the art of receiving. Not as a woolly concept, but as guts: daring to stay open where you normally shut down. You will learn to feel what blocks you and how to get through it without losing yourself.

Where: Brandpunt, Breda
When: Saturday 28 February 2026, 12:30 to 16:00
How much: €25,- €10 (Maximum 25 participants)

Many people do not know how to receive. They prefer to give or keep their distance. Does that sound recognisable? In this session, you explore why you flee from what is actually allowed to come close. And how you can learn to allow step by step without losing your boundaries.

Speaker Petra van Liere will take you into the world of attachment, emotional safety and defence mechanisms. You will recognise your own patterns and get tools to practice openness, even when it gets uncomfortable.

Mentali-Time is not a group chat with soft pillows. It is raw, down-to-earth and human. You don't have to solve anything. Just be present to what comes in. This is not a quick fix, but a start.

Admission is guts. And that's where everything starts.

Guide Image

Love is beautiful, complicated, intense, confusing and everything in between. Enrique invites you to explore what love means to you, not just romantically but love for yourself, for others and for life. He talks about connection, desire and trust, but also about fear, patterns and the tendency to give more than is good for you. Not a fairy tale, but an honest and sometimes confronting journey towards more openness, gentleness and courage. You are welcome, just as you are.

About Enrique

Connection requires something other than control

Here’s what we’re getting up to.

You are used to keeping an overview. Staying calm. Being strong. But connection requires something different. In this session, you explore what it's like not to fix, not to avoid, but to stay present to what comes in. Without judgement. Without haste.

Together with Petra van Liere, you will work with attachment, protective mechanisms and the tension between distance and closeness. You learn to recognise where you close yourself off and practise ways to stay open precisely there. Not grandiose or emotional, but achievable and honest.

You leave with insight into your own patterns, practical tools and perhaps something softer than you expected. Mentali-Time is not therapy, not a stage, but a place to practice being real. This is where connection begins.

Here’s what you’re in for:

  • Inspiring speakers who will challenge you
  • Young, motivated participants.
  • A no-nonsense place to recover.
  • An experience you won't soon forget.
  • You learn more about yourself than you expected.

F.A.Q.

What happens when I do NOT laugh away a compliment once?

You will survive. Really. Really super few people have died from a compliment.
And if you don't laugh it off, give yourself a chance to feel it. Uncomfortable? Sure. But also valuable. You don't have to do anything in return. Just don't say anything for a while. Let it land. That's enough already.

How do I say “this touches me” without immediately saying “joke!” after it?

Just saying. And then shut up. No joke after it, no voice toning it down. Let it be uncomfortable. That's not bad, that's real. And that's where connection begins.

OK, you tell me what to do then!

3 tips for learning to receive love:

Breathe. React later.
You don't have to say something back immediately. Slowing down is often the best thing you can do.

Just say “thank you”.
Don't rebound, don't analyse, don't minimise. Just receiving. That's it.

Feel first, fix later.
You don't have to understand or fix it right away. What you feel is not a problem to fix. Stick with it, even when it feels awkward. That's precisely when you learn something.

You grow in the network you choose

Words that build the circle in which you blossom.

You will engage in a workshop by Tim van der Meer, followed by an in-depth reflection session guided by Enrique. Expect a warm atmosphere, stimulating questions and surprising insights about how you communicate, who you attract and what you need from the people around you.

Whether you want to learn to better express what you are feeling, make new friends or are simply ready to gather people around you who allow you to grow. This is your time to practice, connect and choose an environment that strengthens you.

  • Inspiring speakers who will challenge you

F.A.Q.

What is the fastest way to engage new people?

Meeting new people does not have to be an uncomfortable struggle. By trying out different styles of communication - as if you were an actor in a new role - you will discover what works. Think of it as a game: test, play and see what suits you. The more often you practice, the easier and more natural it will become!

Why do my own stories feel less interesting than those of others?

You have experienced your own stories a hundred times, so they may feel boring to you. But to others, they are new and valuable! The difference is in how you tell them. By using tension, emotion and a clear message, you can turn your experiences into engaging stories that people really want to listen to.

Which people make me grow?

The five people you hang out with the most have a huge impact on your mindset and success. Take a close look at your social circle: do they energise you or keep you small? By consciously choosing who you spend time with, you build a network that inspires and moves you forward. You decide who you have around you - so why not have people who make you shine?

Your First Insight is Often the Right One

You know that feeling. You already know it, but are still in doubt. This is the moment you learn to listen to that first signal. No long thoughts, no regrets afterwards. Just you, your direction, and the courage to trust it. Be surprised by insights that touch you, and tools that help you take decisions faster.

Mentali-Time: Intuition is about making choices without getting stuck in your head. We will not look for the ‘right’ answers, but for the confidence to choose. You will learn to recognise your own signals better and discover how intuition can help you live faster, lighter and more honestly.

Speaker Jasper Burrow will take you through an interactive workshop where you are the focus. No talking from a podium, but direct experience, practical tools and exercises that help you feel what is right for you. Expect recognition, down-to-earthness and direction.

Whether you are always in doubt, or simply want to learn to listen to what you have long felt, this edition will help you move forward. You don't have to force anything. Just take yourself seriously for a moment.

Take that first step. In fact, you already knew you were going to take it.

Enrique helps you reconnect with what you already know deep inside. Not with vague theories, but through practical experiences that teach you to trust your gut feeling.

About Enrique

Choosing without staying in doubt.

Here’s what we’re getting up to.

Mentali-Time: Intuition is about learning to trust your first hunch. You often already know what is right, but your head is still looking for proof. In this edition, you will learn to feel your direction again. No vague stories, but sharp exercises, recognisable examples and insights that will help you choose faster, lighter and more confidently.

You will work with body-oriented work, intuitive choice assignments and moments of reflection in which you yourself are at the wheel. Under the guidance of Jasper Burrow, you will learn to feel the difference between doubt, fear and real direction. You will be given practical tools to take yourself seriously, which you will immediately notice in your daily life.

We don't create a perfect version of yourself. We help you get closer to that silent knowing. Intuition is not a trick. It is a muscle. And we will train it. Expect peace, clarity, recognition and the motivation to think less and do more.

Here’s what you’re in for:

  • Inspiring speakers who will challenge you
  • Young, motivated participants.
  • A no-nonsense place to recover.
  • An experience you won't soon forget.
  • You learn more about yourself than you expected.

F.A.Q.

How do I know if my intuition is correct?

Your intuition often makes itself felt before your head interferes. Think of a sudden ‘yes’ in your gut or a clear aversion for no reason. If you learn to be quiet and look back at previous choices, you will recognise when your first feeling was right. That trust grows with practice.

How do I distinguish intuition from fear or doubt?

Intuition feels calm and clear, even when things are tense. Fear often feels chaotic, busy or restless. The difference is usually in the body. Intuition comes from calmness. If you feel you have to rush or force things, it's usually not your intuition. Exercise and stillness help you learn to feel the difference.

Can I train intuition?

Yes. Intuition is like a muscle. The more often you pay attention to it, the stronger it becomes. Through reflection, body work and moments of silence, you get to know the signals. You will notice that making choices becomes easier and that you more often think: I actually already knew it.

Come and enjoy the speakers, be pampered by the barrista and experience the impressive workshops. Whatever you are looking for, we have it. Or aren't you looking? Fck it! Fine too. Come and enjoy yourself. You choose your ideal party; chit-chat with like-minded people, get inspired in the main area, or unwind in the café. Whatever you choose, after this day you will believe in happiness. And you don't even need the state lottery to do that.

No fluffy stuff!

Make no mistake. This event is nice and superficial, with two public speakers providing theory
is put in rock-hard perspective with a good dose of humour. After all, we're not just going to run here
breathing and drumming there should be laughter too. 'Tis also our free Saturday afternoon.

These legends came before you.

Mentali-Time has given me different insights about myself, and about other people. How to get to know people, and what certain signals can mean.

Mentali time was exactly what I needed during a very stressful period. Thank you!

I have learned through the course to learn to listen to my inner compass. Intuition has definitely been strengthened.

It’s a really fun way to learn different things about personal development and apply them straight away.

Let Life Do Its Work

Sometimes you do everything right. You live consciously, you take steps, you try to do the right thing. And yet you receive a blow. Or another one. It feels like life is working against you exactly when you are trying to grow. What then? In this edition of Mentali-Time, you will go in search of strength that is not in control, but in trust. Don't expect any floaty stuff, but honest insights, peace and space to feel in control of yourself again.

Where: Brandpunt, Breda
When: Saturday 27 June 2026, 12:30 to 16:00
How much: €25,- €10 (Maximum 25 participants)

You know the drill. You finally feel like you're making strides, and just then everything seems to backfire. You lose track of things, doubt yourself or simply feel tired of having to do things. This event does not give you a ready-made solution, but does give you the space to feel again what you can rely on when things get difficult.

In an interactive workshop by Sarai Mathrath and a collaborative reflection, you will discover how to let go without giving up. How to find peace without falling silent. And how to learn to move with life instead of fighting against it. You don't have to fix everything. Sometimes standing still is enough.

For anyone who sometimes wonders: why does it seem like life is deliberately working against me? And: what can I do when I am at a loss for words? Come as you are. No answers, but direction. And maybe a little peace too.

Let it happen for a while. Let life do its work. And discover what emerges when you no longer have to carry it on your own.

Why would a bunch of grey old blokes know what’s going on in your head?

About Inner Confidence

Inner Confidence is here to help you back yourself — so you can actually enjoy a night out or chill with your mates, instead of stressing about uni, your looks, or whatever else your brain’s currently spiralling over.

You’re a total badass in your own way. By helping everyone tap into their inner confidence and be more open, we’re aiming for a world where talking about your feelings isn’t weird — it’s just normal. A society with less judgement, fewer boxes, and way more honesty.

Because honestly — why would a bunch of grey old blokes have a clue how you feel? At our events, we create a safe, open space where you can share what’s on your mind, work through it, and maybe even learn something from it. Every Inner Confidence event comes with one rule: come for the vibes, stay for the insight.

Sarai Mathrath guides young adults in finding calm and direction when life becomes overwhelming. Combining spirituality with down-to-earthness, he helps you slow down without falling silent. His sessions focus not on solving, but on daring to be present with what is. He gives you space to let go of what no longer works, and build trust in what is not there yet. With Sarai, you don't work harder, but feel more deeply. And that is often exactly where the shift that is needed lies.

What if you don't have to understand everything in order to trust it? During Trust, we dive into the big questions that have no set answers. We talk about faith, about spirituality, about death and what might come after. About living with open hands instead of frenetically keeping control. Whether you are religious, spiritual or just curious, this is a place to feel what faith really means to you. No dogmas, no finger pointing, just open conversations, deep reflection and space to doubt as well as believe. Are you open to something bigger than yourself? Then this is your moment.

About Enrique

Slow down without stalling

Here’s what we’re getting up to.

Sometimes it feels like you're doing everything right and life still undercuts you. This can frustrate, discourage or make you doubt yourself. During this afternoon, you will discover how not to push those moments away, but rather use them to become more solid. No quick fix, but tools to find peace in the chaos.

We start with a short intro and recognisable reflections on control and trust. Then Sarai Mathrath takes you through an interactive workshop where you learn how to stay present in difficult moments. You practice letting go without giving up. And with trust without having to be sure of everything.

In the second part of the event, you will take time for yourself. Through a creative or physical assignment, you will discover: what am I trying to hold onto that is actually holding you back? You don't have to do it perfectly. You don't have to carry it alone. You get to let this happen your way, at your pace.

it's what you get:

  • Inspiring speakers who will challenge you
  • Young, motivated participants.
  • A no-nonsense place to recover.
  • An experience you won't soon forget.
  • You learn more about yourself than you expected.

F.A.Q.

What if I feel I don't actually need this event?

We can. We often only think about reflection or rest when we get stuck. But just when things are still going reasonably well, you can discover a lot about how you deal with pressure, control and setbacks. Think of it as a mental MOT. You don't have to be broken to get stronger.

Should I share anything about myself?

No. Everything we do is an invitation, not an obligation. You may listen, participate, reflect or just observe. There is room for your pace and boundaries. You choose what to share and what to keep to yourself.

I am not spiritual, so is this for me?

Yes. We're not going to talk about chakras or affirmations. But we will talk about real questions, such as: what if life is working against you? How do you stay calm when you're at a loss? And how do you build confidence when you have lost it for a while? This is for anyone looking for peace, direction and solidity.
