Mentali-Time: Love

Great speakers, interaction and a day to remember.

Disclaimer: You may accidentally learn something about yourself during this event

which will leave you amazed

We invite you...

...to step out of your comfort zone.... Or just stay in it, ya know. We're not going to tell you what to do. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
