Church & Coffee

Are you curious about discovering more about the Christian faith? Join us for our monthly Church & Coffee, where we explore a different local church. We’ll visit a nearby church on the first Sunday of each month, to experience its unique atmosphere and message. After the service, we'll gather for a cozy coffee or tea session to reflect on what we've experienced, share our thoughts, and connect on a deeper level. It's a perfect way to enrich your Sunday with inspiration and community. Everyone is welcome, whether you're familiar with church traditions or exploring something new!

Discover some of the churches of Wageningen with a group of students and enjoy time together, celebrating and talking together afterward. 
We will visit the Vineyard Gemeente Wageningen https://vineyardwageningen.site/

Connect and share

We warmly invite you to join us for this refreshing experience where we meet a small group of students once a month and connect on a deeper level.

Join Ruur Boersma (former dean) and Dorothée Berensen (student chaplain) in the Spectrum office for a meaningful evening of conversation. We’ve brought in the 360 Degrees Stories game, a fun and engaging way to share life stories and reflect together. We believe in creating a safe space for connecting and sharing, and we’d love for you to be part of it!

This gathering is an opportunity for personal growth, meaningful connections, and mutual learning. If you’d like to join us, we’ll meet every 4th Tuesday of the month from 19:00 to 21:00

Balancing Grief & Study

This workshop offers insights into the experience of grief, exploring common symptoms and finding ways to create space for it. Practical strategies for talking about grief with others and debunking some common myths will provide clarity and support, also for those who stand next to someone grieving.  When you are grieving, you'll learn to better navigate grief, create space for it, and address the question, "Am I grieving well?" 
For whom: The workshop is targeted to students who are grieving, students that stand next to someone grieving, and representatives of study/ student associations. With this we aim to create a more informed and open space for grief at WUR. This workshop is a collaboration between Student Training & Support and Spectrum.

Co-regulation sessions

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or alone in your studies? You don’t have to face it alone! We warmly invite you to an enriching evening designed to help you connect with fellow students, share experiences, and discover the power of connection. These sessions, guided by Dan Tuffy, focus on co-regulation—an essential aspect of well-being grounded in Attachment Theory.

Why Co-Regulation?
Co-regulation is about openly sharing your fears, longings, joys, and frustrations, and finding understanding and support through shared experiences. Without these connections, it's easy to feel lost and alone, especially when stressed by studies or life challenges.  While the natural tendency might be to face these feelings in isolation, the Co-Regulation sessions offer a powerful alternative. We provide a safe and welcoming space where you can share your experiences, support one another, and build meaningful connections. Through dynamic group discussions, reflective activities, and peer support exercises, these sessions empower you to navigate challenges together and expand your social circle.

Lost a Parent Support

[This activity is atm in Dutch, but if you are an international student and would like to join, please be welcome and contact Marloes]

Georganiseerd door en voor studenten die een ouder hebben verloren. Een keer in de maand komt een groepje studenten bij elkaar die recentelijk, of langer geleden een ouder hebben verloren. Om ervaringen te delen en herkenning te vinden. Om samen een weg te vinden hoe je ruimte maakt voor rouw in je drukke dagelijkse leven, hoe je er met anderen over praat of hoe je weer ontspanning en een stabiel fundament vindt in jezelf.
