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.

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.

Retreat & Recharge evenings

Are you longing for some inner silence and reflection? At the monthly Retreat & Recharge Evenings we slowly digest an inspirational quote. Without hurries, we read, meditate and share. A nurturing way to retreat from our busy lives and recharge. The evening will involve a meditation on the quote, using a four-step technique called Lectio Divina. Don't forget to wear some easy pants, that make you sit comfortably on a meditation pillow or chair.  
About the facilitators
Jeannette den Ouden is theologist and pastor of the Arboretum Church and student chaplain for Spectrum. She has worked over 15 years with Lectio Divina and uses it for her daily inspiration. Marloes Harkema works for Spectrum as coordinator for Buddhist activities and life coach for the WUR. For the last years we have used quotes from Thich Nhat Hanh, Desmond Tutu, Rumi, Julian of Norwich, Pema Chodron, Etty Hillesum and Tara Brach.
