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

About the Trainer
Wayne Gregoire, Buddhist monk has been a fulltime resident for 8 years at Zen River Temple and is a student of the abbot Tenkei Roshi. Raised on a cattle ranch in Montana and then starting a career as Software Engineer in the games industry, there was little in his environment to suggest that one day his favorite time would be sitting in a meditation hall. Zen River Temple is an international meditation centre in the North of the Netherlands, and Spectrum organizes twice a year an outing to visit and practice with this Buddhist community.

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.
