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.

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.

Wiebke is a certified Yin Yoga teacher that we had the pleasure to meet a few days ago. After a trial with her, we were fully relaxed in our bodies and mind to the point that someone even said we would need 100 times of yin yoga a month!
Yin Yoga is a gentle yoga practice that focuses on passive and long-held stretches. Through these slow and mindful movements we try to connect deeply to our breath and body, thereby finding a balance between effort and ease.

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.
