Being Human Workshop: Vulnerability

Over dit evenement

A gentle workshop to meet yourself and others with honesty, care, and soft courage.

Being human is never just one thing — it’s a palette. It is full of layers, contradictions, and surprises. We laugh, we stumble, we long, we connect. Some moments ask us to be bold, others invite us to soften, to wonder, or to find our place among others.

In this workshop we connect to the theme of Vulnerability.
Vulnerability is the courage to show up as we are. It is about allowing ourselves to be soft, present, and real.
Too often, vulnerability is mistaken for weakness — but in truth, it is a doorway to deeper contact with ourselves and others.
In this workshop, we’ll explore the power of honesty and openness in human connection. Through guided exercises of sharing and listening, we’ll practice creating a space where it feels safe to let our guard down, speak from the heart, and truly be seen. Expect a gentle, supportive atmosphere and the warmth that comes from realising we’re not alone in our humanness.

🔹ABOUT THE SERIES🔹
Our 4-workshop series offers four evenings to taste these different “flavours” of being human — through interactive practices, shared reflections, and warm circles of connection. You can attend one, some, or all workshops based on your interests.
While attending multiple workshops will allow you to broaden and deepen your experience, each session stands alone, offering you a valuable, holistic experience.
