Event

Talking Circle: Reconnection & Inner Sustainability

Organised by Stichting Otherwise Wageningen
Date

Thu 10 December 2020 19:00 to 20:30

Join us on a quest for reconnection! 2020 has been a year in which many of us have felt isolated and/or detached, and perhaps equally overwhelmed by the state of the world. It has also given many of us a newfound appreciation for our environment and our shared communities.

Could you use a moment to get back in touch with yourself and with all that surrounds you?

For a first practice in a series on inner sustainability we're organizing a short talking circle, with as its main theme gratitude for our connections and for the natural world that surrounds us.

A talking circle is a means of communication that stimulates input of all members of a group. It is a practice based on the council circles that are a distinctive feature of several tribal communities.

We will take a moment to contemplate what makes us feel connected to the natural world and our greater community. We exchange thoughts guided by several questions about (nature) connection that are put into the circle. There are no expectations but to simply hear each other.

Do you need a moment of reflection and gratitude in your busy studyweek or workweek? Join us! This circle is open to anyone and completely free of charge.

Structure

In order to stimulate an engaged talking circle and to leave our distractions and stress behind for a moment, Teresa will inspire us and kick off the evening with a short breathing/grounding exercise. She dedicates a lot of her energy toward yoga and holistic health.

We are excited to hear her perspective on inner sustainability! Check out Teresa's work here.

After taking a moment to land, we will open the circle. Evelien will facilitate the session and introduce several simple questions. Afterwards, there will be room for thoughts and questions.

We expect the event to take around 1.5 hours, with room for some extra time.
