Curious Minds Nijmegen

Hello everyone!

I’d like to invite you to the first meeting of our community. It will be a networking and open conversation for people who are interested in self-development, mindfulness, and self-exploration.

To be honest, for me this meeting is not so much about “self-development” in the traditional sense, but more about curiosity about life and people. About how each of us thinks, feels, and perceives the world, and how the same situation can be experienced in completely different ways. About how, as such different individuals, we can still feel similar things and share the same world.

I’ve always been interested not just in hearing someone’s opinion, but in understanding what is behind it. What experiences led a person to these conclusions? Why is this important for them? What feels different for this person and why? And how does it resonate with me?

I believe that through conversations like these, we start to see the world more broadly. Not because someone has the “right answer”, but because every new perspective gives us a chance to look at familiar things in a slightly different way. That is why I want to create a space where we can explore together - where we can ask questions, reflect, expand our thoughts, notice something new in others, and at the same time discover something new in ourselves.

How the meetup will work:
The format will be very simple.
To make it easier to start conversations, I will prepare three open questions related to the theme of self-development. Each meetup will have different questions, so every time the conversations will naturally unfold in a new way.

For example:
“What has recently impressed you or made you think more deeply? (a book, a film, an event, the news?) Why?”

Everyone can answer as much or as little as they feel like. We will talk in small groups (depending on the number of people) and rotate during the meetup so you can meet different participants. It is a very open format. Whether you answer the questions or move on to other topics is completely up to you. The questions are simply a gentle way to start a conversation.

And you don't have to prepare or do anything in advance, because you already have everything that you need! Your life experience, your vision, your interests. That's enough.

You can come and just share your interests! :)
It can be everything: from your hobby to some YouTube video that inspired you (on any topic).

The meetup will take place in a cozy atmosphere over a cup of coffee. The planned duration is around two hours, although we will see how the conversation flows.
The conversation will be entirely in English.

Feel free to join - I would be very happy to meet you! :)
