Meaningful Connections Eindhoven

What if you could say NO! once in a while and feel good about it?

Most of us were never taught how to express our boundaries or even feel them, to start with. We say yes when we mean maybe. We stay silent when something feels off. We disconnect, override, or freeze then wonder why we feel drained or resentful.

This evening is designed to be a playground where you can experience connecting with your "yes" and your "no". You will access the inner wisdom which will empower you to set boundaries in an empathic but effective way.

"But what if I don't trust myself to do that?" you might say. There is someone who can be your best ally and guide: your body.

WHAT WE WILL DO
1. We'll start with a guided meditation, then we'll talk about practicalities and agreements. Next, you will veeery slowly begin to connect with others in a safe and relaxing way.

2. The second part of the evening is about doing exercises where you will explore the connection between your body, your desires and your boundaries. Through guided pair and small group practices you’ll build awareness and get a felt sense of what it means to stand in your truth without guilt or explanation. All activities are guided and optional, with space to move at your own pace.

3. In the final phase we will transition into a Sharing Circle(inspired by HeartIQ) where the space is open for anything that needs to be named, expressed or integrated.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- What boundaries actually are.
- How to feel your internal yes, no, maybe.
- How to express boundaries clearly, kindly and firmly.
= How to recognize and respect others’ boundaries too.

You don’t need to know anything about this work to join. Just bring your curiosity.
