Life can be complicated, confusing, and sometimes overwhelming. This is a friendly, informal support group where people can share their thoughts, challenges, and experiences in a safe and welcoming environment.

You don't need to have a diagnosis or be going through a crisis. Sometimes we simply need a space to talk, listen, and connect with others who understand what it means to be human.

What to Expect

• Open and respectful conversations
• A judgment-free atmosphere
• Active listening and mutual support
• Meaningful human connection
• Confidentiality and respect for personal boundaries

Who Is This For?

Anyone who would like to:

• Talk about what's on their mind
• Feel heard and understood
• Meet supportive people
• Reflect on life's challenges together

Important

This is a peer support group, not professional therapy or medical treatment. Participants support each other through conversation, empathy, and shared experiences.

Let's untangle our thoughts, emotions, and life challenges together.

What is it?
It’s a creative writing project rooted in satire and dark humor. The idea is to make fun of traditional newspapers, which are often packed with awful news that weighs on our mental health and general well-being. Instead, we exaggerate reality, twist it, and create absurd or impossible scenarios—purely for the sake of laughing at the madness around us.

Make new friends through a guided museum experience ✨️

Time: 14:00 – 16:30

Location: Kunsthal Rotterdam

Price: €35 per person

The price includes: - Museum entrance ticket to Kunsthal Rotterdam. - A 2.5-hour guided interactive experience. - Four carefully designed art-based exercises. - Facilitation throughout the event by Celia, specialized in Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology with a focus on the role of art in health. - Event planning and organization.

Maximum number of participants: 10 people. About the experience What if looking at art could become a way to better understand yourself and connect with others? Join us for an interactive museum experience that explores the relationship between art, health, and human connection. Through guided activities, participants will slow down, observe with curiosity, and engage with artworks in new and meaningful ways.

The experience includes 4 exercises.

1. Show Me What You See Working in pairs, one participant describes an artwork while the other listens without seeing it, creating a mental image through words alone. Once the artwork is revealed, participants reflect on how memories, emotions, and assumptions shape the way we interpret what we hear and see.

2. Explore Each Other's Perspective Participants carefully observe an artwork, identifying colours, textures, shapes, and other visual details before interpreting its meaning. This exercise encourages mindful observation, curiosity, and appreciation for different perspectives.

3. Stepping Into a New World Participants imagine stepping into the world of a character from an artwork through guided questions about thoughts, emotions, and sensory experiences. The exercise fosters empathy, imagination, and emotional awareness.

4. Reflection & Creative Response The experience concludes with a moment of reflection, where participants can write about or discuss an artwork that resonated with them and share insights from the afternoon.

After the experience After the workshop, anyone who would like to continue the conversation is welcome to join us for drinks at Bokaal. This is a great opportunity to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere.

Please note: drinks and any food ordered at Bokaal are not included in the event price and will be paid individually by each participant.

No artistic knowledge or experience is required—just curiosity and an open mind. Come as you are, meet new people, and experience art as a space for reflection, connection, and wellbeing.
