De Troost Tafel - 26 april
Wil jij met mij op een culinaire reis door rouw?
Ik nodig je van harte uit voor de Troost Tafel – Lunch Editie.
Een intieme middag waar we samen aan tafel gaan om de smaken van rouw te verkennen.
Wat is pittig in jouw rouw? Welke herinnering smaakt nog steeds zoet?
In een klein gezelschap van maximaal 8 mensen nodig ik je uit om mee te gaan op mijn culinaire reis door rouw – een reis die ik ooit begon na het verlies van mijn moeder.
Eerder organiseerde ik diners, maar deze keer kies ik bewust voor een lunch. Waarom? Omdat ik weet dat het soms spannend kan zijn om over rouw te praten. Met deze kortere, laagdrempelige editie wil ik juist ruimte creëren voor wie dat spannend vindt, maar toch nieuwsgierig is naar verbinding, troost en smaak.
🕰 Indeling van de middag
12.30 – 13.00 Inloop & ontvangst
13.00 – 13.15 Welkom & introductie
13.15 – 15.00 Aan tafel – 3-gangen lunch
15.00 – 15.15 Afronding
15.15 – 15.30 Tijd om rustig naar huis te gaan.
🌿 Wat is de Troost Tafel?
De Troost Tafel is een plek waar verliezen, herinneringen en smaken samenkomen.
Een culinaire reis door rouw – waarin we onderzoeken hoe emoties en herinneringen zich kunnen vertalen naar smaken. Wat is licht in jouw rouw? Wat voelt zwaar? Wat smaakt bitter of juist zoet?
🌟 Voor wie is de Troost Tafel?
Voor iedereen die verlies heeft ervaren – groot of klein. Of je nu net een dierbare bent verloren, of al jaren een gemis met je meedraagt: alle vormen van verlies mogen er zijn. Bij de Troost Tafel leggen we de rouw op tafel, in plaats van hem eronder te schuiven.
🍽 Wat kun je verwachten?
Een driegangenlunch, met ruimte voor stilte, gesprek en verbinding.
Je zit aan tafel met een kleine groep mensen, ieder met hun eigen verhaal.
Bij elke gang staan we stil bij een ander aspect van rouw en smaak – zodat we samen verdieping kunnen vinden in wat ons raakt en verbindt.
💛 Waarom ik de Troost Tafel organiseer?
In het laatste jaar van mijn koksopleiding verloor ik mijn moeder aan longkanker. Het was mijn eerste diepe ervaring met rouw, en het bracht me op een intense spirituele reis. In die zoektocht vond ik uiteindelijk rust en acceptatie. Helaas verloor ik recent ook mijn stiefmoeder. Na een zeer kort ziekbed werd ik opnieuw geconfronteerd met het verlies.
De Troost Tafel is ontstaan uit mijn verlangen om anderen ook een plek te bieden – een veilige, warme tafel waar verlies ruimte mag krijgen, en waar troost mag ontstaan.
Schuif je aan? Als je vragen hebt mag je me ook altijd een bericht sturen.

☕️ Chat & Craft 🧶
**We have limited space at the café, so if you've RSVPd and can't make it, please cancel as early as possible so another person can join!**
Join in for a morning of crafting & chatting over a drink. Just bring your own project and payment for drinks.
Meet fellow crafting enthusiasts, whether it's knitting, crocheting, stitching, origami, or something more unique!
We talk about our projects, exchange tipps, but also just get to know each other and enjoy a relaxed Sunday morning in good company.
We now also have a WhatsApp group, where we want to organise get-togethers and other events. Ask one of the organisers at the next Meetup you join for more information and access.
Marbling Workshop — Utrecht
## **🌊 Marbling Workshop — Utrecht \(\[Booking via link\]\(se book via the link: https://artools\.nl/product/marbling\-workshop/\)\)**
## **Colour, water, and chance.**
## In this 2h hands-on marbling workshop, pigments float on water and are transferred onto paper — creating patterns that can’t be fully controlled or repeated.
It’s a slow, tactile and slightly hypnotic process, where “happy accidents” are part of the experience.
**What to expect:**
– work directly with colour on water
– explore movement and flow
– create multiple one-of-a-kind prints – guided but open-ended session
You don’t aim for one perfect piece — you create many, each shaped by timing and chance.
Details:
🕒 Utrecht 2h
**📍 Utrecht**

The Socrates Café — Sunday Morning at Motion Coffee
Philosophical discussions about fundamental human questions.
It’s not a lecture! It’s participants like you who make the discussion a success, organizers just facilitate it.
We bring our most puzzling questions - along with creativity, curiosity and genuine interest to enrich ourselves with perspectives of others. This usually makes Socrates Café event a truly inspiring one for people with very different backgrounds. We discuss, we inquire, we think aloud - respect is the main rule.
Here is a list of questions we have previously discussed:
[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/133sfywQ81G2jcQ4acXESK2-BCosHipvMNQ7w1pj1WL8/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/133sfywQ81G2jcQ4acXESK2-BCosHipvMNQ7w1pj1WL8/edit?usp=sharing)
Some practical stuff:
1. Please try to arrive on time so that you can participate in the whole discussion. For those on the waitlist, an overflow group is possible at a nearby cafe. Please let us know if you're on the waitlist when you arrive so that we can make the arrangements.
2. The cafe has reserved 16 seats for us because we have a good relationship with the owner. We would appreciate it if you help us maintain that and treat the space with the same respect you would when you use other cafes.
3. Please note that the purpose of Socrates Cafe is first and foremost for collaborative philosophical discussion. It is not meant to be used as a pulpit, a dating app, or a self-help group. Participants who consistently push their own agendas to the detriment of the discussion and of other participants' comfort will be asked to take a break from the group.
4. It is sometimes necessary to challenge others' ideas in the process - you are welcome to challenge ideas as long as it does not turn into something personal with the person who presented the idea.
You can read more background about Socrates Café in the Meetup group description, and if you have any questions - feel free to ask.

Our workshops cover the same content as the online course, but they are more detailed and allow the chance to ask questions and have discussions with the presenters and other residents. We occassionally have "advanced topics" classes where you dive deeper into one topic of Community Backyards such as invasive vs. native plants or rain gardens.**

If you don't register in advance, that's okay - you can still show up (unless otherwise noted - which is very rare) and sign up for a voucher at the class, and we will send you one via email or mail within a few business days after the workshop.
**"Do I have to be a resident of that community to attend that workshop?"** Nope! Our workshops are open to everyone (unless otherwise noted - which is extremely rare). You can attend a workshop that best suits your schedule even if it is in a different community than your own.
**"Why is registration closed?** Can I just show up?" Yes, you can show up without registering! We close registration typically 1-2 days before the workshop to give the vouchers and materials to the presenters. However, you are always welcome to just show up and fill out a short form to request a voucher at the workshop. If eligible, we will send one to you within 1-2 business days after the workshop.

How to be a Better Communicator
Communication is everything in life
You are only as successful as your ability to communicate.
\- What if you could confidently talk to anyone?
\- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation?
\- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence?
You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
