Women's Circle

🌸 **Free online gathering** **Next circle: March 15** After this, we will continue meeting on the **first Sunday of each month**. A space to begin the month by returning to yourself. This women’s circle is an invitation to give yourself one hour to pause, slow down, and reconnect with your body, your inner voice, and other women. A simple and caring commitment: beginning the month with meditation and journaling in community. You can think of it as a small personal ritual, creating the habit of listening to yourself, writing, and setting intentions for the month ahead. We meet online on Sunday afternoons to gently transition into a new week and a new month, creating a moment of presence, reflection, and intention. During this 1-hour session we will explore: ✨ a guided meditation to arrive in the body ✨ a journaling practice to connect with what is alive in you ✨ a space for sharing, where you are welcome to speak or simply listen No previous experience is needed. You are welcome just as you are. Please have a notebook and a pen nearby, and join from a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted during the session. You are welcome to join once, or come back each month. The choice is yours. The first circles are offered for free in order to create community and open this space to more women. Participants who register for the event will receive the **Google Meet link** before the circle begins. It will be lovely to welcome you into this space 🌿

**Sunday, March 15th – 13:00** **Meeting point:** Bus stop *Donderberg*, Leersum For the third edition of **Real Estate**, our series dedicated to exploring some of the most fascinating villas, estates and historic residences in the Netherlands, we head to the green heart of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug to discover **Kasteel Broekhuizen**. Hidden among forests and rolling landscapes near Leersum, Broekhuizen is a country estate with **medieval roots and a turbulent history**. Over the centuries, it has known periods of prosperity, destruction and reconstruction — and today it stands as a quiet witness to how history, landscape and architecture continuously reshape each other. During our walk, we’ll explore the **estate and its surrounding park**, uncovering stories about: * the rise and fall of the estate * its phases of destruction and rebuilding * hidden corners and forgotten traces in the landscape * and the role of the **Van Nellesteyn family** in shaping its history This is not just a visit to a beautiful country house, but a journey through **layers of time**, where nature and history are deeply intertwined. ### Practical information * **Walk length:** approx. 3.4 km * The route goes through parkland and forest paths, so comfortable shoes are recommended. ### After the walk We’ll finish at **Bistro LOF**, the café/restaurant located within the castle estate itself, where we can enjoy a drink together — and for those who wish, also stay for something to eat — in a setting that perfectly complements the atmosphere of the place. A hidden estate. A story of loss and renewal. A walk through history in the landscape.

Event planned for Sunday near the Diemen Station.

🌸 **Encuentro gratuito** Próximo círculo: **15 de marzo** Luego continuamos el **primer domingo de cada mes**. Un espacio para comenzar cada mes volviendo a ti. Este círculo es una invitación a regalarte una hora para pausar, bajar el ritmo y reconectar con tu cuerpo, tu voz interior y otras mujeres. Un compromiso simple y amoroso: comenzar cada mes con meditación y journaling en comunidad. Podés pensarlo como un pequeño ritual personal, creando el hábito de escucharte, escribir y poner intención al mes que comienza. Nos reunimos online los domingos por la tarde para suavizar la transición hacia una nueva semana y un nuevo mes, creando un momento de presencia, reflexión e intención. Podés participar una vez o volver cada mes. Lo decidís vos. Durante esta sesión de 1 hora, recorreremos: ✨ Una meditación guiada para aterrizar en el cuerpo ✨ Una práctica de escritura (journaling) para conectar con lo que está vivo en ti ✨ Un espacio de compartir, donde sos bienvenida a hablar o simplemente escuchar No es necesaria experiencia previa. Sos bienvenida tal y como estás. Por favor tené a mano un cuaderno y una lapicera, y conectate desde un lugar tranquilo donde no seas interrumpida durante la hora. Los primeros círculos se ofrecen de forma gratuita para crear comunidad y abrir este espacio a más mujeres. Las personas que se registren en Meetup recibirán el enlace de acceso al encuentro antes de comenzar. Será muy lindo darte la bienvenida a este espacio 🌿
