Join us for an open, grounded conversation inspired by Tara Brach’s work on Radical Acceptance — the practice of meeting our thoughts, emotions, and life circumstances with clarity and compassion instead of self-criticism or resistance. You don’t need any background in meditation or psychology to join. We’ll explore accessible ideas such as: * The “trance of unworthiness” — the quiet belief that something is wrong with us * How resistance and self-judgment amplify stress * What acceptance actually means (and why it is not passivity) * The RAIN method: a simple, practical way to work with difficult emotions * How compassion creates real emotional freedom This is a relaxed, supportive space where you choose your level of participation. Sharing is optional; listening is welcome. The focus is on understanding ourselves better, building emotional resilience, and having an honest conversation about being human. Who’s this for? Anyone interested in mindfulness, emotional growth, or easing self-judgment. First-timers welcome. What to bring: Optional journal or notes, comfortable clothing, and an open mind. Tone: Warm, steady, non-judgmental. This is not therapy and not a meditation class — just thoughtful dialogue and practical insights.

Let's spend a nice gezellige evening together in the best place for alternative music in Utrecht -> dB's!

Daisy's Vinyasa Flow Yoga places great emphasis on the perfect combination of one inhalation, one exhalation, and body flow. The postures are completed in one breath cycle, with smooth movements similar to flowing clouds and flowing water. The difficulty level gradually increases, while the movement balances high and low intensity. In class we explore our bodies from the outside to the inside, from one posture to another the energy processes are continuous. Fluid transitions in Vinyasa Flow Yoga allow students to improve energy levels and vitality, makes us balanced and at peace with ourselves. **Duration: 75 minutes Difficulty: Level 2 ( Intermediate)** At the end of yoga practice, Daisy will take you into a Yoga Nidra (ancient relaxation technique also called "the sleep of the yogi") with the sounds of the Tibetan singing bowls. ### Important Information \- If you do sign up for the event\, **please take it seriously**.
