Women’s Group

The English-speaking Women’s Group meets from 19:00 till 20:30. You can come a bit earlier to peruse our library, make a tea or just sit down and rest. The main focus of the group is to create a protected space to be vulnerable, talk about and experience tough topics, receive support, and yes to share a laugh.

We typically start with a mindfulness exercise, a brief check in, do an exercise around a theme and allow for a moment of individual reflection, as well as, dyad or group sharing.

The topic for this month is transitions, changes, moves and letting go. It is a closed group as we say good bye to one of our long term members. How do you say goodbye? How do you transitions – fast? “the quicker the better,” slow and easy? “I’m leaving in my own time,” with ritual? “the more symbolism the better,” on distant mode? “the less I think or feel the better?” .. or another way?

Transitions are important part of our lives especially as expats, foreigners, immigrants… whatever label we give it. How we navigate letting go can help us with moving towards our new beginnings.

when she started letting go, her vision-
became clearer. the present felt more
manageable and the future began to
look open and and full of bright possibilities
as she shed the tense energy of the
past her power and creativity returned.
with a revitalized excitement, she
focused on building a new life in which
joy and freedom were abundant.
