Upcoming events

We all face challenges. From demands and stress in our everyday lives, to the unexpected that knocks us off our feet. It can help to have some support.

At the same time, life is also about engaging in activities that bring us joy and help us learn something new.

So, where are you in all of this? And how to start?

Attending an event or session in a group setting can be a great way to begin.

Connecting with the animal world

Animals have so much to teach us. Observing their qualities, such as how they look and move, is not only an interesting experience, but connects us at a deeper level.

In this workshop you will have the opportunity to meet and work with one of your animal guides!

Facilitators: Lorinda Brinton and Anke Hoeven

Mindful Movement: series & drop-in
Jan – Aug 2025

The Mindful Movement sessions were a unique combination of gentle stretching and movement combined with basic mindfulness.

Those attending could choose whether to sign up for the entire series or purchase individual drop-in sessions to attend when they were able.

The sessions were offered in a small group format (at the Lymfecentrum Ruelensvest 29) allowing for more individual attention for each participant. When the weather was nice, we started a session outside to enjoy the natural surroundings!

If you would like to experience something similar, try a Breath & Body – Mindful Yoga session.

Birthing our new self – workshop series
23 & 30 April 2025

These facilitated sessions were designed for those finding themselves in a new phase of life and/or looking for inspiring ways to move forward.

Each session provided opportunities to
connect with others through activity, learning and sharing.

The event was offered in collaboration with Enas Kandil and Mohammed El-Barkouky who led the activity portions of the ‘Put yourself first’ and ‘Be creative’ sessions. I led the grounding, reflection and sharing portions of the evenings.

We had a nice time at the Blended Minds book cafe in Kessel-Lo and hope to see you at future similar events.

Loving Kindness Meditation Night
19 February 2025

The idea for this special evening came from a desire to bring some warmth, good will, well being and peace into ourselves and into the world.

We gathered in person at a cosy book cafe in Kessel-Lo (Belgium) and connected with compassion.

The event was offered in partnership with Enas from Blended Minds book cafe. Thanks to Enas and to all those who joined us. You can read more about the collaboration here.

Move Your Lymph workshop
20 October 2024 & 25 May 2025

“It was great participating … I already used your technics during the day. For me it was very helpful and well structured! I feel now more empowered to take care – isn’t that just great!”

– participant from Move Your Lymph workshop

This workshop was for those feeling tired or facing health challenges. The idea? Give participants and their lymphatic system some attention and care.

Through guided teachings we practiced gentle practical exercises that people could later try at home – all to help stimulate the lymphatic system.

The sessions were offered in partnership with Studio Zuid. Thank you to Elisabeth, Pascale, Karen Vanmeiren (who co-facilitated the May 2025 session) and Lieve (volunteer support for October 2024 session).

With enough interest, we hope to offer more sessions in the future.

Move Your Lymph sessions are also available on a private basis. Please feel free to use the button below to contact me about this or for more info on how to register or promote/offer these sessions to a group. Read more about how the Move Your Lymph program was developed here.
