Wellbeing Weeks

Let's get together


20 women got together to create this program full of online workshops and meetings to help you to deal with the difficulties of the COVID-19 crisis, to share some positivism and to stay connected.

Fashion, style and sustainability
Saturday, April 18th 18:00-19:00

A creative mind that loves fashion and our planet earth. 
How to combine both if the fashion industry is one of the most damaging industry to the environment?

With this workshop, I want to share my thoughts about style, fashion, trends and sustainability. And also how I find a way for myself to be part of the fashion revolution that is happening already.

What is thrifting? Is buying second hand safe? These are questions that I want to answer according to my experience and research.  Join Carla for a fun fashionable talk where I share in the end some easy outfits with style! 

Carla Xavier loves thrifting and fashion. She believes in sustainable fashion, she does her share by not buying from the main stream stores, She transforms used clothes into cool unique pieces. Her Instagram feed is so interesting. 
Evening Face Ritual
Monday, April 20th - 20:00 -21:00

Isolation and quarantine have keep us indoors, and it can be tempting to get a little lazy with your skin care routine. But there are also factors that can affect our skin during these times, like stress, artificial light, home cleaning and less oxygenation. 

It's important then to take care of our skin. Cleaning the face in the evening is everyone's ritual. During this session Lisa will talk about the evening face ritual, cosmetic products, why use or not use some of those, how to use them and She will also teach us a relaxing face massage.

Lisa Ballarin is an Italian beautician. She moved to The Netherlands 5 years ago and start her beauty salon 3 years ago.  She likes to use natural ingredients for the beauty treatments at her salon.  She has two bunnies and a dog.
Healthy Dinner with Gabi.
Tuesday, April 21st  16:30-18:00

Let's cook a healthy dinner together.  We will also have time to chat  about well-being, what is healthy eating, and what can we do to eat healthy in this period to enhance our immune system, have energy and feel good.

During this workshop  we are going to prepare 3 dishes: 
* Sweet potato moussaka 
* A side salad, and a
* Healthy snack

If you want to cook at the same time, here are the ingredients Gabi will use. 

Gabi's beliefs that food can be healthy but also memorable, motivated her to start Food experiences by Gabi. 
She is also very enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge, so keep your eyes open for her workshops on vegetarian & vegan cooking!    
My name Nilufar Bulut, I have been living in Eindhoven for over ten years now. Having made a rather long academic journey, in the course of the last several years I have worked in several roles and have come to understood many interesting things about myself, what I really want and where my strengths lie. Apart from the positives and learning, this professional ‘soul-searching’ for me also (inevitably) entailed a lot of uncertainty, needing to get out of my comfort zone, as well as the necessity to adapt and to grow.  
In the midst of all the professional pursuits, attempts to find that wonderful place for myself which really gets me, allows me to grow and to be truly fulfilled in my career ambitions, I felt compelled to attend not only to making things happen on the outside (pumping up my CV, networking and applying to more jobs), but also to the inner perception of myself while I am doing all of this. Very soon I came to very important insights and inner realization that any significant shifts and changes in my life can only be accomplished through significant shifts and changes in my own mind.
Goals &  Desires: Clarity &  Power to Act
Tuesday, April 21st  20:00 - 21:20

* Do you know what you want from your life in 5 weeks, 5 months, 5 years, 15 or 25 years from now?
* If I ask you to list all your desires, will you be able to fill three A4 format pages in less than 30 minutes?
* Beyond WHAT you want, are you aware of what needs and desires lie at the root of your goals and dreams? Do you know WHY you want what you want?
* Would you like to have the ULTIMATE SUCCESS modeling tool, which will take you to the next level?

Throughout my life-long research on the topic of self empowerment and personal development, I have come to realization that knowing our goals and desires is the very first crucial step in getting there! In this session, I will give you practical insights and tools that will enable you to uncover your
REAL goals and dreams.

Very often, we concentrate so much on WHAT we want to have and achieve, while we fail to stop, and to question WHY is it so important for us. Or what does it mean for us to succeed or to fail with regard to our specific goals (which is crucial for our true fulfillment).  

Beyond merely attaining clarity on your desires, you will be empowered by a deeper understanding of the main ingredients in your consciousness that will enable you to ACT and FULFILL your goals.

In this session I invite you to look within and get back on track with a deeper awareness of yourself,  your true innermost desires, and renewed confidence to ACT!

This is a great activity to do at home, we can make our house greener and that always lift the spirits. This workshop is perfect for the whole family. 

So, Let’s talk about green trends. “Green in glass”, is one Sandra's favorites.  The transparent glass brings out the structure of the leaves and roots even better. The nice thing is that you can go in all directions with glass and therefore, it can be endlessly combined with beautiful houseplants.  It doesn’t matter if you don’t have green fingers.

Sandra will teach us to make a beautiful green in glass piece with  simple materials:

  • A houseplant. Plants with additional decorative roots are the       Chlorophytum, Juncus and Asparagus. 
  • A clean transparent vase of jar, depending of the size of your        plant. 
  • Marbles, gravel, or decorative stones.
  • Food Coloring  (optional)
  • Water
