About This Event
Dear Friends, We hope each of you is doing well as the winds of Autumn weave through the world! Here in this part of the world, as the days begin to shorten, it brings especial joy to be able to extend this invitation to another luminous 'Falling Through Our Stories' Circle with Jolanda van den Berg.
Tuesday, November 11th 8:30AM Pacific Time, 5:30PM CET, 11:30 AM Cusco Time :)
About this Circle:
This ninety-minute circle will begin with some brief context setting, following which a pre-selected participant will be invited to hold a 1:1 dialog with Jolanda around a specific challenge or personal quest that is alive for them. Other attendees will have the opportunity to hold space as witnesses to their exchange. There will be time for shared reflections before the closing. [Please note, due to the deeply personal nature of these circles, we will not be sharing or posting a recording online afterwards.]
About Jolanda:
Jolanda van den Berg is a mother, entrepreneur, community-weaver, life-artist and friend to the world, who lives in life's creative flow and inspires others to do the same. Over the last 25 years, the organization she founded, Ninos Unidos Peruanos Foundation—has transformed the lives of thousands of street children in Peru. Its work is supported by a series of boutique hotels that Jolanda runs in Cusco, staffed by community members and former students from the foundation.
A few years ago, a traumatic experience catalyzed a profound experience for Jolanda. It left her with a felt-sense of the illusion of a separate self, and drove home the reality that, "We are each other." Since then, while continuing to be engaged in her foundation and hotels, Jolanda has sat in hundreds of deep listening sessions with people, 1:1. During these sessions she tunes into their stories, and intuitively mirrors back to them places of stuckness, in ways that can facilitate access to greater possibility and freedom.
Jolanda is quick to share that she is not a teacher, therapist or guide. All her sessions are peer-to-peer. Says Jolanda, "The most beautiful thing we can be for each other is just be open and loving. That is the most beautiful thing you can do."
If you'd like to join the circle simply RSVP here, and you'll receive login details. If you know of others whom you think might benefit, you are welcome to extend this invitation to them as well.
Wishing you well in all ways,
Pavi, Fiona and Zita on behalf of the Well of Being
