About this Event
HOME or What is Belonging?
Creative Writing & Yoga Workshop in Amsterdam
Have you ever wondered: “What does home mean to me?”
If this question resonates with you, then perhaps this is the right moment to pause. In that spirit, we invite you to a Creative Exploration Workshop through Words, Yoga (and Flowers) about belonging and finding your inner home.
After a beautiful first edition of 2026 exploring belonging, we’re back for round two in April. This time, more intentionally, we bring movement into the exploration.
More specifically, and step by step, through reflective writing and other exercises with @noacasarta and gentle yoga with @yoga_yatraa, we’ll explore belonging not only as something we experience with others, but also, more deeply, as something we cultivate within ourselves.
As a natural result, movement, stillness, and guided prompts will create space to pause, reflect, and reconnect.
This workshop is for you if…
• you enjoy writing, reflection, or creative expression
• you sometimes feel disconnected even when surrounded by people
• you are curious about slowing down and sharing meaningful conversations
• you want to meet others in a calm, thoughtful space
Overall, and at its core, this workshop is an invitation to introspection, expression, and connection through various forms of art. At the same time, it is a safe and open space for those who want to explore meaningful themes using words, colors, movement and crafts.
💫 What awaits you
• a creative workshop dedicated to introspection
• reflective prompts that open new paths
• gentle yoga and mindful movement
• a safe and supportive space to connect with yourself and others
🎯 Who is it for?
Open-minded people who are curious to explore essential themes through creative means: whether it's writing, painting, collage, movement, or simple crafts. Whether you come alone or together with someone, you are welcome.
Importantly, and reassuringly, previous experience in yoga, writing, or art is not needed. Instead, simply bring your curiosity and an open mind.
✨ What happens during the workshop?
During the workshop, and throughout the experience, we will work with:
- Words – creative writing exercises and personal expression
- Colors – drawing and visual techniques to express emotions
- Crafts – manual activities that help anchor us in the present moment and support introspection. This can include flowers or other natural elements.
- Movement – a gentle yoga practice that invites us to slow down, connect with the body, and deepen our sense of inner belonging
