To truly see each other with trust, layers removed, requires a process of excavation.... 🕳🕳🕳🕳

A process that asks us to share our experience with friends, with an audience willing and able to genuinely stop and listen, not to respond, but to understand. To get open and let the magical process of transformation and healing be realized.

This is not a solitary act.
It is one of sharing, thinking together, learning how to overcome fear and know one another at the deepest level. It is about sharing stories that matter, so that we become what David Brooks calls illuminators: generative people who listen, lift others, and through this process become better versions of themselves.🌸🌸🌸

This is what we do at SheSustains - We share life stories.
Because the ability to craft a coherent life story is a vital skill for leading a meaningful life. You cannot know who you are unless you know how to tell your story. You cannot have a stable identity unless you take the scattered events of your life and give them meaning by turning them into a coherent story.

🌸 Meet Amara – Our Second Storyteller🌸
Amara is a Nigerian, an engineer, wife, and mother of four. She moved to the Netherlands in 2010, earned her Master's and Professional Doctorate in Chemical Engineering, and navigated a career change, all while building a full-time career and raising four children with her husband.
Her journey is one of resilience. Choosing herself again and again in a noisy world. Finding peace not by avoiding struggle, but by showing up, day after day, with courage and grace.
She will share her story of hope, perseverance, and the quiet strength that comes from choosing peace in the midst of life's demands.

Join us to hear Amara's story and to find your own.

According to David Brooks, we are facing a breakdown in the social fabric. Widening inequality. Declining community life. A loss of the very things needed for true human flourishing...

But here is the truth: the quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life 🌼

What we need are open spaces for honest conversations. Authentic connections. Opportunities to tell and listen to each other's stories- the good, the bad, the ugly, so that we can reveal their beauty, truth, and goodness.
Because social connection is the number one source of happiness, success, good health, and much of the sweetness of life.🏵

So at SheSustains, we simply ask people to tell their stories.....

🌸 Meet Maria Teresa – Our First Storyteller
Maria Teresa is a secondary school teacher and language specialist with a profound passion for forming young adults through great books education. Born in the Netherlands with Italian roots, she brings a rich cultural heritage to her work.
Her teaching is not just about language and literature, it is about helping her students discover what it means to live a good and flourishing life. She is married and a mother, and she lives out her belief that the home is the first school of love. Her journey is rooted in faith, family, and a commitment to nurturing the next generation, pillars that lie at the heart of our Wellbeing Weekend.
Join us to hear her story of hope, resilience, and the quiet beauty of ordinary life.

Find Your Footing in Life's Transitions...

Life no longer follows a straight line. We change jobs, relationships, and identities more often than ever, facing what Bruce Feiler calls a "life quake", a period of upheaval that can leave us searching for a new story.
But within every transition lies the opportunity for renewal. That is the heart of the SheSustains Wellbeing Weekend, hosted annually by Stichting Soka

Imagine a swing. A gentle rhythm. A moment of suspension between earth and sky. A place where you can pause, breathe, and see the horizon more clearly. That is what this weekend offers you: a sacred pause to retreat, relax, reflect, and recharge.

What awaits you:
✨ A safe space to step away from the noise
✨ Inspiring stories of resilience and hope
✨ Creative workshops like "Herbal Reset"
✨ Guided nature walks and quiet reflection
✨ Practical tools for faith, friendship, family & work

📅 25–27 September 2026 |
📍 Zonnewende, Moergestel

You don't find happiness by chance. You build it—intentionally, and together.

Seats are limited. Reserve your place today.
