BRIDGING THE GAP Between Head & Heart

Dinner & film: The Wisdom of Happiness.
Part of the Week of Mental Wellbeing.
We live in a time where overthinking is the default. Planning, analysing, optimising — the head keeps spinning, while the heart barely gets a word in. And yet, somewhere we know: the answers to what's weighing on us aren't found in another spreadsheet.
On June 3rd, we come together to watch The Wisdom of Happiness, the new documentary in which the Dalai Lama speaks about compassion, inner peace, and how to stay grounded in a chaotic world.
Afterwards, we open the floor. What does it mean, here in the Netherlands, in 2026, to let head and heart work together again? Not as opposites, but as allies. With a panel of organisations who navigate this terrain every day — and with you.
