Falling Through Our Stories: A Circle with Jolanda van den Berg
Join us for an intimate and interactive circle with Jolanda van den Berg!

About Jolanda:
Jolanda van den Berg is a mother, artist, entrepreneur, community-weaver, 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.

About this Circle:
This circle will begin with a very brief moderated conversation. Following this, a couple of participants will be invited into 1:1 dialog with Jolanda. Other attendees will have the opportunity to hold space as witnesses to this deep exchange. There will also be time for shared reflections before the closing. Jolanda is quick to clarify 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 please RSVP here and you will be sent the login details as we get closer to the event.
