In the free supermarket you can pick up all kind of food or you can also bring some food to the market.
In these hard times lets get together and make sure the most unprotected get the most basic foods and work together to achieve what the powers that be cannot and/or don’t want to.
There is also a free shop for clothes and other items.
Food donations and volunteers are always appreciated!
Accessibility: The supermarket is outside in the garden if the weather is good. There is a small step at the gate to come in. Otherwise it’s inside with some more steps in front of the house.

A women’s circle is a therapeutical space where we all come as we are to witness other women* and be witnessed by them. When I say therapeutical, I do not mean that it can replace psychotherapy! What I do mean is that we all have an innate capacity to heal and a space like that can create a powerful container for our personal healing to happen through experiencing deep and authentic human connection. We will practice deep listening giving each other space for sharing a piece of themselves. It can be a very touching and transformational experience to have a safe space to be vulnerable in front of other people who can receive you without judging or giving advice. Being on the other (receiving) side can be equally powerful and beautiful and can remind us that we all share the same desires and struggles.
As the name suggests, a circle is a non-hierarchical structure, we are all equal here. l will facilitate our meeting by holding the circle, giving it a bit of structure and making sure that everyone is safe and well. It doesn’t make me the leader or a therapist or anyone of that kind. I hope to benefit from this meeting same as everyone else, just with some more responsibility. I will tell you the rules at the beginning of the meeting, so don’t worry if this is your first circle. However the 3 most important rules are:
1. confidentiality – what happens in the circle stays in the circle. We don’t talk about what we’ve heard afterwards.
2. deep listening – no interrupting, no judging, no giving unsolicited advice!! When we talk, we only talk about ourselves and our feelings.
3. taking care of yourself – if you feel triggered at any point, remember that you can reach out for help or withdraw from the circle.
The venue, as well as the circle as a structure has its limits, therefore it’s necessary to sign up to book your spot. If for any reason you can’t attend, please, let me know. Of course, the sooner, the better, but just let me know any time if you can’t join, I won’t ask you for an explanation 🙂 And also, please, sign up only when you really mean to come 🙂
Feel free to bring some light snacks or tea (optional).
* Anyone who identifies as a woman is welcome to join. Non-binary people, gender fluid people are also invited! If you have any doubts about your gender situation, you can contact me, but most probably you are welcome to join as long as you are not a cis man 🙂
Refugees and asylum seekers often find themselves in a liminal space, existing in a gap between the past and the future. In this in-between phase, individuals are neither fully part of their old culture nor fully integrated into a new one. This “liminal phase” is a transitional space commonly described in the context of rites of passage—rituals that mark significant life transitions in many cultures.
In Expressive Arts (EXA) therapy, we invite participants to enter this liminal space through art-making, ritual, and play. This process encourages exploration of the essence of one’s being, an encounter with beauty in the unknown, and the discovery of inner resources and potential. Art provides a means to give shape to fragmented stories, acting as a container for emotions that are difficult to express verbally. It is a way to communicate hope, and the process is resource-oriented, held with care and compassion within a thoughtfully crafted frame.
This (bi-)weekly gathering serves as a temporary home for the displaced and oppressed—a “testimony through art.” The goal is to foster a sense of belonging and connection, preventing withdrawal and helping participants move through physical and mental stagnation. Through creativity and imagination, we aim to cultivate a sense of hope in the midst of uncertainty.

*Expressive arts therapy is a therapeutic approach that places the creative process at the center of the human experience. Rather than focusing on advanced skills, it emphasizes the innate creativity of individuals and the heightened sensitivity that enables them to bring new things into being. This integrative approach uses a variety of creative expressions—such as poetry, music, visual arts, theater, clay, movement, and nature-based methods—to help individuals navigate personal challenges/ inquiries and explore their own resources. No previous art experience is required—just your presence.
