Gatherings

The first gatherings

Two first gatherings at Hangout070, in the heart of The Hague. Small beginnings, on purpose. Dates coming soon.

Gathering one, autumn 2026

An evening to arrive, exhale, meet each other, and dream together about what this community could become.

  • Opening ritual and welcomeGrounding together and honouring the ancestors and traditions we carry into the room
  • Introduction to healing justiceWhere the framework comes from, and why healing is collective
  • Listening circle: Mycelium of careMapping the care that already flows between us, sharing what we are facing, and choosing together what this community takes on first
  • Dialogue circle: Queer POC strategyOpened by Naomie and further voices to be announced, with everyone in the room taking part
  • Collective potluckBring a dish if you can, come hungry if you can't
  • Music with KaiTo close the evening together

A photographer and videographer will document parts of the evening. You can choose a no photo sticker at the door, and there will be a photo free area.

Gathering two, late 2026

Grief and anger

With Camille Barton. A space to meet grief and anger not as problems to fix, but as information from the bodymind about what we love and what needs to change. Held with care, at a pace that leaves room for everyone.

Content note: this session touches on grief, loss and anger, including experiences of violence. You can step out at any time, and a support person will be present throughout. More details to follow.
