On these evenings, we will put into practice what we learned from Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings under the guide of Hans d'Achard. |

It's time for another old-fashioned Eat & Meet, where we experience a foreign culture in a playful dinner-setting. This time, it's Greece!
There will be delicious Greek food (both vegetarian and non-vegetarian), and a Greek student will play a bit of piano and sing. We might also do something with Greek dancing, or show a Greek movie. We're not yet sure about the details, but it'll be fun :) |

Door Suzette van IJssel, vrijgevestigd geestelijk verzorger, docent en onderzoeker van hedendaagse spiritualiteit. Mystieke stilte gaat verder dan fysieke stilte.Wetenschapster en nobelprijswinnaar Barbara McClintock luisterde vanuit zo'n mystieke stilte naar haar onderzoeksmateriaal en deed heel bijzondere ontdekkingen. Suzette geeft aan hoe dit voorbeeld haar inspireert en hoe wij allemaal de werkelijkheid dieper kunnen ervaren dan waar we ons bewust van zijn. Deze lezing maakt deel uit van de manifestatie Stilte aan het Werk, een ontwerpend onderzoek naar hedendaagse stiltemomenten. Na de lezing is er gelegenheid tot napraten in het stilte-café. |

| We don't know yet when we will offer this event. | Sigmund Freud's work into the bubbling and murky world of the subconscious changed the world. By introducing a technique to probe the unconscious mind, Freud provided useful tools for understanding the secret desires of the masses. Unwittingly, his work served as the precursor to a world full of political spin doctors, marketing moguls, and society's belief that the pursuit of satisfaction and happiness is man's ultimate goal.
To many in both politics and business, the triumph of the self is the ultimate expression of democracy, where power has finally moved to the people. Certainly the people may feel they are in charge, but are they really? This series is about how those in power have used Freud's theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy. This event takes place on four Tuesday evenings; each evening, we will show one part from a 4-part documentary, and talk about what we saw in the documentary. |

Aan de hand van de systeemtheorie van de Hongaarse Amerikaanse psychiater Nagy kijk je naar jouw stamboom (genogram) gekoppeld aan belangrijke feiten uit jouw familie. Hierdoor krijg je inzicht in jouw plek binnen het geheel. Deze plek bepaalt wat je mag en wat je moet, wat jouw functie is. Dat komt niet zelden tot uiting in de keuze van je studie, maar ook in de rol die je in groepen hebt. Het kan bevrijdend en verbindend werken om op een nieuwe manier naar jezelf te kijken. |

Het leert je dat elk mens zich voornamelijk in een van de types weerspiegeld ziet, terwijl hij toch ook uniek is. Zowel je eigenheid als je karaktertype zijn bepalend voor de wijze waarop je keuzes maakt, relaties aangaat, samen werkt met anderen en uitdagingen ervaart. Door je te verdiepen in het enneagram krijg je in noodtijd inzicht in je eigen drijfveren en gedragingen en ontwikkelingsmogelijkheden. |  |

| We don't know yet when we will offer this event. | Contact is essential for human beings but how do you establish contact and why is it easier with some but harder with others?
A condition for real contact is clarity. However, most of our communication is non-verbal and unconscious in nature. For those who desire real contact it’s valuable to gain insight in their own non-verbal communication. During this workshop we will receive a theoretical introduction into unconscious and non-verbal communication structures. These have been developed by psycho-therapist Eric Berne and are more easily understood by Barry Goodfield’s video-analytical method. |

|
| We don't know yet when we will offer this event. | Watching footage of yourself played at a slow pace, is an effective way to observe your own unconscious and non-verbal behavior. Using the Goodfield video-analytical method you are presented with an opportunity for change. Unconscious behavior often evolves and forms during infancy. Because children can’t always formulate a rational answer for everything they perceive and encounter – unconscious survival strategies begin to take hold. The overwhelming emotions that arise from those experiences are ingrained into the physical body before finally manifesting as non-verbal behavior with added meaning: closing eyes, sticking out tongue, raising eyebrows.
Why not come and have a good look at yourself? This workshop ends at 16.30; lunch is included. |

| We don't know yet when we will offer this event. | In honor of the world food day 2011 T!NT and Mosaic would like to invite you to a fair dinner about sustainability and world food issues. The fair dinner is prepared with the food that every person in the world should be able to eat if there was world-wide sustainable production, careful distribution of food and less wastage.
A lot of people feel more and more responsible for the way we deal with hunger and poverty in the world, but feel also powerless about their possibilities to have influence. In a round table conversation (international) students and experts are invited to share their ideas about how to increase the awareness about food production and hunger. Between the courses there will also be a quiz to challenge everybody on how he or she can contribute to alleviate hunger and poverty and to increase hope and humanity. Speakers on this evening are Saraub Arora (Industrial Engineering & Innovation Science at TU/e) and Sjef Ernes (director of Aqua for All ). |
