~ Community Day By Surya ~

By Surya is a multifunctional community space in Groningen for shared use — a warm and cozy place for connection, inspiration, creativity, and possibilities.
The space is suited for workshops, artistic projects, movement, group sessions, co-working, and community-focused activities. It offers a homelike atmosphere where people can come together to create, explore, and collaborate.

With this Community Day, we would like to give you a taste of the kind of activities that take place at By Surya. You can get to know us and our (growing) team of facilitators and space holders: Dhalai, Marije, Germa, Lana & Nathan. We we will introduce ourselves and what we offer and happily take you with us during a connecting, playful and magical day!
