About this event
An embodied journey into the inner landscape
The Living Bridge of Wisdom invites you to a full-day gathering in Tilburg, facilitated by Helene Lindmark and supported by Annick Cools.
There are times when life asks us to pause.
Not to withdraw from the world, but to listen more deeply to how we are meeting it.
How do I remain connected to myself while being in relationship with others?
What happens when I move from the noise of the mind into the intelligence of the body?
How do I remain open to life without losing myself in everything moving around me?
In Relation with Life is a full-day workshop devoted to these questions.
It is an invitation to slow down and explore the relationship between our inner landscape and the life unfolding around us.
We will meet through embodied practice, reflection, deep listening and shared inquiry. There will be space for movement and stillness, individual exploration and moments together.
This is not a day about becoming someone else.
It is an opportunity to come closer to what is already present — to notice what the body carries, what the heart remembers and what may become visible when we give ourselves time to listen.
MEETING IN OUR DIFFERENCES
We will arrive from different places.
We carry different histories, experiences, longings and ways of understanding life. We do not need to become the same in order to meet.
Our differences are not an obstacle to the day. They are part of what makes this meeting and this journey unique.
We gather with respect for what each person carries and with the understanding that every inner landscape has its own rhythm.
No previous experience is needed.
You are invited to come as you are, with curiosity and a willingness to meet yourself, one another and the day with honesty, care and an open heart.
THE INNER LANDSCAPE
The outer world often asks us to move quickly, respond immediately and remain available to many voices at once.
It can become difficult to hear what is true within us.
During this day, we will explore what it means to return to the body as a living compass.
Not to escape from life, but to enter into a more conscious relationship with it.
We may listen to questions such as:
Where am I now?
What am I carrying?
What belongs to me, and what have I taken on from others?
What does my body already know?
What is the next honest step?
We do not need to arrive with answers.
The day itself becomes a space for listening.
THE FLOW OF THE DAY
The workshop will move organically between:
- embodied awareness and grounding
- guided inner exploration
- reflection and shared inquiry
- deep listening
- movement and stillness
- individual experience and moments in circle
The structure will support the day while leaving space for what emerges within the group.
Participation is always an invitation. You remain responsible for your own boundaries and are encouraged to listen to what feels right for you throughout the day.
POTLUCK LUNCH — THE ART OF GIVING AND RECEIVING
At the centre of the day, we will gather around a shared potluck lunch.
Each person is invited to bring a dish or something nourishing, made or chosen with care, to place on our common table. What we bring does not need to be elaborate. Together, our individual contributions become a meal.
The potluck is more than a practical arrangement. It is part of the spirit of the day — an experience of community, reciprocity and the art of giving and receiving.
We each offer something.
We each receive from what others have brought.
In this simple exchange, the shared table becomes another way of meeting one another in relationship.
If your food contains common allergens, please bring a small note describing the ingredients.
WHAT TO BRING
Please bring:
- a water bottle
- warm, soft and comfortable clothing that allows you to move and rest
- warm socks, slippers or something comfortable for your feet
- a scarf or personal eye covering
- a notebook and pen, if you wish to write
- a dish or something nourishing to share at our common table
- an open heart and a willingness to meet the day as it is
ABOUT THE LIVING BRIDGE OF WISDOM
The Living Bridge of Wisdom is a meeting place for ancestral understanding, embodied knowledge and contemporary life.
Its work begins in relationship — relationship with ourselves, with one another, with nature and with life itself.
Through gatherings, conversations, mentoring and place-based experiences, The Living Bridge of Wisdom creates spaces where different forms of knowledge can meet without one needing to diminish the other.
The intention is not to provide ready-made answers, but to support deeper listening, personal responsibility and a more conscious way of living in relationship with the world around us.
The Living Bridge of Wisdom was founded by Helene Lindmark and continues to grow through the people, relationships and communities connected to its work.
ABOUT HELENE LINDMARK
Founder and Facilitator
Helene Lindmark was born in Liikavaara, in Sápmi, northern Sweden, into a family shaped by Sámi, Finnish and Swedish roots.
Her life and work have been formed through a lifelong relationship with nature, ancestral understanding, the body and the inner landscape. Her professional background includes social services, psychiatric care and trauma-informed work.
Across many years, she has accompanied individuals and groups through periods of transition, deep inquiry and returning to themselves.
Helene works as a wisdom keeper, speaker, space holder and bridge-builder between ancestral understanding and contemporary life.
She does not come as a teacher standing above the circle, but as an invited elder who enters the space with respect, presence and deep listening.
Her work begins in relationship: relationship with ourselves, with one another, with nature and with life itself.
ABOUT ANNICK COOLS
Assistant and Trusted Support
Annick Cools has worked closely with Helene for five years as her assistant and trusted support.
She holds many of the practical and organisational threads before, during and after gatherings, creating the continuity and stable ground that allow Helene to remain fully present with the people and the process.
