Connecting through Heartfelt Stories

“Heartfelt Stories” (Warme Verhalen) is all about sharing personal, meaningful narratives. Human to human, rooted in your own experiences, with no specific agenda or pressure to perform. It is a space for genuine connection, reaching beyond professional titles, roles, or formal structures. Here, it doesn’t matter what you do or what position you hold; what matters is who you are and what you have experienced.

During this meeting, you can share your own stories and are invited to listen to the stories of others. You will discover what emerges when diverse perspectives – no matter how different – come together on equal footing.

We follow the Warm Data Lab process, a conversational framework developed by Nora Bateson (researcher, writer, systems thinker, and a wonderful human being). The structure is simple, creating an open space where you can explore what is alive within yourself and others. It offers a glimpse into the complexity of existence and what life looks like for the people around you. Sometimes surprising, sometimes relatable, and always worthwhile. The language used will sometimes be Dutch and sometimes English (see the agenda).

Please read this page on Warm Data Labs (in Dutch) to find more information on what a lab is like and how people experience participating in one. If you have any questions, please contact me!
