Thursday, November 19 - Surf Your Stress Week
Today you get to meet the 'Monkey in your Mind’ and learn how to deal with this uninvited guest. Discover how you and your monkey can reach a state of peaceful co-existence.
Find your digital balance
Can you imagine life without the internet or social media? Johan van Houten can! He went offline for an entire year. Back to a landline telephone, finding your way without Google Maps, postcards instead of apps, and flirting face to face in a café.
The challenging times of COVID-19 forces us to spend even more time online. It’s a blessing and a curse at the same time. Don’t you wish you could take back control of your life that is ruled by e-mails, phones, and social media?
In this workshop tonight, Johan van Houten will share the benefits of spending time offline and gives practical tips on how to achieve a healthy digital balance, step by step.
And there is more: Check out the full day program below.
