Discover what we offer
Bloom Classes
A Bloom Class is a moment to slow down and reflect amidst the hustle and bustle of the day. You’ll be prompted with deep questions that help you look at yourself and your life differently. Together, we explore a central theme through reflection, theory, and sharing with others.
Types of Bloom Classes
In many Bloom Classes, we talk about specific themes, but we also offer classes where we get creative or move around.
De Kwekerij is free
Currently, Bloom Classes are free, thanks to contributions from municipalities, funds, and donors. In the future, we may ask for a contribution from participants.
Meeting others
You’ll meet like-minded people dealing with similar questions. This creates a sense of recognition and often leads to beautiful, unexpected conversations.
Comfortable atmosphere
During a Bloom Class, complex or emotional topics are sometimes discussed. The Growers (our trainers) invite you to share your story, but you’re never obligated to. We provide a safe space where you decide what you do or don’t want to share.
We are located throughout the Netherlands
We are active in Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, and Haarlem. You can sign up via the registration form on the page of the Bloom Class you’d like to attend.
What does a Bloom Class look like?
A Bloom Class is an interactive session—but only if you want it to be! You can participate in exercises designed to explore the central question. We also share perspectives to get you thinking and create space for slowing down and reflection. We believe that’s when wisdom and valuable insights get the room they need to bloom.

Who is a Bloom Class for?
Our Bloom Classes are developed for and by young adults who want to reflect on important life questions, both big and small. Maybe you’re struggling with something, or you’re just curious. The Growers, our trainers, are happy to think along with you and provide tools based on theory and experience. A Bloom Class might feel a bit exciting at first, but nothing is mandatory! You don’t have to share your thoughts if you don’t feel comfortable. But know that we create a safe space if you do choose to.
Come and experience a Bloom Class too.
Curious?
What if we disagree?
In this flourishing class, we offer ideas and exercises on how you can handle conflict effectively.
What can you do with your upbringing?
On the road to adulthood, you (un)consciously take all sorts of things with you from home. How do you look at what you’ve inherited from your background?
What do you do with your upbringing?
Put on your childhood shoes and splash in the puddles of your upbringing!
