Bloom Class
What can you expect?
On your way to adulthood, you (un)consciously carry all kinds of things with you from home. For a long time, your parent(s) and/or caregiver(s) set the rules of your life. They plant seeds that grow into beliefs, norms, and values. How do you look at what you’ve brought with you from home? How has your upbringing shaped you?
During the Blooming Class
We take a psychological and sociological look at how your upbringing has shaped you.
What are we looking for?
What expectations did your parent(s) and/or caregiver(s) pass on to you in this regard? During this evening, you’ll take stock.
With theories
According to sociologist Marlies Buchman, traditions within growing up are no longer as fixed as they used to be. First you went to school, then work, marriage, and living together; now it’s much more flexible.
Engaging in conversation
During this Bloom Class, you’ll engage in conversation with others about what’s on your mind. No quick opinions, but honest conversations where you listen, ask questions, and gain new insights.
What do you take with you?
You’ll create a lifeline and reflect on how you got here, where you stand now, and how you’ll move forward. Put on your childhood shoes and splash in the puddles of your upbringing!
What does an evening look like?
Our methods
In the blooming class, we work with a mix of personal stories, scientific theory, creative assignments, movement, and reflection. These methods invite openness, vulnerability, and playfulness, so you can grow at your own pace. What starts out as exciting for many participants soon feels valuable and connecting.
