The programme 

The evening will begin at 19:30 with a walk-in, followed by the official start at 20:00 with a Long Table Talk. This hybrid performance, installation, and roundtable discussion invites both conversation and creativity. Guests can listen, join the conversation, or take notes and doodle on the paper tablecloth as we explore questions such as: How can storytelling help us navigate grief? How can it create space for mourning in a world that often avoids it? And how can it connect us in our shared experiences of loss? 

After a short break (and a piece of cake!), we’ll dive into a Storytelling and Writing Workshop led by Krina Huisman, founder of Rouw & Zingeving (Grief & Meaning).  Krina will introduce her research on the vital role of storytelling in processing grief and guide you through letter-writing techniques and a creative writing journey. The evening will close with time for sharing, reflection, drinks, and more cake, accompanied by music.
