The next series of Conscious Connections will take place in semester 2 from April onward. Please register for the waiting list, and we will keep you up to date about spots opening up or when registration for the new group starts (next semester).

Feeling lonely in a room full of people or in a city full of friends can be very discouraging. But it is also very common. On our search for meaningful connections, we can experience unhappiness even though there are enough people around who care for us. So, we wonder if anything is wrong with us or with our relationships? Ironically, these thoughts - in turn – can impact our existing and even potential interactions. 

By bringing together UU students seeking to connect to themselves as well as to others, we want to start an open conversation about mental wellbeing, moving from shared experience to shared growth. If you are curious about your relationships and mental health you are invited to sign-up via the link below.

For optimal cohesion and growth, participation in all 6 sessions is ideal. However, you are still welcome to join within the first 3 sessions if you start after the initial date or cannot attend all sessions. Just let us know via letstalk@uu.nl. After the first 3 sessions, it will no longer be possible to join the group. However, you can sign up for the waiting list for the next semester.

Introductory Interview and Questions
To ensure you are a good fit for the group (and the group for you) and manage expectations, a brief individual interview will be held with one of the students guiding the sessions, upon your registration. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us via letstalk@uu.nl.
