Sessions Amsterdam: Special Event / Personal Leadership Session

Special Session #3 – Inner Fire

A day about direction, resistance and knowing when to let go

Fire is more than something that burns. It brings clarity, energy, transformation and tension. Sometimes it sparks. Sometimes it fades. Sometimes it needs to be rebuilt.

This third edition of the special leadership program, part of Sessions Community, uses fire as a symbol for the inner work many of us are doing. Making decisions. Feeling boundaries. Finding energy. Letting go. Each of the four workshops approaches that theme in its own way.

You choose two. We take care of the space, the rhythm and the group.No stage. No pressure. Just time and space for what’s real.

Why join

Because you don’t need quick answers, but space to reflect.Because you feel something shifting, even if you’re not sure what.Because you want to meet others who are also figuring things out.Because you want to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

This event is part of the side track of Sessions Community. Not about performance. Not about outcomes. It is about presence, connection and discovering something new.

The workshops – choose two

Fire making as inner practice

Facilitated by Jan-Jelle – WildFounder Adventures

In this workshop you will learn how to make fire with a firesteel. Not for survival, but for reflection. What happens when it doesn’t work right away? What do you do when you lose control or feel frustration? How do you deal with teamwork and uncertainty? The act of fire making becomes a mirror.For people who want to explore focus, patience and non-verbal leadership.

The power of vulnerability

Facilitated by Wytze Jan Atsma – NXUS Training

Wytze Jan works with leaders and teams to build psychological safety. Step out of the daily work routine and discover what true teamwork really means. During this outdoor workshop, inspired by The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni, you and your team will experience, both physically and mentally, the true power of collaboration.

Through a series of physical and mental challenges, your group will be confronted with the core principles of effective teamwork: trust, healthy conflict, commitment, accountability, and focus on results. This is not a theoretical lecture, but a hands-on experience with space for reflection.

Be surprised by what can emerge when people dare to build a strong and resilient team, together.

Systemic work in movement

Facilitated by Fleur Svanhild Peters.

Fleur combines systemic work, body awareness and group dynamics. This session gives you a soft but honest look into the invisible patterns you carry. Through simple movements, pair work and mini constellations you can feel what influences your behaviour and choices today. 

For people who want to better understand their own patterns without needing to explain them.

Pivot or persevere

Facilitated by Axelle Ahanhanzo – LAUDACE

Axelle is the founder of LAUDACE and an experienced facilitator in personal leadership and inclusion. This workshop helps you reflect on a decision that matters to you. Should you continue or let go. What needs to shift. You will work with her SELF model (self-awareness, empowerment, leadership, flow), journaling and partner exercises to bring clarity.For those who are navigating a transition or feel something is changing inside.
