Pretty Brilliant Gathering

How do we hold ourselves within the mysteries of our time? How can we reclaim our creativity, strenght and softness to help shape the world around us?

Following the release of the acclaimed Pretty Brilliant Women in the Arts series (vol. I-III), See All This is bringing Pretty Brilliant to life with a special gathering in the lead-up to International Women’s Day in collaboration with De Nieuwe Creatieven, an artist collective from Nijmegen.

We’re delighted to invite you to a curated afternoon guided by pioneering women from the art world and beyond, centred on one guiding question: How do we support women in rising? Moving beyond conventional narratives of ‘female empowerment’, we will explore alternative ways of being and working – grounded in essential values such as sisterhood, alignment, compassion and resilience.

13:30 ~ Doors open

14:00 ~ Welcome + Opening by See All This‘ founding editor Nicole Ex about Goddesses, specifically the Goddess of Water. While we’re increasingly questioning models of power based on control and hierarchy, water represents a different kind of strength: it yields, adapts, nourishes and erodes over time.

14:30 ~ Eva Bartels, multidisciplinary artist, speaks about the layers of female identity and archetypes. She is working on the ten-part series Mothers of Art, in which she honours and reinterprets pioneering female artists.

14:50 ~ Artist, writer, and founder of Ideaphoria, Seleyn DeYarus explores how we can ground ourselves in a new way of being: brilliance as love.

15.00 ~ Gal Charu Weiler, creative healer and energy reader, on body work and the weaving inside yourself that will remind you how we used to influence reality through the ages. ‘It’s time for the feminine to rise and bring new standards of being humans together.’

15:30 ~ Break

15.45 ~ With Ellis Schoonhoven, artist and founder of De Nieuwe Creatieven, we will bring the practice of The Artist’s Way to life: of exploring your inner landscape and connecting freely with your creative sources via journaling.

Group discussion in circles of eight: What do you dream for the future — and what is your role in it?

17.00 ~ Group wrap-up, moderated by Nicole Ex
17.15 ~ Closing water ritual with Noortje Buiteling & Jacqueline H. Koome
17.30 ~ Drinks
18:30 ~ End
