Mindfulness workshop in the ARTIS zoo 4 June 2025 09:45 - 12:00

Share
Join fellow VU & UvA students for a unique Mindful Safari at Amsterdam’s ARTIS Zoo.

You will enjoy free entry to the zoo, a guided workshop by psychologist Daisy Alsemgeest, and a free lunch - all designed to help you relax, recharge, and meet new people.

What you’ll get out of it

  • Learn how to manage emotions and regulate your nervous system.
  • Discover how observing animals can help you feel calmer and more present.
  • Connect with others who care about mental wellbeing and nature.
  • Experience how playfulness and relaxation in animals can inspire the same states in you.

Friendship match-up

Are you also planning on coming on your own? And do you want to meet someone new to explore the zoo with? Choose the friend shipping match-up option when signing up! ESN (Erasmus Student Network) will pair you with another student based on shared interests. You’ll get a short form to help us find the best match. On the day of the event, you’ll meet your new buddy at the zoo entrance and start your adventure together.

This event is part of Mental Health Week and is a collaboration between the University of Amsterdam (UvA), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU), ESN, and the GGD. It’s a chance to reconnect–with yourself, others, and the natural world.
