Have you ever found yourself wondering:
“Who am I, really?”
“How can I know myself?”
“Do I truly accept myself — just as I am?”
This July, we invite you to an intimate book talk and open conversation with Douglas Holwerda, an American psychotherapist with 28 years of experience — including over a decade of living and working in Vietnam.
Together, we’ll explore themes from his recently released book:
Living From the Inside Out: Part One – Begin Within
A simple and insightful look into the primary elements of our inner world — emotions, thoughts, and the body — and how they shape the way we live.
---
🌿 What to expect:
- An overview of ideas from Douglas about how self-awareness is key to personal growth, how self-knowledge is important to authenticity, and how healing comes from reflection and introspection, learning to live from the inside out
- A moment to slow down, tune in, and listen to what’s true for you
- An open space for your questions — whatever feels relevant or alive for you
- Meaningful connection with others who may be walking similar path
---
✨ This gathering is for you if:
- You’re on a journey of self-discovery
- You care about emotional well-being, authenticity, and the mind–body connection
- You want to feel more at home in yourself — and connect with a like-hearted community
