TEDx Salon - What Makes Life Meaningful?

What makes a life truly meaningful? Is it success, impact, love, freedom—or something harder to define? In a world full of choices and expectations, have you asked: Am I living a life that actually matters to me?

This TEDx Salon is an invitation to slow down and explore that question together.
We’ll go beyond surface-level answers and explore:
- Where meaning comes from (and where it doesn’t)
- Why purpose can feel so unclear or shifting
- How uncertainty and meaning are deeply connected

Our special guests:
Rawia Liverpool
Rawia is a Transactional Analysis counsellor and an NLP coach based in The Hague. She works with internationals who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful, lasting change. Her own personal journey, shaped by early experiences of racism and exclusion, sparked a lifelong curiosity about identity, belonging, and emotional resilience. This deeply informs the way she works and the space she holds for others at her practice Recipes4Change which she started in 2012.

Florent Coudyser
Florent helps entrepreneurs scale up better. But a few months ago he was diagnosed with ALS, a disease gradually shuts down his body. His entire life has changed. He describes his experiences and learning in the book "The Tunnel of Hope".

This is not a workshop with answers. It’s a space to think, feel, and connect—with yourself and others navigating similar questions.

This event is 2 hours + drink/networking.
