The COiL offers opportunities for encounters around life themes and a sense of meaning.
It is not always easy to deal with what life brings. Sometimes you are unsure how to go about things. Telling your story to someone who listens to you can then be helpful and provide space.
The COiL can put you in touch with a volunteer who has an ear for your story. This person will listen to you calmly and attentively, and takes their time, so that you can tell your story in peace.
For conversations specifically about the end-of-life phase, you can read more under Save for later.
Sometimes people look back on their lives. Where do I come from and what have I experienced? What was important to me? Everyone has their own reason for writing down memories. Making a Life Book is a wonderful way to reflect on who you are and what you have experienced.
You can do this together with a volunteer from the Centre for Meeting on Life Questions. Over the course of a number of conversations, you will create a book of your stories together.
A short version of the Life Story Book is a Life portrait, which is characteristic of you and your life.
Would you like to meet others and exchange views on matters that occupy your mind? And that touch upon questions of meaning and life? The COiL organises and facilitates discussion groups in Nijmegen. Here you can share your experiences and thoughts and listen to those of others. Therefore, it is important that you are open to the stories of others and have the space within yourself to hear this. For some discussion groups, preparation is required. If you sign up for a specific group, this will be discussed with you.
In the menu below, you can choose between Individual conversation, Life story book or Discussion group.
