⛪️ On Wednesday, December 16th, we'll turn the beautiful Oosterkerk into a calm haven for our first ever edition of The Pause, The Offline Club's (new!) quarterly event series for personal reflection an deep connection, including a live piano concert by Cécile Schulte 🤩. Join us and 150+ others for an unhurried evening to unwind and reflect on your 2026 - filled with guided reflection exercises, introspection, inspiration and genuine connection with the people around you.
More info on what to expect below...

What to Expect:
🕯️ A guided reflection with exercises designed for you to pause, reconnect, and find mental calm
🎹 Gentle live piano to find your flow during the silent introspection
💬 Shared reflection to connect deeply and have genuine conversations with a variety of like-minded people (optional*)
☕️ Free tea, coffee and cookies
*If you prefer to stay in your own bubble, there's a dedicated 'me-time corner' for you to do so - no expectations.

All creative and paper supplies will be taken care of by us - but feel free to bring your own journal, pen and markers if you prefer. .

🕯️ Quiet reflection (guided)
This is your time to take a step back and reflect in shared silence, dreaming away to soothing live piano tunes. Reflect on your goals, joys, challenges, relationships and more. This part will be a guided written and visual reflection led by Ilya, one of the Club's founders.
❤️ Connect with Others
Connect with the people around you through curated small-group reflections. Exchange thoughts, share insights, and have meaningful conversations to find support, inspiration and deep connection.

We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time and reflect together with you 😍
