CURIOSITY TALKS: Wellbeing & Music
Brussels Creativity Lab presents
CURIOSITY TALKS
We wish to invite you to the first edition of Curiosity Talks, taking place on 29 September at Commons Hub Brussels, 18:00-20:00.
Curiosity Talks is a space for reconnecting through the art of dialogue.
In a world shaped by constant noise and digital distance, Curiosity Talks offers a sanctuary for the slower, more human side of life. Rather than a traditional talk or presentation, it is an intimate conversation where diverse voices come together to explore what it means to be truly present.
The evening is about stepping away from the pressure of productivity to exchange ideas, share personal stories, and explore different perspectives. Our hope is to create conversations that touch, move and inspire, leaving everyone with fresh insights and a deeper sense of connection.
For this first edition, the theme is: Wellbeing and Music
How can we consciously protect space for the slower, more human elements of life? How do you find or maintain a sense of internal rhythm and presence when your day-to-day work demands intense mental structure? We will explore such questions and more.
The format is simple and relaxed:
A one-hour facilitated conversation, followed by informal networking.
A dialogue between two speakers, with participation from the audience.
Facilitated by Richard Kelly and Christopher Malapitan.
No presentations or slides, just honest conversation, curiosity and connection.
About our speakers:
