E Numbers and Additives – Do You Know What You Are E-Ting?

A group of young lab rats (well, actually they were students of Future Planet Studies) went into the wild and asked the people in Amsterdam if they know what is in their food. Armed with white coats, knowledge and theatrical skills the ‘E-Doctors’ set up a public laboratory on Dam square to “test” consumer products purchased by unsuspecting passers-by, trying to make them aware of what all those E numbers on their food and drinks mean.

Anxiety and Expat Life

In my work as a psychologist in Amsterdam, I often help and support people with anxiety disorders: panic attacks, chronic agitation, stress, psycho-physical tensions, insomnia, etc.
All these conditions are becoming more and more frequent and, indeed, very present in our daily life. They are no longer alterations or disorders, but rather normal things: “I’m stressed out!”; “I can’t handle it anymore!”; “What a hectic life, always in a rush!”; “I am completely burnt out!”

Ubuntu, the philosophy of forgiveness and reconciliation.

Nelson Mandela, a man who cannot simply be described by words. December 5th was the day that he left this earthly world at the honorable age of 95. The world lost a great personality that day. A man who taught us how powerful a mind can be and what we can overcome if we are capable to think and especially to act from something that is bigger than you.
