Women's Hub Day

      Saturday, June 3rd, 2023

      CONTENT You will get to know each other, exchange ideas, and inspire each other. Throughout the day several women will present on our stage. Our HUB TALKS are about women who want to share their ideas, visions, and projects and receive in-depth reflections from the audience. There will also be an external INSPIRATION TALK. During the interactive parts of the day you will be able to introduce yourself and get to know each other better. Of course, there will be personal encounters throughout the day during the breaks or in the evening with a glass of wine. Stay tuned ...

      SHARE YOUR VISION Some women have the opportunity to present their story as a HUB TALK. You will take home valuable impulses from different perspectives and written comments with kind, constructive feedback from all women. A Turbo Booster for your journey! Do you want to go on stage this time or do you want to be inspired as part of the audience and give feedback to the others? Then sign up!

      LIVE YOUR DREAM Be open, show yourself as you are, and you will experience our community’s magic beyond the WOMEN’S HUB DAY. We invite you to connect and support each other. That is why groups are founded at WOMEN'S HUB DAYs, meetings are arranged etc. The WOMEN'S HUB DAY sets scene for everything that happens in the community – both in-person and digital (through social media).

      WOMAN ON STAGE
      LIRA LOW

      EMPATHY IN CONFLICT: A MIRRORED SELF IN PAIN

      LIRA LOW
      Peacemaker

      For the past decade, Lira Low has been practicing the art of conflict resolution and mediation in (armed) conflicts all around the world. Along the way, she specialized in trauma interventions, and more recently pivoted to mediation and mental health support for individuals, families and businesses with mixed cultural backgrounds.

      Due to her work and personal experience, Lira is deeply aware that we all carry pain, shame and trauma. And she knows that most of us don’t realize how that affects our mindset and choices, especially when we are in a conflict situation and the stakes are high.

      Each time something inside us breaks, it results in pain, shame, trauma and vulnerabilities, and we try to cover up the deepening wounds even more. We might inflict pain on others to draw attention away from where we are hurting ourselves. 
      But there’s hope, as empathy can change things. It is when we begin to become aware of and understand our pain that we can take a small step towards seeing ourselves in the other, and our innate humanity and clarity are revealed in coming to solutions and resolving differences. 

      Join Lira as she opens up on why brokering peace is her life’s mission, her ongoing battle against her inner voices of shame and defeat, dealing with life’s lemons and the continuous cultivation of empathy amidst the challenges of starting her own company in trauma-informed conflict resolution and mediation for private individuals and companies - all made more interesting with an intercultural twist.

      WOMAN ON STAGE
      ESTHER JANSSEN

      FROM WOUNDED TO HEALER: The transformative power of gentle touch

      ESTHER JANSSEN
      Tantra masseuse

      As a sensitive being born into an emotionally distant family, Esther Janssen felt herself forced to leave home at a young age. That was the start to an adventurous life, living all over the world, and working as a dancer. She lived life to the fullest, experiencing incredible adventures, but also being exposed to extremely painful experiences and hardship.

      Esther was always a giver, denying her own needs and feelings, until she ended up in a severe burnout. With no energy, and no zest for life left, she started her healing journey with the help of a psychologist, and various spiritual and energetic therapies. But the key to her healing and self-love were the tantric massage courses she took, that finally allowed her to heal her trauma and move forward.

      Now, Esther recognizes that the terrible experiences she has been through have shaped her essence as a therapist.  Through her gentle tantra massage, she now helps other women heal their traumas, reconnect to their bodies, learn about their needs and feel self-love.

      Even though she was told that women would not be open to receive tantra massages, Esther has already massaged 400 women. But her vision is much bigger than that. She recently started a passion project where she brings together a wide range of therapists and healers to help heal women who suffer(ed) from abuse and have limited or no financial means. And she doesn't stop there...

      At the WOMEN'S HUB stage, Esther will share what the world could look like if all women embraced their primal power, and what she does to make that vision a reality.

      WOMAN ON STAGE
      BÜŞRA COŞKUNER

      WHEN PLAYING BY THE RULES FEELS LIKE PRISON: A REBEL ABOUT BEING TAMED.

      BÜŞRA COŞKUNER
      Founder, Product Coach, Trainer & Educator - And the hidden rebel.

      This is a story of a girl who grew up in a cultural environment that she doesn’t fit in. But she didn’t know…

      At age 18, Büşra noticed that there’s a different world outside, and her small world collapsed for the first time. Trying to work against her inner voice, she lost herself even more, until the wrecking ball hit her with 26 when she married a man that made it clear to her that this wasn’t the world she wanted to live in. Only when she divorced and turned 30, she understood who she actually is and lived her life to the fullest.

      But then, after her soul found freedom and was able to live free in Berlin, the city of no rules, she again had to let go of who she was when moving to Switzerland 3 years later to follow her love, the man who helped her to break through and find herself.

      7 years passed by, and she’s still in the process of finding herself again. Following her desire of not playing by rules she doesn’t like, she left the corporate world. Now, she is also on a journey to find her authentic ‘business self’ as a founder, product management coach and trainer at Producteer GmbH.

      Büşra's talk at the WOMEN’S HUB stage is part of her journey to let her unique self shine both in her personal and her professional life 💛🖤

      SIDDHI MEHTA

      LAYERS OF IDENTITY: Unwrapping the journey of an Indian chocolate entrepreneur in Switzerland

      SIDDHI MEHTA
      Founder at rhythm108

      How did an Indian expat end up owning a thriving business in one of the most Swiss products of all? 🍫

      This is the story of Siddhi, who grew up in Europe, born to two Indian parents from Mumbai.  From a very young age, she had mixed feelings about her heritage.  She cherished her Indian roots, but when her mom wore a bindi at a school event, she felt embarrassed and didn’t want to stand out.

      Now a mom herself, Siddhi feels it is time to show up as her full self.  But this is hard, and something holds her back…

      At the Women’s Hub stage, Siddhi will share about her rich family history, her journey in embracing her heritage, why she thinks it’s important to reconcile with your roots, and her next steps as an Indian entrepreneur in Switzerland.
