Veronique Kilian was the initiator and co-founder of Young Sietar. Young Sietar is a network organisation for young professionals in the field of intercultural management, training and research.

In 1997 the founding congress When Cultures Connect took place in Amsterdam. In the preface of the congress manual she wrote: “My reason to start Young Sietar is the longing to connect to young professionals (to be) in the field of intercultural relations, to be among my own generation. My thought was that graduates and professionals could learn from each other, and this thought could materialize in Young Sietar.”

Past Workshops:

“Integration of conflicting sides” (2004)

“If you can only own the Light in you and deny the Dark in you, then the Dark will come to rule you. Because you are unwilling to deal with your own shadow, you will project it onto others and call them ‘bad’.” Danaan Perry, Warriors of the Heart.

In this workshop you will have the opportunity to integrate two conflicting sides in you, so you can start to ‘own’ the side in you that you are bothered by. Learn the positive intentions and the overall goal, which is necessary for synthesis and cooperation of different parts in you.

“Essential Peacemaking Women and Men” 2,5 day training (2004)

“ I believe it's because this work - the healing of the rifts between men and women - is at the core of what the world is crying out for in these days” Jane Velten

This seminar is given by two men and two women. It is an opportunity to let go of old wounds, to express yourself in your full male or female power and heal yourself in a deeper layer. Sharing anxiety and needs in a safe environment and having a look in the ‘other (men’s or women’s) world’ can be the seed for surprising experiences in the future.
