Dear all,

I hope that you have enjoyed your summertime to the fullest and made memories to last forever or at least until the beginning of a new summer time !

September is the beginning of autumn and also widely known as a month of new knowledge. NIC offers us various activities to support learning and experiencing new things. If, for some reason, you haven’t had time to reach out to our magnificent activity leaders then your next opportunity is our Coffee Morning (CM) on the 20th of September.

At the same time, we shouldn’t forget ourselves and the switching off we need from time to time while acquiring new knowledge. Therefore, it is adequately important to remind ourselves to rest more. By this, I mean mental, sensory, creative, etc. rest as much as physical one. There’s a nice article my doctor friend suggested me to read to remind me that we need different types of rest: The 7 types of rest that every person needs | (ted.com)

I have to say that it was a challenge for me to come up with a motto for our new season.
But thinking about my NIC friends it finally hit me and it couldn’t have been better –

STRONGER TOGETHER!

This is what I am hoping that we will be during the forthcoming months and years!

I am looking forward to meeting you all in person very soon! Hopefully on our first CM of the season.

With love,
Gerly

and shadows will fall behind you.”
