Conversations on the theme of presence continue in 2025!

Brèches invites you to take part in one of two upcoming conversations, open to anyone who is curious and interested in the theme of presence.

These two gatherings will take place in the unique setting of the former refectory of the Soeurs Hospitalières, on May 27 and September 24, from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

True to its mission, Brèches seeks to create spaces for genuine, meaningful encounters—spaces where new possibilities can emerge, and creative relationships can form between ideas, people, and practices.

During this conversation, you'll be invited to contribute to a kaleidoscopic view of presence—an opportunity to be nourished by it, and to enrich it through your own experiences, perspectives, and approaches.

Rather than reaching a single, shared definition, our intention is to explore how the notion of presence unfolds and connects to human experience—both individually and collectively.

While the first round of these conversations was by invitation, we’re excited this year to open them up to a broader audience.

To participate, simply fill out an interest form. Based on your motivations and experiences, Brèches will form diverse groups to carry these exploratory conversations forward.

We look forward to connecting with you!

Psst: Interested but unsure whether you'll be able to take the time or cover potential costs? Fill out the form anyway and let us know what you need—we’ll do our best to make it work!
