Fresh skincare workshop

What harmful chemicals hide in skin care products and what do these chemicals do to disrupt your hormones, your skin, and even your mood?

Janina from Ringana delivered this interesting and hands-on workshop where boys and girls came together to discover the secrets of healthy, glowing skin. Together we learnt what to watch out for in skincare products, (a free printable resource for you included below), how to build a simple and effective skincare routine, and why clean ingredients matter.

Ringana products were introduced by Janina, who guided everyone through the range while giving us the chance to test everything ourselves. The beautiful space at De Draai in Broek in Waterland created the perfect cozy setting, complete with bowls of water, mirrors, and lots of laughter and curiosity.

A clear favourite? The apricot kernel face scrub — everyone loved how fresh and smooth it made their skin feel!

What we especially love about Ringana is the purity of the ingredients and how the products are suitable for the whole family. We now use the cleanser, scrub, toner, and moisturiser together at home, making skincare something we actually talk about and enjoy as a family. Because of the purity of the ingredients a very small amount is used. And the tooth oil has become a surprising household favourite too.

Another empowering workshop hosted by Samen Futureproof!

Hormone workshop

What happens when men and women learn and talk openly about hormones, connection, and wellbeing? A genuinely important conversation. Another impactful workshop facilitated by Samen Futureproof.

Alex delivered an enlightening and refreshingly practical talk on on what is actually happening during perimenopause — physically, mentally, and emotionally. The session also explored how we can learn to tune in, adapt accordingly, and enjoy life with the energy needed through this transition.

What made the evening especially powerful was the audience itself. Men and women showed up with curiosity, openness, and questions, leading to a fascinating Q&A that quickly expanded beyond health into leadership and workplace culture.

One of the strongest themes to emerge was the growing number of male leaders asking: “How can we better support the women on our teams to thrive, perform at their potential, and genuinely enjoy their work and lives?" Solutions are as practical as zooming out from the male oriented 24 hour cycle allowing women to decide when the optimal time for planning, ideating, people facing, travel, and flow work is.

The conversation didn’t stop when the workshop ended. It continued afterwards through further discussion, research, and shared insights — exactly the kind of ripple effect these conversations are meant to create.

We’re sharing some valuable resources from the evening with you for free here.

This is our vision at Samen Futureproof: a room full of people informed, empowered, and better equipped to support themselves, each other, and the next generation!
