Our private experiences are designed for groups, teams, and communities seeking a deeper, more visceral form of connection.
Through breathwork, (live) music, and shared energy, Open Up creates powerful moments of trust, insight and transformation.

Each experience is tailored, from corporate activations, conferences, retreats, to private celebrations - helping teams and friends connect, release, and reset together.
In an Open Up session, people are guided by Katrien Franken, and will learn to attune with what is possible by shifting from reacting to responding; stress to calm; disconnect to connection.
Cutting Edge Design
Open Up's design and methodologies are rooted in breath work practices, culture, moderns science and consciousness research. We challenge and support humans to engage in a mutual learning environment, moving from meaningful insight to embodied action.
Long-Term Visioning
Change happens in an instant, but real transformation is a process. It takes time, commitment and a different kind of work, one that goes beyond quick fixes to create lasting impact. Open Up is inspired to work alongside teams and organisations who recognise this, and who understand that meaningful change begins with openness, curiosity and a willingness to do things differently.
Exclusive Experiences
We' will co-create with you in close partnership. This often means looking from different perspectives, hearing different ideas, and seeing the answer as a journey of discovery rather than a destination.
Expert Facilitation
Your leaders are guided by Katrien, founder of Open Up. She a skilled and experienced guide. She find great value in working with sense-making, embodiment, and complex facilitation, as essential tools to enabling systems to learn and evolve through their decisions and actions.
