Last Tuesday, we gathered at the Pulitzer Amsterdam for Rooted to Rise — an evening rooted in reflection, intention, and the quiet strength that comes from pausing at the end of a long year. Through grounding meditation, honest conversation, and shared vision-setting, we explored what it means to rise with clarity — anchored in who we are and who we’re becoming.

Here’s to closing the year with intention, and stepping into the next one grounded, supported, and ready to grow. 🤎

Meet Agnesa Ruse ( ) — a cake artist who turns food into feeling, and ingredients into sculpture. In her hands, baking becomes a medium for storytelling: minimal, textural, ever-evolving.

Self-taught and deeply intuitive, Agnesa’s journey back to creativity began when she rediscovered art through food — realising that what we eat can be more than nourishment. It can be an experience, a moment, a work of art you get to taste.

Her creations shift with the seasons, the people she cooks for, and the inspirations that move her — from retreat kitchens to intimate private dinners. Nothing fixed, nothing forced. Just a fluid, living expression of curiosity, emotion, and imagination.

For Agnesa, food is connection — a way to bring people closer to beauty, to presence, and to each other. ✨

Join us on Monday, 2 December, from 18:30-21:30 at the Pulitzer Amsterdam ( .amsterdam ) for our final gathering of the year — Rooted to Rise.

This evening invites us to reflect on everything we’ve built and everything you’re becoming — a moment to pause, realign, and step into the new year grounded in your own strength. ✨

We’ll explore what it means to rise with intention, to lead with depth, and to stay rooted even as we grow. Through shared reflections, thoughtful conversations, and moments of connection, we’ll close the year with clarity and celebration — a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come, and where we’re headed next.

For this special gala-inspired edition, we invite TEN members to bring a plus one. Bring your presence, your reflections, and your light — and let this evening inspire your next chapter.

Last Friday, we gathered at Maison ELLE Amsterdam for an evening shaped by presence, authenticity, and honest reflection. Through grounding meditation, thoughtful conversation, and shared stories, we explored what it means to release performance and return to our whole selves.

Here’s to continuing this journey of presence, connection, and deeper self-trust. 🤎

A little founder’s note from me to you

11/11/2025

Meet Chloé Leenheer ( ), photographer, creative strategist, and actor.

Her work moves in the spaces where emotion becomes image and stories take shape through feeling rather than script.

Chloé works from intuition. She translates atmosphere, energy and lived experience into work that resonates. Her background in acting and dance makes her naturally able to connect with people, she reads movement, body language and emotion before words.

Because of that, what she creates doesn’t feel posed, but alive. Photography and creative direction followed naturally, always with storytelling at the center.

Becoming a mother softened her gaze. It brought vulnerability and a deeper sense of presence into her work. Whether she’s behind the camera or in front of it, she creates imagery that feels intimate, honest and quietly powerful.

For Chloé, creativity is simply where she feels most herself - curious, open, honest, and always in motion.

Meet Oumaima Choua ( ), a contemporary realism artist whose work captures the intersection of emotion, identity, and storytelling. Through hyper-realistic charcoal portraits, she transforms raw feeling into visual poetry, inviting viewers to see themselves reflected in each piece.

Her creative journey began as a form of expression during childhood - a way to communicate when words fell short. What started as quiet introspection evolved into a mastery of realism, where every line and shadow carries both precision and soul.

Oumaima’s art is an exploration of vulnerability and strength, using detail and depth to tell human stories that resonate far beyond the canvas. For her, creation is connection - a reminder that honesty, in all its forms, is the truest art. ✨

Earlier this week, we gathered at Casa María Cacao for Presence - Día de Mu***os Edition 🤎

An intimate day of reflection, conversation, and connection - honouring life, loss, and renewal through shared stories and tradition. Guided by and , we explored the rich history and symbolism of Día de Mu***os, and the beauty of remembering with intention.

Here’s to honouring presence in all its forms - the moments we share, the memories we keep, and the quiet spaces in between. ✨

Join us on Friday, 14 November at Maison ELLE Amsterdam, in partnership with Squarespace, for a special Literary Club exploring Presence over Performance. ✨

In a world that often values doing over being, this evening invites you to embrace presence - showing up authentically without the need to prove. In line with Squarespace’s mission to empower creativity and authenticity, we’ll reflect on how presence shapes the way we lead, connect, and grow.

We’ll be joined by our hosts Awura Abena ( ) and Lente Michels ( ), along with two inspiring speakers: Nathalie Aliça Streng ( ), entrepreneur and founder of Renessence and The Cold Pressed Juicery, and Louise Langedijk ( ), medical doctor and founder of The Core We Care. Both will open up about their personal journeys, share how presence has helped them navigate challenges, and reflect on the strength and growth that comes from embracing their authentic selves.

Together, we’ll gather for thoughtful conversation, literary reflection, and shared insight - creating space to connect deeply and rediscover the power of simply being.

Join us in one of these timeslots:

• 17:30-18.00 PM Walk in | 18.00-19.30 PM Event
• 19.40-19.50 PM Walk in | 19:50 - 21:25 PM Event

We can’t wait to welcome you. 🤎

Meet Mirian ( ), a floral studio owner who transforms nature into living art. More than a traditional flower shop, Casa Ventura & Ventura is a fusion of botanical design and handcrafted vessels, each piece carrying the imprint of women artisans from the mountain villages of Chiapas.

Rooted in Nayarit, Mexico, Casa Ventura & Ventura brings together heritage, contemporary vision, and artisanal craft. Every arrangement becomes a story of collaboration - where nature, culture, and design meet in harmony.

For Mirian, floristry is connection - a way to celebrate beauty, honor tradition, and create spaces that feel alive with meaning. it. ✨
