Art Exhibition
“The Company We Keep” includes many people and other creatures with whom we spend our days: relatives, friends, strangers, and animals that contour our existence, often without our being fully conscious of their influence.
This exhibition features paintings and sculptures by Kristin Smith Cahn von Seelen and her son Francis. Their distinctive styles are united in the use of color, texture, shape, and composition to explore how we experience the connections—or their absence—between living beings. Join the artists at the vernissage during an apéro! Everyone is welcome!

Join us for our monthly Women’s Circle for connection and support. A women’s circle is a safe space for women to come together, to share, connect, support, and empower each other. It is a space where each woman is held, heard, and supported. Gathering in circle is an ancient tradition that helps us follow our internal wisdom to find what we need to heal and grow. It allows us to create common understanding amongst women, free of judgement. Each circle has a specific theme such as self-love, gratitude, intuition, resilience. We include elements of breathwork, meditation, movement, music and sometimes a small craft or other activity. It’s a place where you can switch off, relax and focus on yourself all while enjoying the connection and support of other women. Come as you are: Wear what you are comfortable in or what makes you feel beautiful. Cost: Free or Donation Based Registration/Cancellation Deadline: January 23, 2026
The women’s circle is offered on a free or donation-based model. If you are able, I welcome donations to help cover the basic costs of materials. Donations could be made via cash or Twint. For more information, contact Chantal.
