Awakening with Saartje Vandendriessche – Feel Your Life Energy Flow Again!
Get an energetic reset — and be fully ready for HRtech inspiration.
We warmly invite you to a unique Awakening Session, where together we’ll reignite your inner fire. No fluff, no floaty stuff, just deep body awareness, vital life force, and pure, tangible energy.
We start slow. Gentle. With an energy meditation that draws you inward, away from the noise of the day.
Then, step by step, we build up the energy with a powerful blend of:
• Energetic exercises – to wake up your body
• Kundalini practices – to activate your life force
• Tapping techniques – to release blockages and open energy pathways
You’ll be ready to start your day with an open body, a radiant heart, and a fully charged inner battery.

Welcome by host Dorien Leyers
Dorien Leyers
Growing up surrounded by music and live entertainment, Dorien Leyers has always felt at ease both on stage and behind the scenes. Despite this creative environment, she pursued a strong academic path, studying culture and languages, which led her to the city archives of Valladolid, Spain, where she completed a degree in History in 2004.
The combination of these diverse worlds has shaped her into the professional she is today. Since 2006, she has worked as an event manager, organizing events for brands such as Nespresso, Club Med, Google, Pfizer, and NN Insurance Belgium. Over the past fifteen years, she has remained closely connected to life on stage, regularly hosting and moderating (inter)national events for clients including Volvo, Nike, EY, Orange, BNP Paribas Fortis, the European Commission, and many others—in Dutch, French, English, and Spanish.
