Our very first Circle unfolded on a hidden island in Vinkeveen, only reachable by boat.

That private weekend became our founding moment, a small group coming together around barbeques on the shore, swims in the lake, stand-up paddling, and long conversations by the hot tub as evening fell.

It was here that the Circle first took shape: not just through boats, but through people, atmosphere, and the sense of belonging by the water.
