Michèle Kelder (NL)

Michèle Kelder is an event organiser and deep-dive facilitator dedicated to breaking stigmas around mental health and addiction, encouraging raw, honest conversations, and bringing people together.

In 2022, she launched her first independent event, "How to Have a Successful Career in Music While Surviving the Nightlife: It’s Not All Sex, Drugs, and Beats."

How it started: two hours with five DJs and three wellness coaches in a church hall.
The vulnerable, open conversations and the feedback after, sparked the fire that has brought forth For Love and Health of House, an annual ADE programme featuring panel discussions, workshops, and community spaces. FLHH Sessions is in the making, a regular event bringing together music industry professionals to connect and create an even brighter future.

Michèle’s work is rooted in a simple truth: through connection we heal, grow, and thrive. Real change can happen when people come together and step out of the shadows. Driven by this belief, through her business Connect2Progress, she connects people from all walks of life to break taboos, share hard truths, and make real progress together.
