In an age of artificial intelligence, polarization, and information overload, Heleen de Mooij-Lubbers explores what truly makes us human. An inspiring Moonshot about consciousness, connection, and the courage to check yourself, others, and the world in a new light.

The future calls not only for new ideas, technology, and systems, but above all for a new consciousness. In *Are We Still Human?*, Heleen de Mooij-Lubbers takes you on a journey to discover the power of seeing things differently, truly listening, and uncovering what is possible within yourself and others. Because social transformation begins with personal change.

This Moon Speech aligns seamlessly with the transformative philosophy of Nieuwe Maan. While Nieuwe Maan invites us to dream big about a different future, this lecture shows that that future begins with looking at yourself, others, and the world around you in a new way.

The message “Look beyond the images, listen beyond the words” is particularly relevant in an age when artificial intelligence, information overload, and polarization increasingly challenge us to distinguish between intelligence and wisdom. It’s not just about IQ, but also EQ, intuition, and human sensitivity.

The “ Nieuwe Maan ” festival embodies imagination, knowledge, forward thinking, and human transformation. “Are We Still Human?” adds an essential perspective to this: inner transformation as the starting point for change.

About Heleen de Mooij-Lubbers
Heleen de Mooij-Lubbers invites you to look beyond your initial judgment—toward yourself, toward others, and toward the possibilities you haven’t yet seen. As a coach, trainer, speaker, and author of *Ik zie jou* (*I Check You*), she has past event guiding people for over twenty years in discovering and harnessing their own strength.

Her message comes from lived experience. While she preferred to stay in the background as a child, she gradually discovered that you are so much more than you think. Expectations and beliefs don’t have to define who you are or what you can contribute. Remaining a student of life and looking from the source where everything already exists form the foundation of her work.

Through her personal story, she invites us to remain curious, ask questions, and check the world anew with the wonder of a child. As a trainer, speaker, and ambassador for the Museum of Humanity, she also conveys this message: every human being is a masterpiece. By continuing to check that in yourself and in others, you create space for growth, connection, and community.
