Véronique Orens always aspired to become a doctor or a surgeon, driven by an innate desire to help people. However, when her father, who was deeply entrenched in the construction business, encouraged her to pursue architecture, she discovered a hidden talent and passion for the discipline. Despite this new path, Véronique never abandoned her quest to find ways to improve people’s lives.
In 2004, when her father began struggling with his health, Véronique’s determination to help others deepened. She embarked on a journey to explore non-conventional methods of enhancing the healing process through architecture. Her exploration led her to embrace principles such as feng shui, biophilia, biomimicry, the concept of healthy buildings by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, WELL Certification, Human Design, and more.
What Véronique discovered was that there was no single, magical solution to creating a building that truly supports its occupants. Instead, it requires a thoughtful integration of countless features and small details, each carefully considered during the design process to ensure the building works with its users rather than against them.
As her reputation grew, Véronique became known as the holistic architect – the one who dared to think differently. This reputation attracted innovators and visionaries who sought her out to present their new ideas and inventions, each potentially valuable in her mission to create buildings that enhance the well-being of their occupants. These collaborations further expanded her knowledge and expertise, solidifying her role as a pioneer in the field of health-centric architecture.
Today, Véronique Orens continues to push the boundaries of traditional architecture, dedicated to designing spaces that not only serve functional purposes but also actively contribute to the health and well-being of those who live and work within them. Her work is a testament to the belief that architecture can, and should, be a force for good – supporting and nurturing the human spirit in profound ways.
Because for Véronique, architecture isn’t just about building structures; it’s about building lives.
✨ Who is Véronique Orens? ✨ – My story.
Some people spend their lives trying to fit in. Others are born knowing they never will. I was the latter.
I tried. I really did. I spent years playing by the rules, running the rat race, shaping myself to fit into a world that never truly felt like mine. But deep down, I knew something was missing. Something vital.
And then, one night in 02019, at exactly 3:45 AM on a Sunday morning, YUGENING came to me as my inner child chanted its name :
YUGENING
YUGENING
YUGENINGENINGENING… until I finally understood.
The first 2 years, I threw myself into it with passion. But then life happened – the loss of loved ones, covid, lots of self-doubt, and being ridiculed (a lot!) pushed me to rock bottom.
Outwardly, I appeared strong, but inside, I was 100% broken. And so, I nearly gave up.
March 02024 everything changed. Since then, I’ve gone all-in, and this time, I won’t stop. Spaceship Earth is in trouble, and my mission is clear : To fight the Nothing. Using imagination.
And for a moment, I almost let The Nothing win.
Before Aug 02026, I’ll accelerate YUGENING to lightspeed crossing 1 gigaparsec at a time. But I can’t do it alone. I need YUNATICS to join me on this infinite quest; The NeverEnding Story. 💫
As a Human Design Reflector I figured out how to connect the dots looking FORWARD (sorry Steve). Therefore I ask all YUNATICS : Unite and Ask The Next Question.
MY AVATAR : THE MOONCHILD
I was 8 when I first saw her – the Moonchild, summoning all of Fantasia to fight *The Nothing* in the phantasy movie from 1984 : The Neverending Story.
She was graceful. Powerful. Wise. A child and a leader all at once. And in that moment, I knew: ‘That’s who I want to be.’
Fast-forward to today, and I finally understand my mission:
To gather those who refuse to let imagination die.
To fight back against the gray, soulless, uninspired world that The Nothing is consuming.
Because *The Nothing* isn’t just a fantasy. It’s real.
It’s in burnout culture that drains people’s souls.
It’s in corporate sameness that strips away creativity.
It’s in a world where adults forget to dream, to play, to imagine.
And it’s winning. Unless we stop it.
That’s where YUGENING comes in.
YUGENING: The NeverEnding Quest
YUGENING isn’t just about architecture. It’s about energy. Vibration. Awakening. It started with design, but it became something bigger: a movement, a spaceship, a rebellion against The Nothing.
And what do we use to fight it?
Not weapons. We fight with imagination.
Because those who dream, who create and tell stories, the ones who stay curious – they are the only ones who can stop The Nothing.
And therefore we embrace the madness of Hitchhiker’s Guide, the magic of the Neverending Story. Or the wisdom of Yoda, the strength of Chewbacca, the imagination of Mickey Mouse.
Together, we are the YUNIVERSE : a world full of YUGI’S, TRIBBLEMAKERS AND YUNATICS. The nerds, the visionaries, the misfits who refuse to let the world go dull.
And if you’ve read this far, chances are YU are one of us.
THE FIGHT AGAINST THE NOTHING: NEVER ALONE
This isn’t a solo mission.
Just like the Moonchild wasn’t alone when Fantasia was crumbling, I am surrounded by the right people – the dreamers, the storytellers, the believers who refuse to let The Nothing consume our world.
I fight alongside visionaries who see beyond the mundane.
I stand with those who dare to imagine a different reality.
I build with the ones who know that playfulness, wonder and creativity are the greatest forces in the universe.
Look at them. This is my army.
Not warriors with swords, but minds full of infinite possibilities.
Not soldiers of destruction, but creators of worlds.
The Nothing only wins if we let it. And we won’t.
“When The Nothing started consuming Fantasia, the entire realm gathered around the Moonchild – not just to witness, but to fight for something greater. YUGENING is no different. We are surrounded by those who believe in the impossible, the dreamers who refuse to let imagination fade. This is not a battle fought alone. This is a movement.”
DREAMS COME TRUE
YUGENING is my dream coming true. It took me 47 years to realize it. To break free from the Matrix. But I was scared, terrified as hell.
But then, one day in Antwerp an Indian guru (a complete stranger) patted me on my shoulder. He looked me straight in the eye and said:
“Hold on to your mission. You will succeed. This dream of yours – it will change the world. You will work on it until you are 93.”
Then he smiled and added, “And then you die.”
Well, challenge accepted.
But here’s the thing – this dream was never meant for me alone.
YUGENING is the spaceship I built, so YU can use it to launch your own dream.
It’s designed to lift you up, to strengthen you, to remind you that you are powerful enough to create your own reality. To make sure you are never too afraid, too small, or too lost to take that leap.This is more than a dream. It’s a vessel. But this vessel wasn’t just made to fly. It was made to take you beyond where no one has gone before.
So… Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Commencing countdown, engines on. Check ignition and may God’s love be with you.
YUGENING. 42. It always started with YU.
