The 'Wakker Nu Voor Altijd' initiative, a collaboration between Zout Speelt and the Grote Kerk Breda, aims to provide a modern equivalent to the traditional Sunday church service, offering moments of connection and reflection. The event features several distinct components, each curated to offer unique perspectives.

Reine Rek delves into philosophical insights on existence and the present moment. The musical contribution comes from singer-songwriter NYVE, whose soulful pop is influenced by bossa nova, soul, and jazz. Culinary artist Sin Carne offers vegan and vegetarian delights made with local, organic ingredients, and Letizia Rompelberg, artistic director of Zout Speelt, contributes with her work that challenges norms and uses real stories to create social impact. The overarching concept of 'Wakker' is rooted in the human need for inspiration and communal experience.
