About event
WEEKLY PRACTICE
This practice can be facilitated in Dutch or English, depending on the participants.
INTRO
We conclude the working week every week on Friday afternoon with a joint meditation practice. With a different teacher from our own team every week and varying forms of meditation. To learn to be together, in connection, with what is. You are welcome to join us sometime (with or without experience!), or join us every week.
WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO
The doors open fifteen minutes before the start. This way you can arrive at ease. We enter the room in silence and you can choose a place in the circle. The teacher opens the afternoon and invites everyone to introduce themselves. How are you feeling?
A short meditation follows to settle down and open your senses.
The teacher then explains his or her practice: what form is it, and what effect can you experience? This is followed by the joint practice.
We end with a short sharing in which we share experiences and insights.
Finally, you are welcome for a cup of tea in the Community Lounge.
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
Meditating in a group is usually experienced as easier than meditating on your own! We want to support your meditation practice with this weekly meditation moment. We will give you experiences with different forms of meditation and also provide you with some context and background information. We do this in the circle, in which we get to know each other and share experiences. In the anonymity and hustle and bustle of the modern world, we often miss a sense of belonging and connection; this weekly practice is an invitation to come together again and find space to Be.
FOR EVERYONE:
– who needs a weekly meditation practice
– who wants to experience different forms of meditation
– who wants to get acquainted with The Meditation Garden
– who is looking for connection with like-minded people
