Community Building Day With David Viafora

Over dit evenement

Dear friend,

Wake Up Amsterdam is happy to host a special Order of Interbeing guest, David Viafora. He recently published a book on community building, "Thriving Together: Nine Principles for Cocreating True Community." Friends from all Sangha's all welcome! You don't have to be a Wake Up practitioner to join.

Sister True Dedication from Lower Hamlet wrote in the foreword: “This book reminds us that while living in community is messy, it is also profound. David shows us that when we live with intention, compassion, and the insight of interbeing, we can touch something much larger than ourselves. In these pages, you will not only find practical guidance but also the possibility of transformation–for yourself, your community, and the world.”

David has been visiting and presenting about Sangha building to Sanghas in the Plum Village tradition around North America and Europe, which has been an incredible learning experience for him and the communities he’s been meeting.

David will invite members to share about their own community experiences and questions, facilitating an interactive dialogue so that our time together will be as helpful and relatable to people's interests and needs. He will also share stories and lessons on Sangha building, in which individual or collective challenges and difficulties can lead to community strength, joy, and compassionate connections. In "Thriving Together" David says, “In true community, we don’t have to face the difficulties of the world on our own. What we can embrace and heal as a community is far greater and more fulfilling than what we could ever achieve alone.”

We would love to see you on our mindfulness day at the Sangha Space of Wake Up Amsterdam! This will be a beautiful moment to live deeply in the present moment and savor the wonders of life. We will walk, share and eat together.

Please don't forget to bring your own lunch! Sharing with others is of course always welcome!
