Over dit evenement
Dear people,
You are very warmly invited to this Sunday gathering! The theme for this circle: Moving into Stillness. We take the time to slow down and find stillness together just like nature does right now.
What are we going to do?
We meditate, sing to open our hearts, listen to stories and connect with each other. We have potluck lunch together and afterwards there is an open space to contribute something you want to share with the group or just Be and participate.
(Leaving after the ceremonial part is possible)
Why this event?
This event is born out of a desire to meet up with a group of like-minded people on a more regular basis. A place to return to, to reconnect with yourself, with others, and with something greater than yourself.
Throughout history, humans have gathered around fires to share stories and forge communal bonds. People sang and danced around the fire, celebrating life together. Later, people gathered in churches and temples to pray, and connect as a community. Now, we want to reawaken this tradition of meaningful gatherings.
Our intentions for this series of gatherings are:
- To gather on a regular basis --> first every 1 or 2 months, later maybe every week
- To gather in an open and inclusive way --> not tied to any particular religion
- To slow down --> that's where real connection starts
- To co-create --> we shape the space together
- To experiment --> there's room to try out new things and make mistakes
- To give --> you can find out what you have to offer to this group, and to the world
- To connect --> meet new people, see familiar faces
- To create and play --> follow your fire
- To honour life --> rising above everyday concerns to connect with something greater
- To meet up with a larger group --> the more, the merrier
Co-creation
There's not one owner of the event. There are also no profits to be made. This event is about giving and about shaping the space collectively. By showing up, you already add your unique presence to the event. And that's enough. Having said that, maybe you feel a tingling sensation in your belly to add something extra. That's a great sign to follow!
To give you some inspiration: you can, for example, add something to the program, to the decoration, some delicious snacks or drinks, you can add art, music or anything else that feels right for you and you would like to contribute. Imagine it in your head and feel the creative enthusiasm grow ;). Don't want to do it alone? Reach out to other participants or the organizing team!
