Workshops for adults
Experience the silence.
In our daily life we rarely find time and space for silence. But when this small moment of silence then arises, we experience the wonderfull effect. Many people indicate that they enjoy this moment of silence and relax. And afterwards we realise we lost the silence: pressure at work, you have to be alert to organize your household, noisy kids, many worries ,.... It is seldom really quiet outside and inside.
In this workshop I want to create an island where you can come to silence once a week and feel what it's really like to be zo still. In group, it's easier for to take you to the silence than if you're at home on your own trying to meditate.
Silence has many layers. Silence takes you to what is present in the moment: sorrow, pain, joy, power, anxiety, satisfaction, ... These feelings are allowed to exist. And underneath these feelings is an endless sea of silence and peace. By increasing the silence in your life you will notice that the silence gets more color, depth and strength.
Specifically, we strat from movement and sound to come to silence. This way each one can discover what's you're prefferd way to silence. I would especially like to create an atmosphere where you can discover what suites you and what doesn't. The duration of the silent moments are kept viable. In between you can share your experiences with each other. No Spartan training but a loving place where you can safely come to your silence and can reflect on what comes up.
You don't need to have experience with meditation in order to take part. Only the desire to be more quiet, is sufficient.
I'd like to invite you on this road to the wonderful world of silence.
