Amsterdam Weekend Workshop

A group for waking up

2 – 4 March, 2018

We would like to invite you to a weekend gathering in Amsterdam 2 – 4 March 2018. This weekend is a new addition in our calendar and we are delighted for the opportunity to organise another sharing event.

THE WORKSHOP

The workshop is an opportunity to take time out of daily life, slow down and to use the group experience to see yourself and your life from a very different perspective. The weekend is about being present with each other in every moment.

We sit together exploring our thoughts and feelings. We share life’s difficulties, insights and achievements. As always the group is about whatever arises. Nothing is forced and it flows naturally through the weekend. You can be yourself without pretence. You can laugh or cry without feeling embarrassed. The process deepens each day, revealing more and feeling more connected.

The session times are as follows. It is not possible to drop in to sessions:

Friday 7:30pm – 10:30pm
Saturday 11am – 2pm & 5pm – 8pm
Sunday 11am – 2pm

The sessions are facilitated by members who have been participating in these groups for over a decade. We hold a safe space, caring for each other while at the same time daring to look into the uncomfortable parts of ourselves in order to shed new light on patterns of behaviour that keep us stuck in our lives.

All sessions will be in English. There will be plenty of bilingual participants to help with translation for those not fully fluent.

COSTS

€80

Group costs are payable on booking your space.

Apart from the group sessions, we deliberately have no other programme. There is plenty of time to spend as you wish – perhaps exploring the local neighbourhood, enjoying the cafes and restaurants, resting, meditating, practising yoga, relaxing in the spring sun in the nearby park, hanging out together or being on your own if you feel like it. Throughout the weekend we continue our intention to be aware, paying attention to how we speak and interact with each other … and magically our group becomes more intimate.

Our group will be open to newcomers and long-time sharers of all ages and backgrounds. You need not be familiar with any spiritual philosophies. All that is required is an open heart and an open mind to explore your life in each moment. We have a preference for abstaining from alcohol and recreational drug use during this weekend.

We look forward to creating an amazing, life-transforming and fun weekend together!
