Many of us meditate alone and reflect internally. But without community, it feels like something is missing.
The Sacred Sessions are an opportunity to explore our inner-world collectively. Leaving our phone at the door, we gather in the beautiful Oude Kerk for 75 minutes of contemplative practices, spiritual teachings (mixed with philosophy and poetry), and group reflection.
The sessions are inspired by the seasons. Summer invites us to revel in abundance. Fall calls for discernment and mourning. Winter is a time for listening and rest. Spring beckons us towards hope and renewal.
Fall 2024 Edition
November 5th, 20h. Dancing in Time
The ticking-clock makes it seem like time is linear and the past is gone. But, as William Faulkner wrote, “The past is not dead. The past isn’t even the past.” In this session we’ll feel out the textures of time and the aliveness of our memories.
