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.
Sacred Sessions: Winter Edition 2025
The leaves have fallen. It’s time to slow down, huddle in, and nourish the parts of our lives that sustain us.
The Winter Edition of the Sacred Sessions offers six-sessions that fostering depth of connection. The first two sessions, as well as the last, feel into the season as a process necessary for the emergence of spring. The middle sessions form a three-part exploration of alive conversation, where listening is speaking and speaking is listening.
February 11th | Deep Listening
Even if it’s happened only once, we all know the profound feeling of being listened to deeply. In this session we’ll experiment with listening skills by attending to the space around us, to one another, and to ourselves.
Your host
Hosted by Madelaine Ley, a philosopher from TU Delft, each session combines a unique weaving of philosophy, art, science, contemplative practice, and collective reflection. Wonderfully, the Sacred Sessions is now a growing collective of people seeking deeper connection in the Delft area.
Bring warm clothes! We’re mostly in a warm room but like to experiment by doing practices in the main part of the church, which is quite cold in the winter. Doors open at 19:30h for tea and chitchat, event starts at 20h.
