Happy New Year!

31/12/2025

For many people, the last day of the year is a moment to look back on the passing year. What happened, what did I do, did I reach the goals I had set last New Years Day? And so on…

But what if this would not only be the last day of the year but also the last day of your life?! Just imagine this for a moment…

Because let’s be real, we never know when this day will come? For both practical reasons as well as a comforting feeling we like to postpone thinking about this moment. But really, today could just as well be our last day, and you know this too!

Those who seriously live a spiritual life can embrace this, and this may surprise you but truly embracing it brings them a deep quality within this daily living.

Therefor, just as a gift to yourself, this last day of the year, contemplate the possibility, “this could be the last day of my life…”And allow things to happen.... thoughts may come up, feelings may flow…don’t grasp anything, not your thoughts and not your feelings, and let ideas pass by as well….just allow this reflection to do what it can do for you and embrace whatever comes….

If this somehow is difficult for you or if it makes you curious, it may also give you a sense of ‘I want more of this’ than join us during the event Essence of Meditation….https://buff.ly/nC7Lwes

Meditation is the way to connect with the part in us that was never born and that will never die.
Just image yourself and ask this question deeper within you
"Where did these loved ones go after they died? Are they really that far away?”

Those for whom meditation has become part of daily life questions about death are actually not that strange, neither are the answers far away. When After one is able to embrace death as being part of living, contemplating such questions often bring a warmth, a sense of closeness and intimacy. A remembrance of ‘home’.
Many think meditation is a tool for relaxation, to relieve stress. And of course this is what it does as well. But rather more importantly it is a tool to reconnect with our deepest essence, with what we are beyond ourselves...

Someone posted a beautiful question: “Do you think those you knew who died are in another place then you, right now? ”He referred to a deceased loved one. However I sensed he was not referring to someone who stayed in this world as ghost or entity like some do. Rather in a sense he referred to a knowing or a sensing...Nobody ever dies, leaves or is far away...

"Thank you very much! I really needed this, and you have taught me a lot once again. It was important to me". Participant of Meaningful Living

Despite its structured programme, each course develops a character of its own. Last month, we had a small group of five participants, with whom we ventured into largely unfamiliar territory.

The differences in experience were clearly felt, ranging from someone with deep life and spiritual experience to another for whom everything was entirely new, with others in between. It was beautiful to see how these differences complemented one another.
Naturally, each participant faced their own challenges. For the person who had been exploring spirituality through Taoism and Zen Buddhism, the challenge was to remain open and not fall into the habitual comparison with what he had learned before, concluding, “I already know this.” Such an attitude can easily close a door rather than open one. Given how difficult it is to let go of one’s own ideas, there was deep respect for the way he navigated this challenge.

By contrast, for the participant to whom everything was new, openness came more easily. With nothing to measure against, there was simply an invitation to engage with the material, unburdened by preconceived ideas.

The process unfolded harmoniously, showing how people at different stages of life can enrich one another.

This course explores a particular perspective on life, using meditation, imagination and contemplation. A central challenge in this journey is the aspect of letting go of preconceived ideas and a strong identification with the self, in order to attune to something beyond - an unknowable reality that cannot be grasped by the mind....

Attuning in the first place involves a humility; a readiness to listen and discover. It also involves not imposing your programmes on everything. They are the obstacles that make you deaf and blind. Attuning is an all-in transformation: ultimately a transformation into Abbah.Yoginâm, "A Nâm selection from the Quran’, 2025

Join us in the next 5-day event Meaningful Living, which is all about attuning....
