All pieces of the puzzle have come together for a wonderful Weekend Retreat during Easter: support of the Dutch monastics from Plum Village and EIAB, a super-location in Apeldoorn, a professional cook who will arrange delicious meals for us with her mindful cook-team, and to conclude a very inspiring and appropriate theme 
Let the Spring come in, we are ready for it!
This weekend we will dive into the basic practices of mindfulness in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, in a playful Wake-Up manner.
Do you think that you already know it all? Or you feel still very new? In both cases you should definitely come!
This weekend’s program is especially designed for experienced practitioners and new-practitioners. Even more: we are especially looking for a mix of both 
Together we will practice with our ‘Beginners Mind’.
Letting go of your ideas of the practice, and simply experiencing the practice, as if you have never done it before
Both listening to the bell, and (learning to) invite the bell; both sharing during dharma-sharing, as well as (learning to) guide the dharma-sharing: by doing it together with a sense of curiosity and flexibility we create the opportunity to ‘sink more deeply’ into the practice.
We will see that a ‘Beginners Mind’ can be cultivated and practiced, whether you meditate since 10 years or since yesterday!
What can you expect more this weekend? ‘Wake Up’! What else?
Everyone is invited to arrive on Friday evening, between dinnertime (18:00) and noble silence (before 22:00). On Fridaynight we will have a pot-luck dinner for those who arrive at dinner time, and we will offer a total relaxation.
