As teacher Joanna Macy points out, “the sorrow, grief, and rage you feel is a measure of your humanity… as your heart breaks open there will be room for the world to heal.” We live in a beautiful world that is also facing many challenges. We need inner tools to support us in order to engage with the beauty and challenges of our times.
Inner practices - such as those based on mindfulness and compassion - can support us to deeply experience the truth of interconnectedness, to manage challenging emotions and to be more present as our full selves in the world. These practices can also serve to inspire us to take action to protect this sacred world of which we are all a part.
Spiritual Ecology Netherlands is made up of a passionate group of people with many years of experience. The core team includes Maaike Boumans, Annick Nevejan and Flo Scialom. We are also happy to announce we have established the Spiritual Ecology Foundation (fall 2024), which makes it possible for us to apply for funds and receive donations to make our trainings and retreats possible for students and those with limited financial resources.
We would love to welcome you to join our events and to stay in touch by signing up to our mailing list below.
