“Many people suffer deeply and they do not know they suffer. They try to cover up the suffering by being busy. Many people get sick today because they get alienated from Mother Earth.

The practice of mindfulness helps us to touch Mother Earth inside of the body and this practice can help heal people. So the healing of the people should go together with the healing of the Earth and this is the insight and it is possible for anyone to practice." - Thich Nhat Hanh

"We have constructed a system we can't control. It imposes itself on us, and we become its slaves and victims. We have created a society in which the rich become richer and the poor become poorer, and in which we are so caught up in our own immediate problems that we cannot afford to be aware of what is going on with the rest of the human family or our planet Earth. In my mind I see a group of chickens in a cage disputing over a few seeds of grain, unaware that in a few hours they will all be killed." - Thich Nhat Hanh

“May we find ways to live more simply in order to have more time and energy to change the system of injustice that exists in the world.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

This Saturday, Sarah John will be hosting a day of interbeing discovery. I don't know what it's going to be (nobody does), but I do know that Sarah is an excellent facilitator.

If you're in Antwerp on Saturday, and you're interested in relational being and the in-between, come join!

Here's the description:

A flock of birds is not a collection of individuals. It is a living field.

We are not self-contained. We come into being in relation. What we can perceive, feel and create depends profoundly on who we are with and how present we are to each other.

We know this. And yet we live in a time that tells us the individual is the unit of everything. We have become very good at working alone, thinking alone, creating alone. The challenges that matter most cannot be met this way. They need a different kind of intelligence. One that lives between us, not just inside us.

Murmurations is a day to practise that intelligence. Together we will move, speak, reflect and play - experimenting with what becomes possible when we let go of the limit of individuality and start genuinely moving together. We will work with physical practices, such as flocking and one brain. The day is informed by thinkers and doers from philosophy, mysticism and science who have explored the nature of the space between us and what potentials it holds.

This is a laboratory. What emerges will be shaped by where we are willing to go together.

Makers, teachers, thinkers, creators, doers & dreamers all welcome.
No previous experience needed. Just curiosity.

Saturday 20 June · 10:00–18:00 · De Veerman: Marialei 25, Berchem, Antwerp

PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN: €60 / €70 / €90
