finding abundance in all seasons

The seasons invites us to realize that abundance can be found and felt at all times of the year in different ways. When we find the courage to honour the gifts given by the living world, the outcome is not only material, but spiritual.
In 2026 we offer each season a Spiritual & Deep Ecology practice day to align us with the rhythms and cycles of nature, the seasons, the Earth, our bodies, the sun and the moon. Dates: 10 Jan., 25 April, 20 June, 24 October 2026 in Wageningen 

Winter practice day in Wageningen 10th of January'26

alchemy in conversation

Are you curious about the magic that can emerge when we meet each other with openness and radical presence?

In a world where conversations often skim the surface, Alchemy in Conversation invites you into a different kind of meeting: one rooted in embodied awareness and the extraordinary potential of human connection. Over six weeks, we’ll delve into how presence transforms relationships. We’ll explore how listening inwards and then outwards leads to more satisfying experiences of connection, and how listening beyond our usual boundaries opens doors to mutual flourishing.

Through guided practices, creative exercises, gentle inquiry and relational exploration, each session builds the capacity to stay grounded, courageous and compassionate, even within inevitable messiness or conflict. We’ll learn how to communicate feelings and recognise needs more clearly. We'll learn to take care of fear so that it is less likely to close down connection. We’ll practice listening with our whole being in order to meet challenges consciously and we’ll compassionately witness how the way we are, has emerged within a system and is not just personal.

This course is for those with an existing mindfulness practice, longing for deeper authenticity in their relationships—personal, professional, or communal—and for those curious about the magic that emerges when we meet each other with openness and radical presence.

​ Annick,  Fay,  Kristine and  Ratnadevi are all senior tutors of mindfulness and compassion-based approaches. This course also draws on their expertise in Non-Violent Communication, Systems Centered Training, The Work that Reconnects and Vajrayana Buddhism.
