Samenkomsten
Gatherings
At selected moments during the year, Sven and Nina create their ‘samenkomsten’ (translated from Dutch it means: 'to come together').
Throughout the year they organise one- or multi-day gatherings and retreats in which they wish to pay tribute to the gift of life in an accessible but honorable way. The powerful medicines of silence and music, meditation, and prayer form the core from which the celebrations are organised. These intimate gatherings vary seasonally and are all created based on where inspiration guides them.
If you are curious about other people's experiences, you can read several testimonials here.
The events are an invitation for remembrance, each gathering as an opportunity to consciously continue our greater service in the world.
