On Tuesday, August 26, Sven is organising ‘De Waakvlam’ in collaboration with Regenerate Delft. ‘De Waakvlam’ is an initiative in which we come together, in a circle, as humans, for humans. Timeless in nature and perhaps more urgent than ever. In a time when so much is going on, we seek hope and connection.
“ Ground yourself,
strip yourself down,
To blind loving silence.
Stay there, until you see
You are gazing at the Light
With its own ageless eyes”
— Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī
We come together in a circle, around one burning candle, symbolising The One Light, The One Love, The One Humanity, The One Earth (or however you like to call this underlying connection). Opening with an inspiring poem/prayer, a guided meditation and from there we sit in silence around the candle for an hour. Then sharing a short concluding meditation before people go their own way. Without going into the words, without preaching, together we lovingly make ourselves present, in silence, for the many places where there is so much unrest and dissatisfaction.
This evening will take place at the Regenerate Station in Delft.
