A new season, a new Newsletter! This is the time of Autumn (called after the falling leaves) or Fall…
In the Dutch language Autumn is called Herfst… which – as you can still hear in that word - has to do with Harvest. So to celebrate this harvest season you are invited to join the Harvest of our very own Spectrum-apple-tree in the orchard across the river on Saturday the 7th (see below).
And as the weather gets colder and the daylight shorter we aim at keeping our inner lights blazing…. with meditation on Tuesday, Taizé, singing and inspiring discussions and more… Enjoy!
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
- Albert Camus

Wetenschap en religie
Date: 9/10/2017 Time: 6:00 PM - 9:30 PM Location: Building with the clock - Office SPC
Wetenschap naast religie. Zijn het twee aparte werelden? Gaan evolutie en schepping samen? Wat betekent de tekst in Johannes 10 ‘Gij zijt goden?’ Gaat de robot het overnemen van de mens? Is de snaartheorie religie? En het allerbelangrijkste: wat betekenen de antwoorden op deze vragen voor de manier waarop jij zelf je leven leidt? Meld je aan bij Bram van Driel of Didi de Mildt.
Peace for your mind in the middle of your day: come to Orion building to sit in meditation with a small group. Recharge your energy and resume your day of studies with new focus and enthousiasm.
Feel free to walk in and try!
Date: 18/10/2017 Time: 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM Location: Building with the Clock – Office SP&C Address: Generaal Foulkesweg 37
