In March it all begins with Ash Wednesday – also Zero Discrimination Day, then comes the Holi feast on the 13th, St Patricks’ Day on the 17th and Spring begins in the Northern hemisphere on the 20th of March. Are you beginning to feel festive and spring-like already?
Leave winter behind, step into this new season, feel the wind of change, and start thinking about taking up new and interesting things to do. This is a spring to sing, to start a truly life changing dialogue with others, let your creativity burst out and dance or draw and celebrate life!
You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.
- Pablo Neruda

Wetenschap en religie
Date: 13 & 27/3/2017 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.
