Fresh Roots Rule the Planet!
Nu we alweer langzaam de herfst krijgen is het tijd om te reflecteren op wat we los mogen laten, en te bezinnen op onze basis - de roots van onze beoefening - en onszelf af te vragen; waar ligt mijn aandacht nu werkelijk? Hoe houd ik mijn roots sterk en fris? Want het cadeau om jezelf in je kracht te voelen staan is het waard om te ontvangen, nietwaar?
In deze nieuwsbrief tref je inspiratie aan om dit gevoel en de beleving te versterken, inclusief uitnodigingen voor retraites en evenementen die je daarbij een knusse herfstige boost zullen geven, met de juiste voeding. :)
Natuurlijk wensen we je ook weer veel leesplezier toe!

September 28th we will create multiple events around the premiere of this beautiful film:
Walk with Me
"With unprecedented access, ‘Walk With Me’ takes us deep inside the world-famous monastery of Zen Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh, and captures the life of a monastic community who have given up all their possessions for one common purpose – to practice the art of mindfulness.
Filmed over three years, this visceral film is a meditation on a community determined to develop a deep sense of presence, not just for themselves but for all those they love.
As the seasons come and go, the monastics’ inner journey is amplified by insights from Thich Nhat Hanh’s early journals, narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch."
Events are scheduled for Nijmegen, Amsterdam, Den Haag, Groningen, Rotterdam & Tilburg :) And of course, if you want to create one, please feel free! Let us know and we will publish it on our FB page for you. As for all of our super inspiring Events: details are still under construction, so let's just say for now that going to the movies together is way more fun than by yourself, right :D?! See you there!
WANT TO GO FOR FREE?? :)
THEN DEFINITELY DO CHECK OUT THE REST OF THIS NEWSLETTER ;)

Wake Up begeleiders Meetup
Wist je dat... wij in Nederland de hoogste Wake Up sangha dichtheid hebben van de hele wereld? Maar liefst 11 actieve Wake Up meditatiegroepen in ons kleine koude kikkerlandje!!
Dat stroomt! Vele jonge wakkere enthousiastelingen zetten zich van harte in om dit mogelijk te maken.
Jij ook? Hoog tijd dan om de neuzen eens bij elkaar te steken en elkaar te ontmoeten. Want we hoeven dat niet alleen te doen natuurlijk ♥
Daarom deze dag: om samen plezier te maken, te relaxen, elkaar te inspireren, vragen of problemen uit je sangha te bespreken en creatieve manieren om te boefenen uit te wisselen. Bijvoorbeeld. Want uiteindelijk gaat de dag vooral om weer even opladen, delen, je gesteund voelen door andere mensen die zich ook inzetten voor hun sangha's en met frisse energie weer naar huis gaan!
Wie? Mensen die regelmatig begeleiden in hun sangha (of hier net mee zijn begonnen)
Wanneer? Zaterdag 11 november
Waar? Bevestiging van de lokatie volgt nog, dus dit blijft nog even een verrassing ;)
Geen Facebook, of gewoon vragen? Mail naar info@wkup.nl

Redacteuren gezocht
- Werken voor een goed doel?
De redactie-sangha van de Klankschaal, het Nederlandse magazine van Thich Nhat Hanh, zoekt nieuwe redacteuren! Ben jij onze nieuwe kracht? Vind jij het leuk om te schrijven of te redigeren? Of vind je het leuk om mee te denken en te helpen met de samenstelling van een magazine? Dan zoeken we jou!
Ze vergaderen drie keer per jaar. Per editie kun je zelf aangeven wat je leuk vindt om te doen: interviewen, schrijven, redigeren of alleen maar meedenken... denk daarbij aan leuk werk dat er toe doet, in een kleine groep van enthousiaste vrijwilligers die allemaal op hun eigen manier de leer van TNH willen ondersteunen. Je krijgt een vergoeding van je gereden kilometers.
Lijkt het je wat, of heb je misschien vragen over de vrijwillige job? Stuur dan een mailtje naar klankschaal@aandacht.net. Ervaring met redactiewerk is niet nodig.

Do I have Anger?
Yes of course! And this is how I care for it.
One of the (many) things the practice of mindfulness helped me with, is taking care of strong emotions. This can be anger, but also fear, infatuation, despair, and so on. When I read the article 'Loosening the Knots of Anger Through Mindfulness Practice' in Lion's Roar, I was inspired to share it with you.
"Mindfulness does not fight anger or despair. Mindfulness is there in order to recognize. To be mindful of something is to recognize that something is there in the present moment. Mindfulness is the capacity of being aware of what is going on in the present moment. This is not an act of suppression or of fighting. Once we recognize our anger, we embrace it with a lot of awareness, a lot of tenderness.
When it is cold in your room, you turn on the heater, and the heater begins to send out waves of hot air. The cold air doesn’t have to leave the room for the room to become warm. The cold air is embraced by the hot air and becomes warm—there’s no fighting at all between them." Full article here.
