Wake Up Netherlands: a fresh start
Scroll down for English

Lieve Sangha,
Lieve broeders en zusters, lieve vrienden,

Een gelukkig nieuwjaar vol vreugde, mindfulness en compassie!

Een nieuw jaar, een nieuw begin. En tegelijkertijd afsluiting en voortzetting. Zo ook voor Wake Up Nederland! 

Anneke en Verena gaven in de vorige nieuwsbrief aan te willen stoppen en vroegen of er mensen waren die het stokje wilde overnemen. Goed nieuws: Hein, Marlie en Jasper waren meteen enthousiast en zullen dan ook de komende tijd met plezier zorgdragen voor Wake Up Nederland!
Anneke en Verena blijven nog eventjes actief op de achtergrond om alles over te dragen en zwaaien daarna af na vele jaren betrokkenheid. Veel dank aan hen, voor alle zorg en plezier die zij al deze jaren hebben gegeven aan Wake Up Nederland! 

Een nieuwe Wake Up Nederland Sangha

We voelen alledrie enthousiasme om Wake Up Nederland uit te bouwen tot een actieve en duurzame organisatie, die Sangha's uit heel Nederland met elkaar en de wereld verbindt. Maar we voelen nog meer enthousiasme om dit samen met jullie te gaan doen! 

Daarom richten we een Wake Up Nederland Sangha op, voor iedereen die zin heeft om samen activiteiten te organiseren. Voor je eigen sangha en voor Wake Up Nederland. Hier zien we heel graag 1 à 2 personen van iedere Sangha in vertegenwoordigd. Zo dragen we samen bij aan meer verbinding en ontmoeting tussen verschillende Sangha's en zijn we samen Wake Up Nederland!

Hein, Marlie en Jasper

Event with monastics 
“All the wonders of life are already here. They’re calling you. If you can listen to them, you will be able to stop running. What you need, what we all need, is silence. Stop the noise in your mind in order for the wondrous sounds of life to be heard. Then you can begin to live your life authentically and deeply.”

- Thich Nhat Hanh
Wake up Netherlands New Year's retreat

Wake Up Netherlands woke up together on the first of January, during the New Year’s retreat in Nijmegen. During the retreat we reflected on what we want to take with us for the coming year. And what we perhaps want to let go of. Four wish balloons went up in the sky, filled with loving wishes!

What do you want to let go of and what do you want to bring to 2019?
A Christmas message from Plum Village: "Where is Thay?"

The brothers and sisters of Plum Village wrote a message to the community. They write about Thays stay in the Root Temple in Vietnam; and how it requires us to be courageous in making changes in our life to ensure the New Year will truly be “new”.

Wake Up Ambassadors

Have you been involved with the Wake Up movement in some form and you’d like to become even more active in the Wake Up community?

Since 2017 it is possible to become a Wake Up Ambassador and engage in the international community by meeting and inspiring Wake Up friends online. Click here to find out more and please let us know if you'd like to join the online gatherings, so we can invite you!

Furthermore there is a WU Ambassadors retreat in Plumvillage from the 29th of march until the 5th of april 2019. It will be an opportunity for Wake Up facilitators all over Europe to get to know each other better, build brotherhood and sisterhood as well as share challenges, aspirations, and support needed for your Sangha. Click here if you want to read more about the first European Wake Up Ambassadors week last year. Want to join? Send an email for more information!
Dear sangha,
Dear brothers and sisters, dear friends,
 
Happy new year! With lot’s of joy, mindfulness and compassion!
 
A new year, a fresh start. And simultaneously an ending and a continuation. As for everything, it also applies to Wake Up Netherlands! 

In the last newsletter Anneke and Verena shared their wish to stop their activities for Wake Up Netherlands and asked whether others wanted to continue. Good news: Hein, Marlie and Jasper felt excitement to do so! With lot’s of joy we will take care of Wake Up Netherlands for the coming time, with Anneke and Verena supporting us from the background to smoothen the transition. A lot of gratitude to them for all the care and joy they offered to Wake Up Netherlands all these years! 

A new Wake Up Netherlands Sangha

All three of us feel excited to make sure Wake Up Netherlands will grow into an active and sustainable organisation, which connects Sangha's from all over the country. But we feel even more excited to do this together with all of you! 

Therefore we will start a Wake Up Netherlands sangha, for everyone who likes to organize events together. For your own sangha and for Wake Up Netherlands. The sangha preferably consists of 1 or 2 people of every sangha in the country. In this way we strengthen the connection between all the Sangha's and together we are Wake Up Netherlands!

17 februari 2019: WU NL Sangha meeting 

Are you interested or do you want to investigate whether you are? Please join us on the 17th of February from 12.30 until 17.00 at the Muntmeesters in Utrecht (Leidsekade 117). To register you can send an e-mail to info@wkup.nl

With love,
Hein, Marlie and Jasper
