January in Amonines

Asharum Amonines Journal December

The winter set in on the morning of November 28, showing us a white world and bringing a chilly feeling to our face.

 

 

Lunch Boxes

Mid December Asharum Amonines was rented out to a group of people who came for a workshop to learn about the use of different herbs. The weather seemed a bit cold for such a workshop; they had an intense programme spending the whole day outside. It was a new experience for us, making lunch boxes with pasta salad and seitan pies for the participants to take with them. Fortunately there was a fire in the evening where they shared the experiences of the day enjoying each other’s company.

Colouring the house

As noted with some surprise by the supporting staff, Asharum Amonines relies on the dedication of those who feel connected to the Asharum and therefore want to help. The vulnerability of this situation is at the same time its beauty and quality, because it makes the Asharum into an open place, where life is flowing through in the form of many people colouring the house as they pass through it. And there were many of them towards the end of December.

 

Empty

Our roles in the Asharum shift continuously when we go from being hostess to guiding a meditation or a retreat, cooking, gardening, cleaning or driving up and down to the station. It teaches us the relativeness of all these roles, not identifying with them and not forming ideas about how they should be fulfilled, because we exchange roles all the time and everyone performs them in a different way. We need to be open to allow life to express itself through us.

Different guests expressed their appreciation:

I have been to several places like this, but when I entered here I felt it immediately, this is right. A place you come home to when you step through the door. Everything so natural, so real.

Katelijn brings her own, original style to the yogaclasses that I absolutely loved. The meditation is very pure: highly recommended.

Did you know that…

The Private Meditation Retreat is now also available for a period of five and ten days.

Thank you for your guidance during my first ever meditation retreat from 24-29th December 2023. You will be pleased to know that today I did meditation on my own for the very first time (30 mins on Harp music). I am inspired to continue on the path you have shown.
