Solidarity for Ukraine

It is war in Europe. I remember the overwhelming nature and the open-hearted hospitality during my travels to Ukraine. It is horrifying to see our neighbors in Ukraine surrounded by bombs, machine guns and grenades and forced to flee. The future is uncertain. Let's each, within our own ability, see what we can do. Every support, every gesture can be a valuable contribution.

Refugees, students and people with a minimum income receive a 20% discount on the regular rates at Tijs Breuer. In the period from March to July 2022, I temporarily gave free treatments to refugees from Ukraine and Russia.

World Peace Meditation

My journey through Ukraine in 2005

Every second Sunday evening of the month at 20:00 I organize a meditation for peace. World Peace Meditations have been organized since 1986 (eg by John Randolph Price), with the aim of finding peace in ourselves, our environment and the world worldwide. Do you want to participate, at home or via Zoom? Then sign up via Meetup or send me a message on +31626174884.

Shelter

Oleksiy

From March to June 2022, I temporarily housed Oleksiy, a Ukrainian friend I've known for 20 years. I thank my neighbors and others involved for all loving gestures and gifts (such as shaving soap, fruit, welcome cards, pocket money).

Poem by Max Rosochinsky

(from the poetry collection Words of War)

No poem in forty days
Poetry went to the grave
When on November 23
Andriy Yurga, a fighter of the “OUN” battalion
Killed in battle at Pisky
He was from Lviv, nicknamed “Davyd”.
Poetry turned black
Worn mourning clothes for forty days
Then it was covered with earth
then with as
Forty days of poetry was in the trenches
Clenches his teeth and shoots back in silence
Poetry wouldn't talk to anyone
What's there to talk about?
Dead?
In those forty days many people died in poetry.
Poetry saw trees die.
The ones who ran through the minefields of a trap And never made it through winter. Poetry saw animals die.
Injured cats and dogs
Dragging their spilled guts through the streets
Like this is something normal
Poetry did not know what to do:
Have pity and help them die, or
Have pity and let them live.

  1. Blessings for you and your friend Tijs. It's fantastic how you are committed to your fellow man. You are an example to us all. Very nice and inspiring that you are doing this. I will join the peace meditation next week. Hug!

  2. Experience a phenomenal treatment from Tijs in an attractive and relaxed setting at his home. An absolute must if you dare to give yourself quality time. Tijs knows how to let the body speak where you thought you would leave the hidden unspoken. With his richly experienced hands and arms, Tijs knows how to touch every muscle and release it from the constrictions of life and the ubiquitous confusion.
    All treatments from Tijs will be highly recommended. Reminisce here for a while. I look forward to the sequel. By the way, very sympathetic of you that you give a discount to refugees, more people should do that, also from Arab countries where it is not safe for everyone to be themselves.
