Inner peace and world peace meditation (Online & Tienhoven)
Let's meditate together for inner peace and for world 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. On World Day of Peace, he created a moment of unity to dissolve the sense of separation and return humanity to the deity. Hundreds of millions of people participated, from all backgrounds and religions, and whatever everyone's views, it marked a new beginning in the restoration of this world to sanity.
City lighting
Cities of Light is a similar Dutch initiative, to promote a culture of enlightenment. Every second Sunday of the month, people meditate in living rooms all over the world.
Tijn Touber, initiator of “City lighting”: “When asked how long you should meditate daily, I answer: half an hour, unless you are busy, then an hour. When I asked a yogi why he meditated every day, he looked at me in surprise and said: You're going to shower every day, aren't you? Right now it is important to consciously work on inner hygiene.” https://citiesoflight.org/nl/living_rooms/1987
Movement Meditation
Before starting your busy week, take some time to meditate together. You can participate online or on site. Before and after the mediation we tell you how we feel.
Sitting still is quite difficult for most people because we are used to being exposed to stimuli all day, while your body needs exercise. Movement Meditation ensures that you quickly find inner peace and that your attention returns to yourself. You make an inner journey through an alternation of intensive and subtle movement. By focusing attention on your body, you experience what is going on inside you.
After the meditation you can tell how you feel. There is also the option for playful self-touch afterwards. This takes place in a separate break-out room and is not supervised. By consciously touching yourself, you create a feeling of relaxation, self-love and pleasure.
Breath Meditation
Connecting with your breath can reduce stress and open the door to a healthier and more mindful lifestyle. One of the easiest ways to reduce stress is to simply focus on your breathing. You immediately notice a feeling of relaxation that can eventually make you feel healthier and fitter.
There are many other forms of breathing meditation where you consciously listen to your breath or change the rhythm, rate, or depth of your breath. These forms of breath meditation can be an entrance to the practice of "mindfulness," where you learn to accept and appreciate what comes into life and stop fighting your own thoughts and feelings.
We will breathe together and then listen to the silence. At the end there is a sub-circle. There is then an opportunity to share how you feel and what is going on in your life.

Every step is peacee
A good friend wrote to me: The book of this title by Zen teacher and peacemaker Thich Nhat Hanh (nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize) is before me. He taught me mindfulness and I could almost touch him in the early XNUMXs when he visited a meditation center in the Netherlands. He taught me to meditate and the teachings of the Buddha. Recently, the world received word that he has passed over in his home country of Vietnam. The world has been called upon to practice intensive meditation this week in tribute to him. I invite you to meditate with me in your thoughts or be in silence in your own way. For example with a walking meditation as a tribute to my teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. I hope I can invite you to be in silence your way Enjoy your breathing / Peace is every step. With loving regards, Bart”
