Those for whom meditation has become part of daily life questions about death are actually not that strange, neither are the answers far away. When After one is able to embrace death as being part of living, contemplating such questions often bring a warmth, a sense of closeness and intimacy. A remembrance of ‘home’.
Many think meditation is a tool for relaxation, to relieve stress. And of course this is what it does as well. But rather more importantly it is a tool to reconnect with our deepest essence, with what we are beyond ourselves...

Someone posted a beautiful question: “Do you think those you knew who died are in another place then you, right now? ”He referred to a deceased loved one. However I sensed he was not referring to someone who stayed in this world as ghost or entity like some do. Rather in a sense he referred to a knowing or a sensing...Nobody ever dies, leaves or is far away...

Despite its structured programme, each course develops a character of its own. Last month, we had a small group of five participants, with whom we ventured into largely unfamiliar territory.

The differences in experience were clearly felt, ranging from someone with deep life and spiritual experience to another for whom everything was entirely new, with others in between. It was beautiful to see how these differences complemented one another.
Naturally, each participant faced their own challenges. For the person who had been exploring spirituality through Taoism and Zen Buddhism, the challenge was to remain open and not fall into the habitual comparison with what he had learned before, concluding, “I already know this.” Such an attitude can easily close a door rather than open one. Given how difficult it is to let go of one’s own ideas, there was deep respect for the way he navigated this challenge.

By contrast, for the participant to whom everything was new, openness came more easily. With nothing to measure against, there was simply an invitation to engage with the material, unburdened by preconceived ideas.

The process unfolded harmoniously, showing how people at different stages of life can enrich one another.

This course explores a particular perspective on life, using meditation, imagination and contemplation. A central challenge in this journey is the aspect of letting go of preconceived ideas and a strong identification with the self, in order to attune to something beyond - an unknowable reality that cannot be grasped by the mind....

Attuning in the first place involves a humility; a readiness to listen and discover. It also involves not imposing your programmes on everything. They are the obstacles that make you deaf and blind. Attuning is an all-in transformation: ultimately a transformation into Abbah.Yoginâm, "A Nâm selection from the Quran’, 2025

Join us in the next 5-day event Meaningful Living, which is all about attuning....

One of our first programmes is still running today. And that is, of course, because it is so powerful and effective. Silence and “doing nothing” are deepened and supported by active attunements, AshaMeditation recitation and... life HarpMood by Yoginâm!

The programme is structured in such a way that the elements complement each other. This actually happens behind the scenes. You cannot see it happening, it is more hidden. But afterwards you notice a profound change. Something you cannot quite put your finger on. Yet it is there. You feel it somehow. And yes, you also feel its profound value.

Changes and shifts have taken place behind the scenes while you were busy with something else. Like a bee that actively collects honey without realising that it is pollinating the flowers.

You feel that it is powerful and you can benefit from it for the rest of your life. Something has happened that transcends you, me and the self.Join us this winter for this transformative retreat, The Nâm Retreat of Silence.

A daily monastic rhythm of meditations and silence, with very special instruments for focus and attunement, are a powerful opportunity to unwind and tune in to our Essence, that which we really are.

“The meaning of living is living it”, heb ik Yoginâm zo vaak horen zeggen. Maar wat betekent dat eigenlijk? Ik heb hier vaak over nagedacht en doe dat nog steeds, omdat het zo'n diepgaande en diepzinnige betekenis heeft.

Wat is leven eigenlijk? Gaat het om werken, geld verdienen, een bedrijf starten, een mooie auto? Op vakantie gaan, verjaardagen vieren, leuke dingen kopen? Ik vroeg het me af en twijfelde vooral 'dat kan toch niet waar zijn?!'

En deze vragen waren eigenlijk het begin van mijn zoektocht, bijna 30 jaar geleden. En nu ben ik hier, en geef ik deze cursussen om iets te faciliteren dat anderen met soortgelijke en andere vragen kan helpen om antwoorden te vinden... en nog veel meer!

Doe volgende maand met me mee en ga ook op zoek naar de betekenis van het leven en wat het betekent om te leven.

Het is perceptie die het dagelijkse leven kan verheffen tot een betekenisvol leven. Tijdens deze prachtige intensieve cursus ontdek je deze verlichte manier om het leven te ervaren.

"The Meaning of Life is Living it', so many times I have heard Yoginâm saying this. But what does that really mean?
I have often contemplated this and still am for it has such profound and deep meaning. For example, what really is living about? Is this about working, earning money, starting a business, a fancy car? Going on holidays, celebrating birthdays, shopping for nice things. I wondered and doubted and these questions where actually the start of my quest almost 30 years ago. And here I am now, giving these courses just to facilitate in something, that could help others with similar and other questions to find answers....and so much more!!
Join me next month and explore into the Meaning of Living and what it means to be living.

It is perception that can lift everyday life to a meaningful life. You will explore this enlightened way of experiencing life during this beautiful intensive.

Een spiritueel leven is een verantwoordelijk leven.
Het beste maken van wat het leven ons biedt,
zonder te klagen.
Alles omarmen:
het goede en het kwade,
het mooie en het lelijke,
het fijne en het minder fijne.
Je omarmt alles.
