Earth, water, air & fire, what can you expect?

All elements will be covered both evenings, only the emphasis will be on Friday evening at earth and air lie and Saturday night at fire and water.

A 5th element meditation recumbent concert takes you by means of sound, through the elements, to 'within', to the essence of being intimate. Without words and images, beyond understanding and knowing, surrendering to the unconditional 'I AM'. Where and how exactly this works out for you will become evident during the evening.

Poems about these elements have been published by Willem Glaudemans written especially for this purpose and are recited, (A book of these poems will be published with us this year).
