Over het evenement
What can we learn from these Native American Elders and their spirituality?
The basis of their vision of life is Mitakuye Oyasin in the Sioux language: we are all connected to everything that lives around us.
When they pronounce it, they make the connection with the invisible and visible world. They realize that everything we do has an effect on the rest of the world. Everything is connected, even though you no longer see or feel it in our Western mentality.
Spirituality is a way of life that you practice every day, like you eat or sleep every day.
We know the Indians as a dying race who were banished to the reservations and exterminated. But Indians are more resilient than ever and are coming back to the forefront because we need them to refresh our lost wisdom.
We in the west have lost our authentic Celtic roots for years and only now are people here starting to realize that these traditional wisdoms have a lot of value to restore our balance.
Ceremonies are aimed at strengthening or restoring balance, and showing respect and gratitude.
We start at 2 pm in the Chapel of the Oud Gasthuis in Asse and end around 8 pm.
Ceremony, chants, stories and Q&A wisdom are intertwined.
Contribution: 80 euros
All proceeds go to charity:
"Gather Our Children Home" is a single and unique warm nest where babies, children of
