When was the last time you knew something without proof?

Not a guess. A knowing.

The kind that arrives before the words do.

We are calling it INTUITION.
Deeper knowing.

A room. A handful of makers we have never met, showing the work that has been waiting in them.

No pitch deck. Just the work. As it actually is.

Makers who land well get a paid spot at a future Open Spirit, a booking at the Spirit festival, or another collaboration with us.

But that is not the reason to apply.

The reason is the room. The reason is the night. The reason is that something in you has been quietly waiting for the right time and the right floor.

This might be it.

THE OPEN SPIRIT #02
A night for the curious and daring.

The theme: intuition.

That pull before the thought. The yes before the reason. The knowing before the knowing.

No scripts. Just a room and whatever happens when you stop trying to know.

“What did we share before we lost each other?”

Long before colonialism and Christianity rewrote the script, people in Africa and the Netherlands shared a relationship with sound, ritual, and nature.

The same universal gestures: washing, gathering, cooking, praying.

The Keizersgrachtkerk will become a live research floor. We are looking directly at what was shared, what was silenced, and what remains inside us.

Het Mycelium #1. Part of the Keti Koti weekend in the Keizergrachtkerk on Saturday, June 20.

“Trust that isn’t scripted”

Last month, you filled the circle at the Keizersgrachtkerk. You told us that: “This night, I felt the city’s noise fading away and the evening light changing through the stained glass”.

A soft landing for many. We are bringing together a new group of makers to explore what happens when we set the script aside and trust our intuition. The gut feelings.

On Tuesday, June 16, we return to the same holy place.

The beauty of this evening was in the sight of q***r makers and the church community joining forces to celebrate freedom.

It was a full house for the Freedom Meal.

There was something incredibly powerful about seeing this sold-out table come to life on May 5th. Young and old, long-time church members and new faces, all sitting together to share a meal and celebrate what freedom means today.

A massive thank you to curator for bringing such a thoughtful program to the Keizersgrachtkerk, and to our makers for their moving performances:

Special thanks to Reverend Annelies Jans for her foreword on the sanctuary and history of this building, and to everyone who worked behind the scenes on the food and service.

It was a beautiful reminder that when we open our doors and our hearts, we create a space where everyone feels welcome.
