We leren sporten, denken en presteren, maar zelden leren we wat het betekent om bezield te leven.

Om richting te vinden, verlangens te verstaan en te leven vanuit liefde in vrede.

Dat leren wij hier bij The Spirit School. 8 lesavonden, 8 tradities, 8 geestelijk leiders:
Tim Vreugdenhil (protestantisme), Julia Jinne Sensei (zen-boeddhisme), Arjan Broers (oecumenisch vrijzinnig), Anne Dijk (islam), Claartje Kruijff (remonstrants), Joram Rookmaaker (jodendom), Michel Dijkstra (taoïsme), Marianne van Praag (jodendom), Christophorus Goedereis (Katholiek - Capucijnen)

Je bent welkom. In september starten twee groepen. Aanmeldingen sluiten 10 augustus. Groep is max 20 p.

Second edition, we’re more in love than we could’ve ever imagined.

The first edition took our breath away. The second edition grounded us. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Open Spirit #2. To the artists who trusted us with their work. To the people in the audience who surrendered to the unknown.

We left Keizersgrachtkerk wanting more.
The good news: we’re doing it again.

Open Spirit #3 early bird tickets and artist applications are now open. Link in bio!

See you again soon.

Love,
Team Spirit

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.

Watch it unfold through 8 different artists in one night.

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.

Tickets Live. Link in bio.
