Reflection on Circle Gathering: Embrace the Unknown!

What a fantastic turnout of ‘old’ and ‘new’ trail-goers at an exceptionally inspiring and unifying Circle Gathering last weekend in the beautiful surroundings of Austerlitz.

Tim Voors took us on an adventure through the 4,268 km long Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. He spent six months walking it alone and, in a very inspiring and humorous way, took us along for the ride while also holding up a mirror to us. He talked about Trail Angels, Tramily, Hike Naked Day 😊, the Circle of Giving, and much more.

His message: go out alone and embrace the unknown 🤩! What’s stopping you?

Thanks also to Esther Koning who helped us ground ourselves with a nice meditation and to Janneke Bok for facilitating.

Wiet de Bruijn and Mirjam van Gils briefly updated the attendees about the Foundation.

Robbert Jansen beautifully introduced us to ‘Presencing’; about breaking free from old patterns, prejudices, and moving towards feeling and staying in the ‘not knowing’. This was followed by a walk in the beautiful forests near Austerlitz.

Many thanks also to Better Meetings, it was delightful to spend time there with a fantastic lunch.
