Stichting Enlight organizes the largest free mindfulness event in the Netherlands! The event, which is free, takes place on 1 September from 7:00 pm to 10:30 pm in the Gashouder of the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam. Every year, the Enlight Foundation donates the proceeds of the event to charity. This year the money goes to the IMOVE Foundation. This initiative helps children and women who have been caught up by war violence. Research has shown that mindfulness has a positive effect on parts of the brain that are active in stress, emotions, aggression and executive functions. The IMOVE Foundation supports war victims with mindfulness and meditation, allowing them to learn to process traumas, to function better in society and to rebuild their lives.
During the event visitors can learn about the benefits of mindfulness and meditation. This year too, the goal is to meditate simultaneously with as many people as possible in the Gashouder. The session will be graced with a live singing bowl concert, hanging music and piano. In addition, meditation teachers Johan Noorloos and Sijbrand Maal will support the participants during their meditation session. Coach Jochem van Hessen from Energy Up and Daybreaker will provide the public with an energizer.
The event is free to visit for anyone interested in meditation and mindfulness. Both inexperienced and experienced practitioners can apply via the following link: https://worldpeacemeditation.nl/tickets/
