Sacred Session: We’re Earthlings w/ cellist Marta González

Sacred Sessions are intimate gatherings responding to a wider yearning for spiritual and community connection.

Each session uniquely blends philosophy, science, poetry, contemplative practice, and collective reflection. Over 75 minutes a theme is explored through myriad expressions, so that we may feel ideas rather than just understanding them intellectually.

April 8th: In our day-to-day, we tend to forget that we’re moving on a planet in space. With the transportive cello music of Marta Gonzalez, this session will be dedicated to a collective remembering of our planetary nature. And in perfect paradox, we'll find that expanding our attention to the cosmos reconnects us to the magic beneath our feet.

(This session is a longer version of one called, Remember We’re Earthlings, which will be held at TU Delft’s Studium Generale’s For the Love of the World Festival on March 29th.

April 22th: Hope, when not used to distract us from reality, is a fierce and tender thing. Drawing on Rebecca Solnit’s book, Hope in the Dark, we’ll explore the sensation of holding grounded and ungrounded hopes in times of upheaval. 

May 6th: This will include the liberatory experience of belting it out in the Oude Kerk. If you’re nervous about using your voice, this session is especially for you.

May 22th: The final Sacred Session allows for the bittersweet feelings that accompany those endings that are also beginnings. We’ll try out some favourite exercises from past sessions and soak up in the sacred community we’ve created together. First-timers are absolutely welcome!
