ECOLOGY
NETHERLANDS
Welcome to the website of Spiritual Ecology Netherlands, a new project offering events, courses and retreats on the relationship between inner work and outer change.
As teacher Joanna Macy points out, “the sorrow, grief, and rage you feel is a measure of your humanity… as your heart breaks open there will be room for the world to heal.” We live in a beautiful world that is also facing many challenges. We need inner tools to support us in order to engage with the beauty and challenges of our times.
Inner practices - such as those based on mindfulness and compassion - can support us to deeply experience the truth of interconnectedness, to manage challenging emotions and to be more present as our full selves in the world. These practices can also serve to inspire us to take action to protect this sacred world of which we are all a part.
Spiritual Ecology Netherlands is made up of a passionate group of people with many years of experience. The core team includes Maaike Boumans, Annick Nevejan and Flo Scialom. We are also proud to be supported by St. Ethelburga's Center for Reconciliation and Peace, where Maaike is an Associate Fellow Spiritual Ecology.

“In the face of struggles for social justice, for making the world a better place even when the times feel daunting, mindfulness practices can help provide us with the tools we need to navigate the emotional and conceptual terrain that comes with seeking to make change”
We love to create open, interactive and community focused events, and we offer a range of different formats to help you connect and learn.
We are very happy to be in touch about any of our events or offerings, so please do reach out if you have any questions or simply want to say hello.
