Series of Self-inquiry Public talks: Understand Yourself Totally. Free and Open to Donations.
Dear resident:
Here is the proposal of "weekly meditation session" for the buurtbudgetzuid from the Foundation Mindiverse, Stichting. (Dutch version click here)
This plan has got enough "like" (by 16 Oct 2021) and passed the feasibility test (Dec 2021) and now until 22 October is up for voting for everyone living in Buitenveldert and Zuidas.
This is a project purely based on goodness, benefiting everyone; please vote for this plan, vote for goodness to make it happen.
Weekly meditation session for peace, joy & clarity
Inquire into oneself objectively and deeply; understand life and existence, for wisdom and happiness, for all residents.
To live a happy life is to live a life without fear. To eradicate fear is to understand it totally, is to know thyself.
That’s why we propose to offer a series of weekly meditation sessions through 2022. Without any religious and commercial elements, the sessions are set in a secular context to precisely explain the issues.
As Zuidas is a diverse and lively area, these sessions are in English, open to all residents, the local or international, women or men, the retired or still working, from all walks of life. It is a friendly, inclusive, quiet space. These sessions are to be held at Huis van de Wijk Buitenveldert or other places nearby.
This plan will be implemented by Foundation Mindiverse, Stichting. Its founder, also the meditation teacher is Cico Zhang. He was born in China, once a PhD researcher at VU on mathematics, AI, biology, neuroscience and human consciousness.
A few years ago, a period dealing with academic misconduct and prevalent dehumanization led him to inquire into the human consciousness totally and deeply. Along with the transformation naturally came clarity and passion to share. He began to offer free weekly meditation sessions in 2018 until now and this initiative became a foundation in February 2021. His free content has received 6 million views and listenings since 2019.
A philosophical lecture in plain English on all life topics including love, fear, relationship, loneliness, self-knowing, etc. The lecture is serious but never devoid of humor.
Guided meditation to calm down.
A relaxing social event after the main session, with drinks, snacks and potluck of healthy food.
Understand oneself and this world better.
Wisdom to handle life situations, stay peaceful and joyful.
Deep connection with others, support and care.
(The timeless content will be recorded as video and permanently available on an archive website dedicated to this project. For the concern of privacy, only the speaker Cico will be in the video.)
The plan will be executed by the Mindiverse Foundation, Stichting (KVK number: 81799802), with experience, perseverance and care.
There will be 44 sessions throughout 2022. During the whole 52 weeks, 8 weeks will be deducted for vacations or flexible arrangements.
Each session takes place on Saturday afternoon, from 3pm - 5pm.
The first session will be on 8th January.
The last session will be on 17th December, as following two Saturdays are Christmas Eve and New year Eve.
One possible location（Huis van de Wijk Buitenveldert, see it on the map）or other places nearby.
