Headless Workshop based on the book You Are Already What You Seek 
with Karin and Amaranatho
Saturday June 20th , 10.30 am - 4.30 pm 

You Are Already What You Seek is the Dutch translation of Douglas Harding's On Being God.

Join us for a playful workshop exploring his approach.

You Are Already What You Seek is an almost meditative book. It comprises of short texts that explore the difference between our identity as human beings and our identity as the Source itself, the Divine. The book considers different aspect of our lives in 51 short chapters. And it turns out that the contrast between these two identities could not be greater, and therein lies the solution to many of our human problems.

What may at first appear to be a philosophical approach turns out to be the literal perception that we can see for ourselves when we put aside our assumptions, memories and imagination and truly observe reality as it presents itself. And then we can reflect on this deeper ourselves.

In this workshop, we will dive deeper into these chapters, linking them to the classic experiments that Douglas Harding developed as well as new ones.

When we share our findings with other Headless friends during the workshop, a wealth of practical insight opens up that is helpful for not only contemplating but for truly living this perspective. You are welcome to rediscover yourself as the Origin, God, itself.

You do not need prior familiarity with the book or The Headless Way.

Feedback from previous participants: These workshops are playful, practical, non-authoritarian, insightful and intimate.

The workshop is facilitated by Karin Visser and Amaranatho.

Headless Way Women with Karin
Saturday August 29, 10.30 am - 4.30 pm 
A Headless Workshop for Women

Headless women... These two words contradict each other, because gender is absent in the headless space. And I have also noticed that when a group of women share their headless experiences, other topics come up. Women seem to find it easier to talk about certain experiences when men are not present, perhaps because some issues are less relevant to men. That is why this is a workshop for women among themselves.

We will focus on the headless (genderless) perspective as well as our experiences as female persons in the world. We will explore how these two perspectives hold each other. We will try out new and old headless experiments and see what insights they bring to each of us. I’m looking forward to meeting you.

Please bring your own lunch, as well as a side dish that you can share with two others.

Where: Headless Café in Lelystad

Costs: € 50 (including coffee/ tea)

Public transportation: Train to Lelystad Centraal, then bus 1 or 11 to Lelystad-Haven

Headless Workshop based on the book Face to No Face
with Karin and Amaranatho
Saturday January 24, 10.30 am - 4.30 pm 

The book Face to No Face, recently published in Dutch by Samsara Books, has long been my favourite book, which lay next to my bed and which I have opened and reread countless times.

In the book, Harding explores, on the one hand, the immediate and direct path to coming Home Here and, on the other hand, the wealth of insights that come with exploring this further. Through his creative writing, he touches on many topics, such as our two identities, the mystery of our origins, surrender, and much more.

Douglas Harding asked no one to take his words for granted; he created experiments to see for yourself. At the forefront of this workshop we use these and more recently developed experiments to practically test what is true for us and what is useful to us in our daily lives.  Even if you have not read the book, you are most welcome.
