5th European Festival of Brotherhood: Awaken the King within
Dear Brother, YOU are most welcome to join the 5th European Festival of Brotherhood.
This international Gathering of Men is a unique opportunity to meet brothers across borders!
Every day men, all over Europe, are practicing to be centered, decisive, to be of service, to live the true meaning of an abundant life. This rich Kingdom is to be found in our spirit. It’s for us brothers our daily practice to find the King within. Every men does this in his own unique expression. So feel free to show up as the lover, the jester, the wild man etc.
And now these men come together at the 5th European Festival of Brotherhood, celebrated at Vlierhof in Kleve, Germany, close to the Dutch border at Nijmegen. The brothers will come together to create a sacred space for personal growth, spiritual development and masculine acceptance. We will be totally ourselves, we will break our boundaries, and……we will have fun!
*****************************************************************
WHAT WILL WE DO DURING THESE 3 DAYS?
The theme of the fifth European Festival of Brotherhood is ‘AWAKEN THE KING WITHIN.’ The festival is a space for spiritual resurgence for men. At the festival, together with other men like you, you will break your boundaries as well as experience the natural way of ‘being’.
During the festival you are invited to:
*** learn what it is to stand around a fireplace with other men, all sharing their truths;
*** pick up handy spiritual practices to be a fulfilled man;
*** practice the ‘Haka’;
*** step into an icecold bath when you are called to do so;
*** walk over fire when the fire calls you ….. and;
we will break sweat together in ceremony, create our own sacred symbols…and we will play and have fun!
Together with a group of enthusiastic facilitators who met during the earlier four editions the men will encourage each other at Vlierhof to safely express all your questions on life, follow ancient initiations, and learn rituals that will go easily beyond the mind.
In three days we will let go of patterns of the mind that are no longer helpful, say lovingly goodbye to relations that are no longer useful, and awaken the masculine spirit within that will smile when it rains and laugh when it storms. Knowing that the masculine spirit is unshakable as the mountain, NOW is the time for you to start to fully embody your King-quality, so…
You are all welcome to join the other brothers during this fifth European Festival of Brotherhood!
