De Betovering
On Thursday, August 17th, “de Tovertuin” will be hosting various workshops and events. Following the opening ceremony, there will be a healing Zhineng QiGong session open to everyone. Guided by experienced QiGong Master Rob Tol, you will learn fluid movements derived from ancient Chinese teachings that can work wonders for your health, leaving you feeling wonderfully energized. We will also engage in “toning” with Hugo van der Hout. Toning is a freeform practice of singing harmonious sounds together. Starting with a single tone, other tones gradually emerge, creating ever-changing chords. You become part of the sound, and the sound resonates within you. It’s a delightful and healing experience for everyone, regardless of singing ability. The minimum number of participants is 10, and there’s no maximum limit. Making music without instruments is possible too, through body percussion. Elisabeth Beijerinck, also known as Didge Mama, will demonstrate this technique. Drumming on your body not only produces sounds but also releases stored energy, resulting in better balance. During the break, the Enchanted Garden will provide a delicious, fully organic vegetarian lunch using products from their grounds, of course. In the afternoon, we will be captivated by the earthy sounds of Australian didgeridoos, and you can learn the basics of playing this instrument. Whether playing it classically or with a hip beatboxing twist, the possibilities are endless! Elisabeth Beijerinck (DidgeMama), Hugo van der Hout, and Rob Tol will be your guides. Curious about the process of making a didgeridoo? Hugo will demonstrate it. Of course, you’re also welcome to simply listen, observe, and stroll through the garden, enjoying the blossoming flora. You can also meet the bees and the farmers. Lieuwe and Bram will gladly explain their ecological methods and open your eyes to everything happening in the Enchanted Garden. We’ll conclude the day with a gathering around the campfire if the weather permits, or perhaps some water fun! There are a maximum of 50 available spots, and children up to 12 years old can attend for free. The contribution fee is 100 euros per person, including access and participation in all workshops, as well as food and drinks. The proceeds will support “de Tovertuin” and Elisabeth’s travel endeavours.
