[wpedon id=”1114″ align=”right”]Lectures and Workshop with Rev. Bastiaan Baan

…In herb, stone, sea and light’s pure glance shineth His childlike countenance.

Usually we just hear these words of Novalis as a poetic expression. However, for Novalis and a few others who are able to see behind the veil of the physical world, one can recognize the hidden presence of Christ in nature. In this conference, we will try – in several lectures, in singing, and in a workshop where we observe plants – to uncover the veil.
