Gathering of Relatives and Networks, Old and New, Dec.

13-15, Amsterdam
Very Beloved Relatives, As always, it is my prayer that you and your beloved ones are in the very best of health and happiness! My heartfelt thanksgiving to Sister Karin Lindeman for her kind commitment to help facilitate a Dec. 13-15 Gathering, organized in segments, of relatives and networks, old and new, that we have had the great honor and privilege to meet and share with since 1995. This three day, segmented Gathering will include: the screening of our new award winning film, Shift of the Ages,, Sharing Circles, Ceremony, Remembrances and, of course, two evenings of Dance facilitated by our Brother of the Dance, Jan Pieter Van Lieshout! We have left the 15th open for a Family Day, smaller circles of consultation and follow-up that may emerge during our visit. We return home on Dec. 16. We have found several venues well suited for this Gathering, but we are still doing our due diligence based on cost, space, and the capacity to screen Shift of the Ages. Sister Karin will confirm the location and break even costs for attending a segment, segments or the entire Gathering by Wednesday morning, Dutch Time. We want to insure that we receive the best break-even costs so that anyone who wishes to join us for one or two segments or the overall Gathering is able to afford to do so! Your input into this Gathering process including, as a volunteer, is warmly welcomed. Realizing that this is very short notice, it is my heartfelt prayer that you and your loved ones may find time to join us in renewing and deepening relationships and networks of the past, with new relationships and networks of the present and future! If you have already made other plans, we fully understand.

Compassion Games International and the Compassionate Cities Initiative


As well, I look forward to introducing you to Brother Jon Ramer and his dedicated work as the Founder and a Director of Compassion Games International, originator of the Compassionate Cities Initiative, and Four Worlds Chief Technology Officer. We co-authored Deep Social Networks and the Digital 4th Way," that we will be sharing from during our journey to the Netherlands.

The Synergized Earth Network


Brother Jon and I are coming to the Netherlands to share with and learn together with representatives, which our Dakota Prophecies have long referred to as the 7Th Generation. These are those young people who now comprise more than 50% of the Human Family. We serve as Elders to their emerging Global Vision and Network the Synergized Earth Network (SEN). This has been a life-long vision of my Tonja Seren Dalkiran, with the dedicated love and support of my Tonja Willeke Wenno and a wonderful circle of other 7th Generation Leaders that comprise their global circle of leadership!

Needed Support
If you have any suggestions regarding a good location for the Gathering Process in Amsterdam, including the Screening of the Shift of the Ages that is in or close by an indoor space, for about 120- 200, for our overall Gathering or would like to volunteer, please contact Sister Karin karin@lindeman.me, 06 24235372. The indoor space only needs chairs and a few display tables. Your suggestions regarding further potential locations will insure that we have done all possible to find the best space at the best cost!

Remembrances
My heart felt remembrances of my on-going visits with beloved Relatives in the Netherlands, during the past 18 years, began when I met Brother Fred Matser and became a member of the Twinkling Eyes Club, the only non-exclusive Club on the planet!

Encounter of Worldviews- Diving into the Deep


Through Brother Freds kind support I had the very joyful and uplifting experience to participate in the Encounter of Worldviews Diving into the Deep held at the Putten Castle, in November, 2002. The Encounter of World Views, with support and collaboration from Herman Wijffels, was co-initiated by Jan Willem Kirpestein and Bart Gijsbertsen Sr., who along with Dialogue Circle Leaders, Jelle de Jong, Johan Bontje, Mark Tichgelaar, Eva van der Fluit, Annelous de Vin, Bernhard Holtrop, Aart Bos, co-facilitated the gathering in Putten. This is where we had our first Staking Ceremony. From this Dialogue Gathering at the Putten Castle in 2002 many interrelated initiatives and movements were inspired and unfolded. These include, The Foundation of Natural Leadership , The World Dialogue Foundation and Opleiding Dialoogprocesbegeleiding and others like Nederland in Dialoog , emerged in other ways.

Remembering Dialogue Gatherings, Staking Ceremonies and Beloved Relatives


During the various Dialogue Gatherings and Staking Ceremonies, over the years, so many wonderful relatives and experiences come to my heart and mind! I remember so vividly and joyfully the Dance of the White Buffalo, created and led by our Brother of the Dance, Jan Pieter Van Lieshout, the kindness and unconditional love of our Sister, Bear Woman, Mato Win, the emergence of the Soul Voice of Sister Anke de Jong and her brother Jelles unique version of Wayankeye, the very gracious and delicious dinners hosted by Sister Carolien and her Beloved Husband, the courageousness of Sister Marianne van den Anker, the gentle wisdom of Marieke de Vrij , the ceremonial mastery gained over the years by Brother Bernard Holtrop, the relentless dedication and love of Sister Annelous De Vin, Sister Helena Tjong Tjin Joe, now a Master of Biodanza, who was always at every Gathering, whether she was fully understood or not and so many others that supported and participated in our early and later Dialogue Gatherings and Staking Ceremonies across the Netherlands!
