Agenda

This is your invitation to go outside more often and reconnect with yourself. We follow the year through eight compass points: the solstices, the equinoxes, and the four moments exactly in between. For each compass point, you’ll find a journey below, a moment to come together, or a small activity for at home. In between, whenever it suits you: sit down at a favorite spot outdoors and meditate there, using an exercise from the library. Visit a place or area you haven’t been to yet. Borrow a dog and take it for a walk. Talk to a tree, or to the donkey in the pasture. Walk away from home, close your eyes, and count the sounds. Pick up two twigs and really look at them. Feel where the wind wants to take you. Stare at the clouds, without any expectations. - visiting and exploring a new place or unfamiliar area at least once per season; - borrowing a dog and taking it for a walk, talking to a tree or a donkey in a meadow, setting out on a walk from home, closing your eyes and counting all the sounds, picking up two different twigs and really looking at them, simply feeling where the wind leads you, gazing at the clouds without any expectations, and so on.... Let yourself be inspired by everything Gofinestera has to offer.

Second balance, autumn equinox or 4th solar point

23rd september 2026

2.05 am

Day and night are exactly the same length. This is a natural time to take stock of your own life: what have you accomplished, and what are you grateful for? Reflect on this and write down what it means for your intentions for the coming period leading up to the winter solstice.
 
Tip: You could do the “Hello” or “Affection” exercises here; click on them via the media hub.

When the weather is nice, find a nice spot. Turn your attention inward and reflect on the past period: What gave you energy, and what actually drained you? Do you want to change something in your life? And: How are you going to do this in the coming period?

Surrender, fourth cross point

This is the period dedicated to “digesting” the harvest. Feel what you’ve harvested and how it’s playing out in your life right now. It’s also a time for surrender within yourself. Let go of what no longer feels right.

Tip: For example, you can try the following exercises from the Media Hub: “Surrender,” “Letting Go with Earth and the Cosmos.”

A short trip to Southwest England

2nd - 8th april 2027

We organised our first trip in this area. Many more trips were to follow to the mythical Avalon (Glastonbury), Avebury – the largest stone circle in the world – right in the centre of the Stonehenge circle, and a taste of Dartmoor. This area is one of the most powerful catalysts for growth. The countryside offers you every opportunity to reflect, enjoy yourself, make new choices and change what you may have wanted to change for some time. And if you’ve been here before? Then the countryside is guaranteed to show you something new and let you experience something fresh… Will you join us? Read more here (in dutch).

A trip to Sardinia

29th May - 6th June 2027

This delightful Mediterranean paradise boasts rugged landscapes, magnificent mountains, ancient volcanoes, caves, waterfalls, stunning coastlines, lovely beaches and… excellent cuisine. Above all, it has an exceptional prehistoric history. The Nuraghes, necropolises, numerous ‘Domus de Janas’ and even a pyramid are striking examples of this. There are also tales of giants. Could it be true that they once lived here?

First Harvest, third crosspoint

7th August 2027

7:27 pm

Everything is still in bloom. You can already really feel the stillness in the air—so characteristic of this time of year. In the Northern Hemisphere, people are already getting ready for work and school—and perhaps to throw themselves into something with all their might. Actually, this isn’t quite in sync with the rhythm of nature, which is preparing for the harvest.

Tip: Try the “Heart” and “Clear Space” exercises from the Media Hub.
