Farewell & Creation: A Ritual Journey

February 1 @ 8:30 am - 1:00 pm
₮155

N’oubliez Jamais — It’s in Your Destiny

Farewell as a Gate to Light — a ritual journey of honoring what has passed, remembrance, and creative transformation.

From the moment we are born, we carry one certainty with us: that we will have to let go again and again. Not only of people and lives, but also of phases, beliefs, perspectives, and ideas that have shaped us. At the same time, we are invited to live fully and to connect in love. And so we keep moving between life and death, between closeness and letting go.

Rituals invite us to consciously enter that in-between: the space between here and there, between us and them, between now, then and later. In that space we honor everything we are — pain and release, darkness and light, death and life, farewell and invitation.

With N’oubliez Jamais — It’s in Your Destiny, Griet Goeminne and Annemie Vrints (VaarTwell) offer a ritual in which we explore that in-between together through lecture, sound, music, and creative expression.

What to Expect

We believe in the courage, love and creative power within each of us.

Presence & Connection

During this half-day we make space for the story of farewell that still lives within you. We meet this with silence, light and love — and then allow it to flow through our hands into a tangible tribute.

Lecture: Speaking of Death

As ritual leader and founder of VaarTwell, Annemie shares a text she wrote for this event — a talk that guides us back through remembrance to the source of love and the golden center within us.

Sound Moment

We close the lecture with an intimate intuitive moment on in guitar or harmonium and the singing of Griet, then slowly sink into the silence where we explore the in-between spaces.

Creation as Tribute

We will be invited into a creative act of tribute — simple, accessible, and deeply meaningful. Please bring something small that connects you to the person, animal or situation you are honoring (a little ash, a scrap of cloth, a photo, a lock of hair, a small drawing or text). This will be incorporated into the created tribute.

Why Attend?

Transformation is not an aim — it is our nature. This ritual reminds us what it means to truly LIVE. N’oubliez Jamais — It’s in Your Destiny reminds us that in every ending a new beginning wishes to breathe.

What to Bring

  • Notebook & pen
  • A small memento to be included in the tribute (ash, cloth, photo, lock of hair, small drawing or text)
