Dear KenKon Community, (Dutch translation below) We are happy to
Hier opnieuw een mail met een aankondiging van een wijziging van het lesrooster van de KenKon activiteiten.
Alle lessen, behalve de karate-lessen en de Zen-meditatie les op de maandagochtend, zullen voorlopig nog hybride worden aangeboden en dus ook nog online te volgen zijn.
Hier opnieuw een mail met een aankondiging van een wijziging van het lesrooster van de KenKon activiteiten.
Alle lessen, behalve de karate-lessen en de Zen-meditatie les op de maandagochtend, zullen voorlopig nog hybride worden aangeboden en dus ook nog online te volgen zijn.
Vanwege de harde lockdown vinden deze week geen groepslessen meer plaats. Vanaf volgende week is het twee weken vakantie. Op uiterlijk 10 januari zullen we laten weten wat we aan kunnen bieden in de eerste week van het nieuwe trainingsjaar. Afhankelijk van wat we tegen die tijd weten over de COVID pandemie en de overheidsmaatregelen.
Introductory courses are made up of ten classes where, at a reasonable pace, you’ll become familiar with the activity in question. Once the course is finished, you can follow two trial classes to get a feel of the real thing. Would you like to keep going to classes, register yourself as a member and you’ll be free to attend classes at any time of the week. Those that already participate in a different activity don’t have to pay separate fees. Instead, they have the option to pay a special fee for 2 (or 3) activities.
Goju-ryu is a traditional style of karate where both effectiveness in situations of self-defence, as well as a positive contribution to physical and spiritual development play an important role.
Tibetan meditation is simply about spiritual exercise that leads to increased inner peace, concentration, clarity, compassion, consciousness and freedom.
Qigong (pronounced: chi-kung) or ‘Chinese yoga’ is a Chinese system of health exercises that was created thousands of years ago. Literally, qigong means something like ‘exercising life force’.
Sitting still, calming your mind, and becoming aware of your surroundings again.
Embodyment is a programme revolved around exploring, valorising and applying the wisdom of our bodies.
“Hojo Undo” or “support training” is the traditional strength training of Goju-Ryu. Tools are used in such a way that they provide maximal support for the body in order to practice karate.
Once or twice a year, Sydney Leijenhorst holds an ‘open conversation week’. Everybody, member or non-member, is free to come by KenKon for ‘a good conversation’ of maximum one hour, in exchange for a free donation in the donation box. You are free to send your neighbour, grandmother, or enemy, and it can be about anything you want.
In een wereld die steeds chaotischer en meer dualistisch lijkt te worden leert de stilte ons dat alles één is. Wanneer buiten de natuur zich overgeeft aan het ontbindingsproces en opgaan in de aarde, komen we op KenKon om dit proces samen in stilte te delen.
March 2016 saw the start of the reading group on Tibetan Buddhism, a group of people who want to explore books about Tibetan Buddhism and exchange ideas and thoughts about it with each other.
Aikido (合気道 aikidō), literally “the way of coming together with Ki” is a Japanese martial art with a strong philosophical dimension, developed around the start of the 20th century by Morihei Ueshiba.
Since 2013, I have been giving weekly dance and dance-based movement classes at KenKon. Every first class of a cycle is a trial class. If you want to visit on another date, feel free to contact me. See you soon!
With intuitive yoga we work from intuition. It's about opening up yourself and feeling it, rather than trying to accomplish something.
Tracks such as: Nalandabodhi and Tasting the Essence of Tantra
All members are free to enter the training areas to practice by themselves or with others. The Northern area will be available for karate practice, the Southern area for Qigong, and the upstairs area for meditation. You are free to use the areas between 9:30 and 12:00
It is in my nature to follow intuition, hunches and dreams, and this summer there was a sudden impulse to start realising previously unexpressed freedom and wishes. This will be done in the form of ad hoc organised training sessions, focussed on specific topics and specific audiences.

Dear all,
Unfortunately there is no Tibetan Yoga class tomorrow, September 6. The traffic from here to Hamburg seems more challenging than I was used to. And I have to teach karate from Friday early evening to Sunday afternoon. Therefor I need to leave before 10 h. I realized this too late and was not able to find a replacement for my me in time. My apologies.
If you had any friends that planned to come – alone or with you – please let them know that there is no session, but that they are welcome next Friday.
I look forward to see you again next week at the meditation or yoga classes. Let’s make it a wonderful year!
Warm regards,
Sydney
