Lecture weekends in Eck en Wiel
Every two weeks we have a new lecture in Eck en Wiel. You are welcome to come for the weekend, starting at Friday night with a lecture usually connected with the theme of Saturday, continuing with a movie discussion on Saturday night and finishing with service on Sunday morning. The whole weekend has a cost of 50 euro p.p. (all inclusive: meals, room and participation in the program). But you can also just come for the saturday lecture, at 11:00, which is free! If you want to stay for lunch, at 13:00, there is a cost of 5 euro p.p. Check the dates and lectures and subscribe to participate through our contact page. The lectures are sometimes in English and sometimes in Dutch, but we can always provide translation, in both languages.

Henk Reitsema
Our filmweekend follows the familiar formula: watching and discussing 3 films together on Saturday, with an introduction on Friday and a service on Sunday. The weekend costs 50 euros. If possible, please bring your own bedsheets!
This time the theme is dealing with loss... With the films 'Rabbit Hole' (John Cameron, 2010) and 'Manchester by the Sea'(Kenneth Lonergan, 2016) and the animation 'Inside Out 2' (Kelsey Mann, 2024) we will look at how people react when they lose someone or something. If we seem to be 'scarred for life' by a loss, how can we be open to life again?
THE DAILY SCHEDULE IN OUR COMMUNITY:
At L'abri Eck en Wiel we provide a structure for the day, with time in community and also individual. Below you can see the rough schedule - which sometimes can be flexible as well. In yellow we highlight the different activities with content or in community.
Oh, and we can't forget the Tea Break! Every day, at 11 a.m., 16:30 p.m. and 20 p.m. we gather around tea and coffee pots to share our day, thoughts and lifes.
