The Zaangha Day in the Netherlands must have been the smallest fo them all. Only 2 Zaadzsters were present. Not very strange if you think that it was organised just 12 hours before the event around midnight on Sept. 14th.
The conditions and location were wonderfull. A Nomadic Algerian restaurant had created an oasis on the spot where the canals Lauriersgracht and Prinsengracht meet. On the banks of the canal African carpest and pillows were placed, creating a wonderfull atmosphere. The weather cooperated with a late summer sun and temperature around 24 degr. C.
Present were Ilse Mulder and Jan Tetteroo. We discussed spirituality, environment, relations and other personal issues for about 5 hours. It was most enjoyable. The Algerian food was lovely. Eating both from a single plate contributed to an intimate atmosphere.
Around 7.30 we split up at the Central Station, knowing our Zaadz friendship had transformed into a real life one.

What a beautiful story! It sounds perfect.
It's amazing how much we can impact each other and how beautiful such a meeting can be. It just goes to show, it doesn''t matter how big your Zaangha is, it's the people that make it awesome.

It was perfect!
How fun! So nice that you three were able to connect and have such an inspiring and joyous time together. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us.
Three? It was just the two of us… But inspiring and joyous indeed.
Oy, I miss Amsterdam! Zaadz in Amsterdam is a natural fit!
How wonderful!
:) Wish I could have been there. I visited Amsterdam for the first time this year and really loved it. The Netherlands is such a happy, friendly and fun place to visit. Speaking Afrikaans also helped ;) Dankie vir die storie! Wonderlik!
Pelli,

My home town is a very nice place for a week-end away.
