During Peace Week, September 14-22, Miriam van den Eerenbeemt ("our Miriam 😊) will give a workshop at House of Compassion on Thursday, September 19. The workshop is entitled: Compassion a whole art. Below is Miriam's description of the workshop, also in relation to her own background.

"I grew up at Peace House and worked at the House of Compassion and now at the Art Room. Peace begins with compassion and that starts with yourself and from there to the people and world around you. All this comes together in this peace week in a beautiful afternoon on Thursday, Sept. 19, with the workshop: Compassion quite an art! Reflecting together on what moves you on the inside and sharing how you shape that to the outside world.

We will work first with collages, then with words and finally with symbols. From 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Compassion in pictures, 1:30 to 3 p.m. Closer to yourself and from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Drawing Compassion.

There will be soup for lunch. You can also join in with a portion. Just let me know if you want more information or want to sign up, no later than Sept. 12."
