Spring and New Beginnings

Spring and New Beginnings

Louis Bijl de Vroe and Simon Ohler are philosophers and brothers in spirit. When we get together, we combine culture, comedy, and ancient wisdom, and something happens. We like to call it Spiritual Mischief. In the vein of Spiritual Mischief, we create podcasts and education programs — and Interintellect salons : )

On Spring and New Beginnings:

There are two simultaneous layers in life: the “stream of continuity,” a concrete domain where we make sure we have order, money and security in life, and the “stream of renewal,” a layer that is less tangible and full of subtlety. 

Nature teaches us that renewal happens cyclically. After a period of growth (spring), fruition (fall), and stillness (winter), new forms take shape again in the spring. As in nature, so in us (we are nature, after all).

It isn’t always easy to connect to the stream of renewal — it is a subtle and tender thing. Yet it is important, lest we let our lives grow stale. That’s why we want to open up to the line of renewal, in order to become familiar with it and learn to navigate our needs for this layer in our lifecycle.

In this salon we will look into the principles of renewal and continuity, and the importance of knowing when to let go of the old so the new can grow.

Join us to feel the renewing energy of “spring and new beginnings” through our conversation. Let’s discuss agentic choices of renewal, gratefulness for the continuity we have in our lives, habits, viewpoints, and all the other good things we want to consciously refresh or keep the same.

Hope to see you there!
