Vrouwen zonder papieren vertellen hun ervaringsverhalen

In mei bracht de organisatie Dokters van de Wereld "Vrouwen op de vlucht" uit, een boek met indrukwekkende ervaringsverhalen van vrouwen zonder verblijfsrecht. Het gaat om vrouwen die hun land zijn ontvlucht omdat hun leven daar in gevaar was. Zij hebben gezien hoe familieleden en vrienden zijn vermoord, ze zijn verkracht, gemarteld en in gevangenissen opgesloten. Ze hoopten in Nederland bescherming en veiligheid te krijgen, maar moeten hier vanwege de maatschappelijke uitsluiting noodgedwongen op straat leven.

Verhoog de druk op de pietofielen van winkeliersvereniging Reigersbos!

Eergisteren voerden zo'n dertig demonstranten in Amsterdam Zuidoost actie tegen de winkeliersvereniging Reigersbos, die een Sinterklaas-intocht met de racistische Zwarte Piet-figuur organiseerde. Het samenwerkingsverband Stop Blackface roept op om de druk op de vereniging op te voeren door klachten te sturen en door de winkel van verenigingsvoorzitter Hans Visser te gaan boycotten. Visser blijft namelijk weigeren om zich iets aan te trekken van de kritiek op het Zwarte Piet-racisme. En wie niet horen wil, die moet maar eens voelen.

Weer een strijdbaar weekend voor een Sinterklaasfeest voor iedereen

Het afgelopen weekend vonden er twee inspirerende en effectieve acties tegen Zwarte Piet plaats. Het derde weekend op rij waarin anti-racistische activisten van zich laten horen op dit thema, na de succesvolle demonstraties in Meppel op 14 november en in Enkhuizen tegen het Pietendorp op 22 november. Het patroon van de actie in Enkhuizen herhaalde zich dit weekend in Amsterdam en Utrecht: fysiek en verbaal geweld tegen demonstranten, maar ook steun en hoopvolle discussies met omstanders.

Agenda

7 december, Stadskanaal: politiek café "Worstelen met de Sociale Dienst"

"Steeds meer mensen die in de bijstand belanden, zien door de bomen het bos niet meer. Ze moeten werken zonder loon, worden bij de kleinste fouten gekort op hun uitkering of moeten soms tientallen sollicitatiebrieven per week schrijven. Hierdoor komt het voor dat bedrijven en gemeenten over de rug van mensen met een bijstandsuitkering geld verdienen, terwijl bijstandsgerechtigden zelf niet of nauwelijks rond kunnen komen", zo schrijft de FNV-werkgroep Lokaal Zuidoost Groningen in haar uitnodiging voor het politiek café. De opzet daarvan is vergelijkbaar met eerdere bijeenkomsten in Rotterdam en Zoetermeer, met veel ruimte voor vragen en vertellen van de eigen ervaringen met bijvoorbeeld dwangarbeid. Bijeenkomst. Maandag 7 december. Van 19:30 tot 21:30 uur. Best Western, Raadhuisplein 30, Stadskanaal. Lees meer: http://www.doorbraak.eu/7-december-stadskanaal-politiek-cafe-worstelen-met-de-sociale-dienst/

The World Hunger-Food Choice Connection: A Summary

The World Hunger-Food Choice Connection: A Summary

April 22, 2012 at 12:36 PM

During many of my lectures, I have been asked to discuss world hunger as it relates to our food choices because it is a very serious and complicated issue. One billion people in the world suffer from hunger and six million children will die from starvation this year, as they did in 2011. The reality of these figures should be as startling to you as they are to me.
We all seem to have difficulty understanding how our choices, particularly regarding items we consume such as food, could possibly have an impact on something or someone elsewhere in the world. It is so very difficult to see, feel, or extend beyond the microcosm or bubble each of us finds ourselves living within. After all, if it is not directly in our sight, it must not real.
Although having many layers of complexity, to most observers the reason we have world hunger is because of poverty. While on its simplest level this is true, animal based food production systems are directly responsible for many factors affecting hunger, starvation—and even poverty, which then, cycles itself back to hunger.
This correlation between animal (livestock and fish) based food production systems and world hunger is, of course, fueled by the demand for these products and can be found in generalized global factors as well as on a very local basis or regionally within countries where hunger rates are high. Together, these two categories of factors (global and local) insidiously manifest themselves in many ways.
There are two primary groups of people suffering from this poverty-hunger cycle—about 33% are those living in more urban settings (this is the case with those found in the U.S. and other developed countries), while the other 2/3 are those in rural and more undeveloped nations. For both groups, the raising and eating animals (livestock and fish) by our global community ultimately affects food prices, food availability, policy making, and even education to improve agricultural systems in those developing countries. Global factors include control of seed manufacturing and pricing primarily for livestock feed crops by large companies such as Monsanto and DuPont (Pioneer), buying and selling of grain including futures by Archer Daniel Midland, Cargill and through the processing/slaughterhouses and packaging by Cargill, Swift, Tyson, and JBS. These few but very large and powerful companies control over 65% of all seed, grain, and over 80% of all final animal products in the world. It is a very monopolized production and economic system manufacturing seeds at one end and spewing out meat at the other. Because of the global demand for meat (all livestock), cultural, social, political, and economic influences remain strongly supportive of the continued dominance of these large companies and the meat, dairy, and fishing industries in general, which then drives how global resources are being used (land, water, rainforests, oceans, atmosphere, biodiversity, etc.), how money is spent, and how policies are determined. The demand for animal products in developed countries drives resource depletion in developing countries as well as exacerbating poverty and hunger.
Realize that 82% of the world's starving children live in countries where food is fed to animals that are then killed and eaten by more well off individuals in developed countries like the US, UK, and in Europe.  One fourth of all grain produced by third world countries is now given to livestock, in their own country and out.
Globally, even with climate change issues and weather extremes, we are producing enough grain to feed two times as many people as there are in the world. In 2011, there was a record harvest of grain globally, with over 2.5 billion tons, but half of that was fed to animals in the meat and dairy industries. Seventy seven percent of all coarse grains (corn, oats, sorghum, barley, etc.) and over 90% of all soy grown in the world was fed to livestock. So clearly the difficulty is not how can we produce enough food to feed the hungry, but where all the food we produce globally is going, in addition to the other factors of pricing, policy making, and education. This will certainly become more of an issue as our planet's human population extends beyond 9 billion before the year 2050.
On a local basis, specific animal based agriculture simply perpetuates both poverty and hunger. This is true whether in urban, industrialized countries, which are affected by all those factors mentioned above, or in rural developing countries. As an example, in Ethiopia, over 60% of their population is considered hungry or starving, and yet they have 50 million cattle in that country (one of the largest herds in the world), unnecessarily consuming their food, land, and water. More than 2/3 of Ethiopia's topsoil has been lost due to raising cattle. Many countries elsewhere in Africa and in the Amazonian region that suffer from hunger raise cattle inefficiently at the expense of their soil, localized climate, and other resources while producing a fraction of the food they could if converting to plant based foods. This is because of their  very powerful cultural factors to raise cattle as well as demand globally and by neighboring countries.
More than 66% of the world's poorest people (those living on $2 or less per day) live in rural areas and rely on natural resources for their existence. Global demand and production of fish and livestock has reduced traditional fishing stocks and decimated coral reef systems for indigenous people living on coasts and islands, shriveled and segmented million year old forests. This will only exacerbate world poverty and hunger because while remote from those who consume animal products, it is the world of the indigenous and the very natural resources they have relied on for centuries.
So, how would conversion to plant-based, local agriculture systems change this? Hunger and poverty, in many cases, exist as a circling phenomenon, whereby one perpetuates the other. Addressing the hunger issue will help solve the poverty issue. It has been shown that growth in the agricultural sector of a developing nation is two times more effective than growth in any other area including economics. This is because in Africa and most other developing countries where there is poverty and hunger, over 75% of the working force is engaged in agriculture. Ethiopia has 95% of its income dependent upon agriculture. However, at the same time that agricultural growth is needed, it must be in organic plant based systems because this would be the most efficient use of their resources—many of which are already critically diminished such as water and land.
Instead of using their food, water, topsoil, and massive amounts of land, and energy to raise livestock, Ethiopia could for instance grow teff, an ancient and quite nutritious grain. Seventy percent of all their cattle are raised pastorally in the highlands of that country where less than 100 pounds of meat and a few gallons of milk are produced per acre of land used. If this land were used for the growing of teff, Ethiopians could produce over 2,000 pounds of food per one acre with no water irrigation. The end product could provide a much greater amount of much needed nutrients and even stimulate improved economics with business opportunities to sell teff (as well as many other types of produce) to other countries. Therefore, conversion to plant based food systems for local regions in developing countries would feed more people more nutritiously with more efficient use of their resources, improve long term soil fertility, create economic opportunities, all of which would provide a path toward breaking the poverty and hunger cycle.
Nearly all researchers on this topic could agree that while there are many complex layers of influences related to hunger and that war and repressive government regimes as well as climate extremes all play a role, the most significant are poverty, lack of natural resources and inefficient use of the resources they do have. And although other influences certainly may also play a role in poverty, the most significant and long-term factor that can be changed is with the development of new plant based organic agricultural systems and the education to do so. It is what we have the most control over, with the most profound impact. It must begin, though, with education and an example of this can be found in the Machakos district of south Kenya. This is a poor area economically as well as from a soil fertility standpoint and they are many times in the midst of an unstable, if not repressive, government. Nevertheless, a program was implemented teaching the women farmers, (more than 50% of the farmers in African countries are women) techniques such as erosion and rainwater control with terracing. They began focusing on organic, plant based foods instead of livestock or animal feed crops, and their yields improved by more than 50%, now using produce to feed more people and even creating business opportunities that are selling items such as green beans to other countries.
In developing countries elsewhere, organic plant based agricultural systems have been shown to improve yields by as much as 400%, with an average of 150%. While most researchers and organizations involved in the plight of nations suffering from hunger inherently feel that improved information technologies, increasing intensified livestock operations, and fostering the continuation of cultural practices are where energy and dollars should be spent, I can see many difficulties with that approach. Instead, I feel that the emphasis should be placed on education, redefining the word "yield" beyond short term consumptive gain, and providing guidance for the implementation of fully organic plant based agricultural systems. This is the best way to improve soil fertility for the future, provide the most nutritious food at the least cost to their environment, while opening the doors to economic opportunities—thus, "feeding themselves" and creating a food, economic, and environs security net despite what repressive forces may surround them or they may encounter.
We must remember that although climate change and extremes of water conditions from floods to droughts do obviously exist, much of the soil fertility issues that are faced by developing countries in Africa and elsewhere who have high rates of hunger and malnutrition are derived from how they have managed (or mismanaged) their own agricultural systems over the past 100 years. It would be difficult to blame any other reason than their use of livestock—their complete cultural dependence on cattle. In many areas of Africa, poorly managed cattle herds have caused severe overgrazing, deforestation, and then subsequent erosion and eventual desertification. On average, 1/2 to 2/3 of all the topsoil has been lost across the entire African continent with some areas experiencing complete topsoil loss.  Allocation of the 2.5 billion tons of grain produced globally to people instead of animals, elimination of livestock based agricultural systems globally and locally, education of all small stakeholders and governments in developing countries for furthering organic plant based systems, and of course increased global awareness of these issues and the development of a collective consciousness will help eradicate world hunger as well as many other concerns along the way.
The World Hunger Service and the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations stated in 2011, regarding world hunger: "The principal problem is that many people in the world do not have sufficient land to grow, or income to purchase, enough food."
And, therein lies the problem—explaining why there has been no progress. This statement vividly illustrates the quite narrowed, simplified view of the very institution that is leading efforts to solve world hunger.
Let's do our part in reducing world hunger and poverty by increasing awareness about changing to a fully plant based diet. Let's raise and mobilize the collective conscience. We can do this.

to have a beautiful experiences supported by nature,
to start with delicious, heart warming and healthy habits for the New Year.

Don't hesitate to ask the questions  mgriks@gmail.com

New Year - New Way of Celebrating our Lives Together

Lets' celebrate our lives in a different manner. Lets' connect, party, awaken our senses, experience more the shift between female and male energies within ourselves and others. 

This is the program:

We start 31.12.15 morning with:

Connection

Nowadays, in modern times thankful to advanced technology we could contact each other even when we are thousands kilometres away. However, luckily, connecting to each other means so much more.
The connection part of the New Year Program is meant
to connect beyond capacity of mobile phones,
to build Friendship with big "F", deeper than making hundreds friends on facebook,
to feel Love with big "L" deeper than sending ♥ through internet
to connect with real
nature beyond the discovery channel
To find our deep nature, to connect with ourselves and other participants maybe deeper than you ever did even with your friends, with your family.
Tantra gives us tools to connect with all parts of you, connect with yourself, then connect with your partner, group, family, other people, animals, nature and whole universe. Beautiful slogan "We are one!" tantra is transforming from believe in to real experience. If you allow yourself to feel it, you would never be the same. You would never love in the same way.
That's why we choose this workshop in the beginning.



Then the Connection is followed in afternoon by Dance with Tantra ( preparation for the evening ) .

Like all my invitations, you may already learn and experience something very useful from them. But only when you read it with your heart and follow with your body... when you allow yourself to use it differently, from different perspectives, with alternative energies, feelings, perspectives, use it, not lose it :)

There are a few passions in my life. One of course is tantra, so being love, making love, giving and receiving love. The other passion is dancing, which is very connected to tantra. Like making love, massage (my other passion ) and dancing are best if I let my mind go. This is not a time for thinking; it is time for feeling. To fall into dance, to follow the sound or even become a sound, to unite with the music. Being tuned like an instrument, fully harmonised with the music. Here and now. Observing and Letting go of all your thoughts. When we are able to be in that state there is more space for our heart, for our body. Then it is easier to make the connection. Deepening into ourselves... into others.

This is my journey that I would like to share with you.
To get more connected we will use some tantric methods like shaking off stress, dancing with blindfolds, different music and movements activating different glands, hormones and different chakras. We will use various touches and approaches. We will awake ecstatic dance in you :

Then in the evening and night:
Lets' PARTY!

In the old new year evening we going to do Tantra Movement Play party. We going to play whole night nice, sensual music, where you could practice and enjoy all the tricks what you learnt at previous workshop. We would prepare for you three magical spaces. One where you could play the awakening the senses game, the other where you could massage each other and third where you could communicate best in the tantric way. Around 12.00 we would have for you surprise act. All of it in conscious, respectful but still sensual and tantric friendly atmosphere.  This party would be also open for people out of the workshop structure, so all your friends are welcome to join. Just notice that this party is not about to get drunk but more rather to deep in to awareness of conscious love and intimacy.

After having good sleep 1.1.2016 afternoon we would go further in to new year in the most beautiful way, what we could imagine:

Journey to Awaken the Senses

Listen to the quiet whispers of your own body.
Shhhh.....


When we fully experience our senses, we enter into the heart, into love with existence. And instead of thinking about and analysing the world, we love it, we feel it, we become a part of it. We experience the bliss, ecstasy and deep fulfilment that can come to us through our senses.

To practise this, we do a ritual that awakens each sense in turn and allow ourselves to absorb this bliss in our hearts. This is a totally yummy, delicious and deep meditation that touches the body, heart and soul. For anyone who wants to expand the experience of their senses or use the body as a gateway to the self. Done to each other it is a great way to connect and feel gratitude and more love and sympathy for your partner. It awakens the child in us, a child who is playing the adult games of love...

2.1.2016 in the morning we go deeper in to:

Introduction to Tantra Massage

You can learn and feel what sacred touch is, so that you can allow healing energy of love into your body and life. It helps to recover energy, raise awareness of the body- is an Introduction to tantric sex, develops our potential for love.
It is not possible to mention all the benefits of tantric massage but first of all it is an experience of deep inner joy, bliss, cleansing, peace and ecstasy.
In tantric massage we will mainly focus on the feelings of the body, being present here and now, and not only on the techniques .

We want to ensure that participants will experience touch, that they open up for receiving and giving on the body level, that they open up for feeling the pleasure of being a giver and receiver of a massage, to go deep into the levels of feeling pleasure, bliss, and flow of the love energy, to free the space for the flow of life energy.



...and in afternoon
 
Male and Female Energies workshop

Nowadays not so many people are aware that within us exist male and female energy. Doesn't matter what sex we are, from balance of those energies depends our health, our contentment, our happiness and fulfilment in our relationships.
At this workshop we would met our inner woman and man within us. We would recognise their energies. We would hear from them how is to live with us, what are their needs, what are concerns. How we can improve their (our) life...

Besides of that we would get to know and experience the differences between male and female bodies. We would learn how to approach them in the way, that beautiful sexual energy of love would flow freely, would not be forced or imposed on someone and would not be blocked by misunderstanding which lead to unhealthy behaviour.

The tantric path opens us to experience our own, our partner's and group's deep energy levels. Thankful Tantric and sexual Tao techniques, we become aware of subtle energies which link the apparent opposites: spirit and matter, sexuality and spirituality, light and darkness, consciousness and unconscious, masculinity and femininity.

By using the keys to the door of connections, to regain our inner strength, we are giving right direction to the flow of energy.

3.1.2016 in the morning

Kashmiric Tandava Dance Massage

Like from all my invitations, especially from this one you may already learn something very useful.

Breath in and out. In and out. Become aware of your breath. How it passes through nostrils, how is filling up your lungs, chest, belly, even ho it reaches your toes and top of your head. Notice how with awareness to your breath you become very calm but energised and more alive at the same time .

Notice how by observing your breath, you entered the bridge to here and now. By being focus on your breath you created the inner space of awareness what is leaving behind all your thoughts, all your worries, fears...

Now become aware of the movement created by your breath. Your chest, your belly is expanding. Observe that movement for a while then begin to follow the breath with your body. Extend that movement. Let your spine bend following the belly. Let your pelvic tilt. Then slowly gradually involve the rest of your body: the neck, shoulders, knees, elbows...

Now you begin the dance of your breath. There could be music in the background but this time you dance to your breath. Let your body follow the breath. Do all the movements what would come without thinking. Breath in. Breath out.

Then after that preparation we would go for Kashmiric dance massage what would also follow your breath with deep, floating, intuitive movement. Long, energetic and fluent strokes coming from the breath would bring us in very meditative but dynamic atmosphere, where receiver would surrender in to the moment and to the love itself.

It will make you feel safe in the ultimate dimension. It will bring you closer to yourself in deep connection.



...and afternoon

Sharing

After all these beautiful, deep, enriching experiences we will share our experiences to connect on verbal level, to build better understanding and awareness.

... and Closing Ritual

This Tantra festival concerns surrender. There are old stories about hunters who thank their prey before they kill it and the animal is in total surrender towards this hunter. Surrender to what is here and now on your path... how difficult is this... how do you cope with your mind yelling at you, bringing stress about your desires, wishes, actions? when is it content? Don't you long for a life as a real human instead of going on like a robot without feeling anything anymore? This festival is about challenging this mind, confusing it by touch and orientation..in a light joyful way, with compassion of the heart. Helping it to surrender, thanking it for keeping you going..until now. We are going to slow down in dance and contact movements and meditations, which awaken your unconscious longings for sensing, tasting, enjoying and love...

Come and join us in this safe and inviting tantric freezone, where we can share, grow and celebrate life under all circumstances!

That is no problem, because, our experience is that you most of the times will be in, within a few days. But in that case it can take some time till you will receive a confirmation. Please register in time to avoid disappointment.

We wish you a another beautiful festival,
The Tantra Full Moon team

Dit Tantra festival gaat over overgave. Er zijn oude verhalen over jagers bekend, die hun prooi bedankten voor deze gedood werd. En het dier gaf zich daarbij helemaal over aan de jager. Overgave aan wat er zich hier en nu voordoet op je pad, hoe moeilijk is dat... hoe ga je om met die mind die naar je schreeuwt, stress brengt vanwege je wensen, verlangens en daden? Wanneer is die schreeuwlelijk tevreden? Wil je leven als een mens en niet als een robot die maar doorgaat tot hij niets meer voelt?
Dit festival gaat over het uitdagen van de mind, het in de war brengen door aanraking en oriëntatie, op een speelse manier, licht en met compassie vanuit het hart. We gaan onze gedachten loslaten en bedanken voor het op de been blijven..tot nu toe. We gaan vertragen in dans en contact, die je onbewuste sensaties wakker maken en leiden tot meer genieten, proeven van het leven en liefhebben...

Kom en doe met ons mee in deze veilige en uitnodigende tantrische speelplaats, waar we kunnen delen, groeien en ons leven vieren onder alle omstandigheden! Het festival is geschikt voor zowel beginners als gevorderden. Breng vriend en vijand mee en verbind met onvoorwaardelijke liefde en compassie.

NB*:
Het komt voor dat we mannen en vrouwen bij aanmelding tijdelijk op de wachtlijst plaatsen, om de balans tussen man en vrouwen energie te behouden. Dat is geen probleem, want de ervaring leert dat je meestal binnen een paar dagen toch op de deelnemerslijst komt. We wachten dan wel even met het sturen van de bevestiging. Meld je wel op tijd aan om teleurstelling te voorkomen.
