A weekend at Klooster Westerhûs. Date: Friday, October 23 - Sunday, October 25, 2026
Do you long for peace and quiet and want to experience what silence brings you? Then come and experience a weekend of silence at Klooster Westerhûs. The monastery rhythm with its recurring moments of silence is the bedding for this weekend. With simple methods you will discover what helps you to be still. Contemplative writing, for example, or silk drawing. What does silence have to tell you?
This weekend is organized in honor of the Day of Silence on Sunday, Oct. 25.
Jolante Roeters and Anne Marie van der Werf are the facilitators. Since Pentecost 2023, they have been kleasterling outside the gate. Both seek ways to give silence a place in their lives. Jolante seeks silence by bringing simplicity into her life, Anne Marie by being present in the moment.
