How do we deal with mourning and loss nowadays? Life is a succession of transitional moments, major and minor connections that inevitably change you. The decreasing importance of traditional rituals to experience transitional moments has resulted in a search for alternatives.

The Monastery is coming to the Kaaistudios for the fourth time, to close the RE:RITE season with a final day of rituals. You can join this experimental spiritual urban community for one ritual or for the whole day, to become conscious of your entire being and of everything going on around you. The rituals during this closing event are focused on ‘Buying Time’: how can we redefine our approach to time and our perception of public space.

RE:RITE of Passage

All arrivers are connected by one thing: the search for ways to become rooted in a new city with other customs and conventions, and to forge relationships with its inhabitants. To explore ideas about life in a shared city, artists Paulo Guerreiro and Fleur Khani invited a diverse group of people over the last few months. Through the power of old and new rituals, they developed a laboratory full of open-mindedness, body and voice practices, writing, listening, and most of all… a deep sense of belonging.

We create a qualitative moment in which we become silent for a moment and share a part of our experience with each other. Each in his or her way: by telling something, by listening, by a piece of music, by an image... Being present is sufficient, everyone can take the floor, but you don't have to.

The Monastery is returning to the Kaaistudios – which has become a familiar environment – for a special, two-day event. This time, A-LIFE combines the celebration of spring with the queerness of practice during an experimental monastic happening for women, men, and those who have left this binary far behind. Expect a monastic day in silence – with the occasional rave – in which you deconstruct and deepen the aesthetics of the monk.

In Buddhist monasteries, people learn through meditation to look at life from the perspective of their own mortality. Robert Steijn has turned this meditative practice into a ritual. Together, you will walk around the city, as though you were taking this walk for the last time.

In the whirlwind of work, relationships, deadlines and discussions, we sometimes get distracted from the most important things in life: feeling alive and being conscious of our entire being and everything around you. The Monastery is an experimental spiritual urban community that aims to do exactly that: by performing daily rituals and making every action an intense experience.
