Outrageous Love Workshops
The Outrageous Love Festival gives you an unprecedented opportunity to embody Outrageous Love through a unique series of top-notch workshops. This page contains descriptions of the workshops and sessions. As always, we are committed to bringing you only the best of embodiment and practice sessions, facilitated by our team of senior practitioners.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PROGRAM BELOW WAS FOR LAST YEAR AND IS ONLY DISPLAYED HERE AS A SAMPLE OF WHAT TO EXPECT. WHILE THE STRUCTURE OF OUR DAYS DOESN’T CHANGE, THE CONTENT FOR THE WORKSHOPS VARIES ACCORDING TO HOW THE DHARMA UNFOLDS DURING THE WEEK.
WE WILL POST A TENTATIVE PROGRAM FOR OUR WORKSHOPS BY THE END OF JUNE.
Keynote Teachings
Marc Gafni
Dr Marc Gafni teaches on the cutting edge of philosophy in the West. He is deeply committed to evolving a new dharma; a meta theory of integral meaning that will re- shape key and pivoting points in consciousness and culture.
Marc’s brilliant integration of mind and heart allows for a transmission that is direct and touches people in various and unique ways. For some, it is experienced as an epiphany of the mind. Others might experience a great opening of the heart or feel touched intimately in ways that they might not be able to really grasp or describe. Again others will experience energetic awakenings. And for some, the transmission might be very quiet and take months to land into their consciousness.
Marc’s greatest gift of all is that he loves each person that he meets on his path outrageously and he has a unique capacity to make everyone feel included and addressed. You’ll understand why people call him a spiritual artist.
Early Morning Practice
James Bampfield, Veronica Verhees & Petrus Ruys
Waking up your body, mind and soul is part of our daily routine. Through various forms of meditation and Qi Gong you will achieve just that. A wonderful preparation for the rest of your day!
Qi Gong
Every day, 9:15 – 10:00 AM
Veronica Verhees & Petrus Ruys
Qi Gong is a 2000 year old Chinese art in movement, which helps to bring body and mind in balance. Visualisation and self-massage are combined in order to activate the self healing capacity of the body. Therefore movements are soft, natural, round and continuous.
Qi means energy, internal force, life force. Gong means work, repetition and dedication. So Qigong is about mastering the energy of life in movements.
Evolutionary Satsang
Every day, 10:45 – 11:30 AM
Chahat Aden Corten
This Intimate gathering is embedded deeply within our community. It is an important tool to build our field of Outrageous Love. Come and sit with us and show yourself, where you are in the moment. Everything is welcome. Your story, your questions, your musings on life, something beautiful you want to show us, something difficult that you want to share or if you simply want to be held by the community. We are all on the same path, be it with different details. It doesn’t matter when or where your journey started. It doesn’t matter where you are on the path…. The only thing that matters is that you are willing to bring your offering in the Light of Outrageous Love. So that the Light of Consciousness will shine on all of us and our meeting will reveal its Gift to us as we sit together in Evolutionary Satsang.
Musical opening
Saturday, 7:45 PM
Festival band: Being, Alive and Awake
‘Being, Alive and Awake’ is the name we started with a few years ago, singing popular love songs ‘with a deeper meaning’. To us, the love in the songs was not merely personal love; although we all cherish it for sure! When we sing about Love it is always connected to the larger field of meaning; The amazing, shocking and astonishing phenomenon of Love that we are and that is expressed in every moment in our existence, in our Universe. In studying with Dr. Marc we all deepened in that realization and the Joy of singing at our outrageous Love Festivals is not only a true JOY, it is also a moment where we can experience and express our depth. At this moment we also take time in exploring and expressing Outrage f.i. in a song as ‘Eye of the Tiger’.
We can’t wait to be with you all again.

Claire Molinard and James Bampfield
Our workshops at the Outrageous Love Festival are emergent by nature, and they arise from a place of receiving the dharma transmission from Dr. Marc during the Festival. According to what will arise after Dr. Marc’s previous session, James and Claire will co-create a 90-minute experience aiming to facilitate integration and embodiment of the teachings.
James and Claire bring together decades of experience in spiritual practice, practice design and facilitation. They are looking forward to dancing together again for the 4th time this year, in this hybrid Online/ in person space of the Festival.
