🙏🏻 ✨️ ❤️ 🙏🏻 ✨️ ❤️ THE WAY OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR 🙏🏻 ✨️ ❤️ Ton van der Kroon, 1,09K abonnees, 7 jul 2025 🙏🏻 ✨️ ❤️ A SUMMER RETREAT FOR MEN, Aug 6-10, Tomar, Portugal 🙏🏻 ✨️ ❤️ Ton van der Kroon & Eran Markose 🙏🏻 ✨️ ❤️ Welcome to this special summer retreat for men, in which we will explore the Way of the Peaceful Warrior. We will do this in the beautiful setting of Tomar, the ancient capital of the Templars in Portugal. This retreat is a follow up of our online course ‘sacred warriors’ in 2024, and the men’s gatherings in Sinai in the last 3 years. 🙏🏻 ✨️ ❤️ “The time has come for the peaceful warrior. The warrior that doesn’t use violence or war to reach its goals, but the warrior that acts from the heart. Its ‘weapons’ are compassion, love and wisdom. And its enemies are ignorance, judgement and hatred. Its arrows are not pointed at any specific person or group, because the peaceful warrior knows we are all human beings trying to find our way out of the claws of illusion. We are all caught in the web of ‘samsara’ and to free ourselves we have to liberate first our own mind and release our negative emotions. 🙏🏻 ✨️ ❤️ This is no easy practice. That’s why it takes a warrior’s mind: To be sharp, relentless and yet compassionate and wise. Each one of us has a favourite enemy: someone or something that we want to fight. Could be our father or mother, our leaders or any other authority figure; could be our neighbours, other people, the system, the bad guys, another religion, another race. We can even want to fight ourselves and fight an inner battle. To get out of the fight- and survive modus it takes a lot of courage, wisdom and strength. But in the end it is rewarding on many levels. 🙏🏻 ✨️ ❤️ 🙏🏻 ✨️ ❤️ To bring peace to the world, we first have to bring peace and healing to our own mind and soul. Yes, there is darkness, injustice, war and suffering. Yet, how can we avoid to contribute to it, knowingly or unknowingly. This is the Way of the Peaceful Warrior.’ 🙏🏻 ✨️ ❤️ THE GUIDES Ton van der Kroon is a pioneer of men’s work for over 30 years, giving workshops for men in the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, Israel, Gaza and Sinai.
