Feed The Source Foundation
The foundation was established on December 13, 2023, by Frans-Willem Deliën and Jeanne Specht Grijp out of a desire to ensure the viability of both the inner development trajectories we offer and the guided one- and multi-day pilgrimages we organize along the River Rhine. Based on our social responsibility, a non-profit foundation is the appropriate legal entity to give Feed the Source its place. For us, profit is not about money, but about the value our regenerative contribution can deliver to an educational, loving, and livable world.
GOAL
The following goals and approach are formulated in the statutes of the Feed the Source foundation:
- Using the River Rhine as the connection to the flow of life, the foundation aims to enable people to make a leap in consciousness by (re)connecting with Pure Water as the source of all life. The foundation achieves this by developing and organizing pilgrimages along the river. Of importance here is cleansing and nourishing oneself, both during one-day and multi-day pilgrimages, as well as in optional preceding self-development days—in the broadest sense of the word. It is the foundation's intention to set people in motion, both physically and intrinsically, so that they can subsequently translate the insights and experiences gained into their daily actions.
- The foundation approaches its objective from the perspective that we are all part of a large, interconnected whole, in which the (re)connection with the source is central, by nourishing it and being nourished by it with love, gratitude, and joy. The foundation does all this from the perspective of stimulating the intergenerational connectedness of at least three generations, in a way that supports the livability and viability of all life.
HOW TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL
- developing and providing programs in preparation for the pilgrimages
- developing, organizing, and guiding one-day and multi-day pilgrimages
- het organizing and participating in concrete cleaning and purification activities of rivers;
- organizing and holding meetings and presentations/lectures/presentations
- developing, organizing, and conducting workshops and inspiration sessions
- designing and organizing educational programs
- designing, producing and selling products that support the goal
- organizing other activities surrounding the objective, in the broadest sense of the word
The foundation approaches its objective from the perspective that the whole is greater than the sum of its individual parts, and that external, physical work and inner transformational work interlock and reinforce each other.
