ZeeVELD is home to the Jan XVII Foundation, a monastic laboratory where we research new ways and words for the Christian contemplative monastic tradition.

Our mission: 'May all be one'. Read here about our background and goals.

To cut a long story short: we are in constant training to do usual things in an unusual manner. It helps us see nobody and nothing as 'normal' anymore, and everything and everybody as sacred, special and connected. As one and whole.  

The name of our foundation is taken from the gospel of John, XVII: 21 'That they may be one.'

Jan XVII has developed its own school of training: Liber: "Coming home in your free will".
