Skywatch Lauwersoog gets big turnout despite severe weather.

Personal report by Minja de Bruijn.

Saturday 24-08-2024 was finally the day of the Skywatch with Anton Teuben and Saskia Bosman!

From the way there we were pretty bothered by the weather and for a moment I wondered what we had gotten ourselves into and if everything was going to be okay, because what a severe weather this was! A complete cloudburst, thunder and a storm that rocked the car back and forth, over 80 people on the field, waiting in their cars and campers for it to dry up a bit and for the storm to pass….
But of course we didn’t let this weather deter us from anything and we patiently waited for our moment to build up.

When Saskia and Elma’s meditation for better weather was done in Elma’s car, it cleared up pretty quickly and we were able to get out to finally greet each other. And how nice it was to finally see so many familiar faces in real life!
Just before we started setting up the party tent, a group walked across the dike to start a meditation, led by Saskia, to make contact with the dolphins and porpoises.

When we finally got there, we had everything set up and everyone had found a spot in the large circle, I took a good look around.
I saw 83 people seated, plus another 100 people in the Zoom meeting, all with focus, good sense and above all good intentions.
What a club we had got together! And everything seemed to be going well now so I was proud of us.

Saskia started a new meditation, with which we made one big connection as a group. In this meditation she spoke of a pink orb of energy in our center. This pink orb was photographed by someone in the group, you can find it in the footage as well. I felt the connection clearly, very special. Out of curiosity and to see if everything around me was going well, I peeked around me from time to time. I saw the concentration in all the faces, felt the unity of such a large group and I was impressed by that.

After Saskia’s first meditation, all eyes opened and I saw the expectant glances to the sky. Extraordinary cloud formations were visible. In some places round openings appeared in the dense clouds; these openings were somewhat illuminated.

From then on we were busy taking photos and videos, keeping ourselves warm with blankets and coffee & tea and more meditations led by Saskia and Anton, among other things.
Occasionally we had to take shelter again under the awning of the party tent and in our cars and campers.

The later it got, the more images and experiences were shared and I realized that this had become a great and successful evening!
Nonetheless, of course we were all hoping for life-size ships within reach, this was of course the intention we had set as a group so here and there disappointment was evident.

But when I look at what we did accomplish, after the whole Skywatch first literally threatened to fall into the water, I am quite satisfied. See the images below! It was the first Skywatch for me, so maybe I’m a bit prejudiced….
But the sounds of the “die hards” who stayed until sunrise share the same opinion. They even saw a whole fleet coming towards them, see the images of it below!

All things together; as far as I’m concerned, absolutely worth repeating, only with a little more accommodation. Or better weather…

We are thinking about organizing a new Skywatch on 24-05-2025 (actually 25-05-2025), so keep an eye on our website and Zoom broadcasts!
