Association CENTER EDUCATIF 'The Natural Time'
An association in parts.
After the purchase of the ruins around the turn of the century, a lot of cleaning up had to be done. Many volunteers helped in this in spartan conditions. In 2005 we started organizing our first festivals and founded our association Center Educatif 'de Natuure Tijd'. The aim of the association is to give people the space to share. That is a broad concept with which a lot is possible.
There is no association without members.
To participate you must become a member. (see opposite) As a member you can stay overnight for €6 per night and use sanitary facilities, toolsand our knowledge to e.g. carving stone, modeling with clay, working wood or other hand skills.
A newsletter for members is published four times a year with a look back at the previous season, illustrated with photos that give a good idea of the dynamics at De Natuure Tijd.
2005:
The board meets at
Center Educatif 'Natural Time'

Join can be done by transferring €10 to IBAN NL 16 ABNA 0602069572 and sending an email with details to hans.roverts@gmail.com
Are you planning to come? then you can also pay the contribution on the spot. For payment from abroad: BIC ABNANL2A
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Use, but don't abuse!
In principle, this rule - as a house rule - should be enough and fortunately it usually is. Where necessary, additional information is available on site, e.g. waste separation, use of sanitary facilities, use of the internet, etc.
Enough is enough
Life with us in De Natuure Tijd is basic. A step back to our nature is at the same time a step away from our culture of luxury and excessive consumption.
To keep costs as low as possible, we want to encourage our guests to be conscious about the use of energy and facilities. It is customary for the broken jar to also be paid for.

Association in parts
The permanent residents like to share their space, they also like to share the responsibility. It is greatly appreciated if everyone thinks along and cooperates to keep the place as pleasant as possible for everyone.PartDe Natuure Tijd in particular requires good communication, respect, responsibility and trust.
Lack stimulates creativity
It's not that we want want, we want abundance! It is part of our philosophy that creativity is stimulated when we consider something desirable and spending money is not the first option. It gives a lot of satisfaction to to create with what is at hand. Nature is our hardware store. In addition, it gives some extra life energy by occasionally stepping out of the comfort zone and then starting to appreciate the ordinary again.
Common sense
You are good the way you are, but whether De Natuur Tijd is the place for this moment? Are our standards and values sufficiently similar? What is common sense? To get a feel for this, we use the principle of the 4 Playing Fields: Communication, Trust, Respect and Responsibility. This is where we get to know each other and there are normally no fixed rules at De Natuure Tijd, other than common sense.
