Skyyurt, Skystone & Nomad's Heart
A future project of Anda Foundation. Planned for 2030 and made possible through support and donations.
Introduction
The Skyyurt, the Skystone, and the Nomad’s Heart café together form the Skyhaven project of Anda Foundation. This project does not yet exist, but it is our heartfelt intention and commitment to bring it to life in 2030 at a special place in the Netherlands.
With this initiative we want to create a free and welcoming space in nature: a meditation place where everyone is welcome — regardless of religion, worldview, or background — and where silence is not something you have to buy, but something you are invited to remember.
It will be a place to be with yourself for a while. To meet your thoughts and feelings gently, without judgment. A space to breathe, slow down, and reconnect with yourself and with nature.
The Skyyurt – Silence under the Endless Sky
The Skyyurt is inspired by the traditional round tents of steppe peoples. Its interior is fully covered with nomadic carpets and cushions. The space is open to all religions and worldviews, and is meant to be a public place of stillness in Dutch nature.
- No chairs — everyone sits equally in the circle.
- Shoes off, silence within.
- Maximum stay of 60 minutes per person.
The Skystone – The And in Stone
Beside the Skyyurt rises the Skystone: a natural stone pillar about 2.5 meters high. The And — the Oath — will be engraved into it as a lasting symbol of loyalty, connection, and inner strength.
I swear that I will be a nomad, my heart open to everyone…
Nomad's Heart – Warmth and Dialogue
Where the Skyyurt brings silence and the Skystone anchors devotion, Nomad’s Heart offers warmth and encounter: a café for dialogue, philosophy, faith, and conversations about mental well-being.
- A safe space for mental and emotional challenges.
- Furnished like a living room with rugs, tea, and books.
- A bridge between inwardness and dialogue.
Why the Skyyurt exists
Anda Foundation is building something the Netherlands still largely lacks: a spiritual and meditative home in nature, open to everyone — without religious barriers, membership, or a price tag on silence.
Open spirituality, without a religious gate
A place for people of any belief — or none. No sacred language, no compulsory teaching, no single “right way.” Only room to be.
Safe and protected for all
Designed as a respectful, calm environment for women and men alike, where safety and dignity come first.
Silence and fire
Alongside stillness, there is warmth. We host evenings by the fire with music, stories, and singing — even if you’ve never sung before.
A cultural meeting place
A space where cultures and philosophies meet without one tradition dominating. Not a closed community; everyone is welcome with openness and respect.
Refuge from work and digital noise
In Nomad’s Heart you can read, sit quietly, or work on your laptop. There will be plugs and laptop-friendly spots where time is never a debt.
Home for poetry and meaning
A place to write and share in the footsteps of Rumi, Yunus Emre, Hadewijch, Thomas à Kempis, and other spiritual poets.
Body and mind together
Outdoor space for tai chi, yoga, breathwork, and a simple calisthenics gym — where inner peace and physical strength support each other.
Accessible by design
The Skyyurt is meant as a gift to society: low-threshold, donation-supported, and especially welcoming to those who often feel excluded from spiritual spaces.
Ultimately, the Skyyurt is an invitation to slow down — to breathe again, listen inwardly, and reconnect with nature and community.
