Day One, Friday, 21st September 2018 Helmy Abouleish gave the most breathtaking talk! Inspired by the talk given by Helmy Abouleish on 21st September 2018, Sameh Khouzam created a visual conceptualisation that makes visible many elements of the mission of SEKEM. Sameh combines symbols from Pharaonic times together with symbolic expressions that he creates himself. This drawing now waits for an artist to turn it into a final form. • Please click on the pictures above to see them larger. |

On 14th August 2017, the lovely teachers of the Renaissance College in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India, prepared a large table of gifts for the 'circle of love gifts' of our global dignity family!

19th September 2018: What a gift! Since 1985, Evelin has been searching for this opportunity! Evelin is appalled by the current trend to use microphones, loudspeakers, and electronic effects in music. In 1985, she was invited to a little group of musicians who played the lute and sang together without microphone or loudspeaker in a private home near Tahrir Square. After more than thirty years of searching, Magdy Ahmed Mohamed finally fulfilled Evelin's dream! Please listen to her favourite songs: • Zuruni kulli sana marra, a composition by Sayed Darwish (1) (see the lyrics) • Zuruni kulli sana marra, a composition by Sayed Darwish (2) (see the lyrics) • Amal hayati, a song first performed by famous Egyptian singer Om Kalthoum (see the lyrics) • Mohammed Abdel Wahab • Oh flower in my imagination (with tango rhythm), by Farid al - Atrash (see lyrics) • Aghadan al kaaq |

It was a great educational experience to be invited to participate in SEKEM's inner circle morning round and their practice of collective learning. When I had the privilege of participating, the following book was being studied: van Houten, Coenraad, and Sophie Pannitschka (2018). Erwachsenenbildung als Willenserweckung: Methodik und Didaktik erwachsenengerechten Lernens. Stuttgart, Germany: Freies Geistesleben. Summary: Wie verläuft der Prozess des Lernens beim Erwachsenen? Coenraad van Houten entwickelt aus den sieben Lebensprozessen die sieben Lernprozesse und leitet Lehrende und Lernende dazu an, in grundlegende Lernprozesse einzusteigen. Sophie Pannitschka hat diese Arbeitsweise von Anfang an begleitet und umgesetzt und deren Darstellung aktualisiert. |

2nd September 2018: What a privilege to meet Regina Hanel for the first time in person, after two years of email contact! It was a joy to show her the 'circle of love gifts' and offer her the red scarf sent to her from Fanny Duckert of the University of Oslo in Norway! • Please click on the pictures above or here to see them larger. |
| 1985, 1994, and 18th January 2007: The SEKEM initiative was founded 1977 in Egypt and received the RIGHT LIVELIHOOD AWARD also known as the “ALTERNATIVE NOBEL PRIZE” for 'establishing a business model for the 21st century in which commercial success is integrated with and promotes the social and cultural development of society through economics of love'. Evelin was aware of Sekem as far back as 1985, when she lived in Cairo and Sekem came with a Volkswagen bus to the German embassy once a week to offer their products. In 1994, she met Ragnhild Nilsen in Norway, head of Sekem Scandinavia, and she visited Sekem for the first time in 2007. Please see Konstanze Abouleish on the photo above, the manager of what was then called Conytex, producer of clothes. • Please click on the pictures above to see them larger. |
29th September 2018: Mary Bakhoum and Sameh Khouzam receive the Beacon of Dignity Award! |
27th September 2018: What a joy to be welcomed in the stables of Saber Abo Basha near the pyramids! |
27th September 2018: What an honour to be welcomed by Ikram Nosshi and Suzanne Wissa Wassef at the Wissa Wassef Arts Centre in Haraneyah near the pyramids of Giza, together with my adoptive mother Mary Bakhoum and her son Sameh! What a treasure this place is! It is a tragedy that the extraordinary architectural style of Wissa Wassef (and Hassan Fathy and Gamal Amer and others) is NOT being adopted as national architecture in Egypt! What a tragedy for the entire world - not just for Egypt - that money dictates everywhere, with the result that architecture serves money and not people! See the pictures at the bottom... |
19th September 2018: Thank you for your wisdom, dear Sameh Khouzam: In today's world, where only performance counts, the soul suffers. The soul has no speed that can be measured. The quality of the connection that relationships offer cannot be quantified. When the dog (the body) leads, even if it is running very fast and winning prices for speed, the soul will suffer. Only if the eagle (the soul) leads, can the dog (the body) fly. |
15th September 2018: How WONDERFUL to be in Sekem Ecovillage - or as Sameh formulated it, the Life Village of Sekem - together with my beloved Mary and dear brother Sameh! • Video |
15th September 2018: Sameh Khouzam was so kind and created a drawing that makes visible my 'journey from death back to life', a journey from seeing all the atrocities perpetrated on planet Earth by human beings on each other, to being lifted out into a brighter universe. See a video explanation from 15th September 2018 and hear the soundtrack of the film 2001: A Space Odyssee, that accompanied my 'Set years'. Akhet is an Egyptian hieroglyph that represents the hills where the sun rises or sets. Nut is the goddess of the sky in the Ennead of ancient Egyptian religion. She was seen as a star-covered nude woman arching over the earth. Set is a god of the desert, storms, disorder, violence, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion. |
I am extremely thankful to my father for giving me the love and inspiration I need to do my global dignity work. On 13th September 2018, in Cairo, Sameh Khouzam was so kind and created a sketch that makes visible all the elements of a loving relationship between father and daughter. In his drawing, Sameh combined symbols from Pharaonic times with the infinity symbol, together with symbolic expressions that he created himself. Thank you so much, dear Sameh, for this wonderful and highly sophisticated rendering of very complex relational elements! 'Let us dance on the top of all the hills all over the world Creating endless love'. 'Yala bina Norokos fok kol el donia nkhlek hob Ma losh nehaaiah'. See a video explanation. |
5th September 2018: How WONDERFUL to walk through the newly renovated Muizz street together with my dear brother Sameh! |
4th September 2018: What a privilege to reconnect with world-famous Hassan Fathi disciple Gamal Amer! The last time we saw each other was in 2007! See us at his marvellous Foustat Traditional Crafts Center, El-Imam Malik, Ad Deyorah, Misr Al Qadimah, Cairo, Egypt! |
1st September 2018: Thank you so much, dear Sameh, for this wonderful time at the north coast of Egypt, together with your dear mother! |
28th August 2018: Thank you so much, dear Katrina, for making me aware of this lovely concert in such a wonderful place! Georges Kazazian, musician, oudist, Egyptian from Arminian origins, played at the El Sawy Culturewheel. |
27th August 2018: I am grief-stricken when I see how the most beautiful spots on our planet are currently being destroyed: An investor purchases land, then he hires an architect who has a prototype of a villa or apartment in the drawer. The architect multiplies the prototype and arranges the copies on the given plot of land. The investor expects a return from selling or renting the units. |
27th August 2018: I was very impressed by the Sufi Dance by the El Tanoura Troupe in the wonderfully restored Sultan Al-Ghuri Complex. |
26th August 2018: What an immense joy to reconnect with old friends! Mohammed Bayoumi and Moustafa Hedayah! My great gratitude goes to you, dear friends! |
26th August 2018: One of the rakhi bracelets from India has now found a new owner! Moustafa's daughter will be delighted! Rakhi is a ceremony to nurture the bond of relationship between brothers and sisters... |
25th August 2018: I was back in Khan El-Khalili to get gifts for our 'circle of love gifts' for our conference next year in Brazil. |
25th August 2018: In this lovely place I spent so many nice hours with a cup of tea when I lived in Cairo from 1984 to 1991! |
21st August 2018: What an immense joy to be reconnected with the family of Abu Bakr Abu Basha! We met in 1984, when Entessar, Sabrin, Saber, and Farrag were still small, and we spent much time together for seven years, until I left Egypt in 1991... |
22nd August 2018: How wonderful that a taylor from Sudan in Cairo loved making a copy of my blue African jacket, with the African material that I had found in Harlem in New York in 2015! |
3rd to 28th August 2018: Thank you so much, dear Daniel! Your kind care was such a gift to me! |
21st to 24th August 2018: Eid al-Adha, also called the 'Festival of Sacrifice', is the second of two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year (the other being Eid al-Fitr), and considered the holier of the two. I have always been delighted to see how Egyptians are able to celebrate! How they occupy public spaces in the middle of busy roads, how they spread a cloth on the ground and gather for a night-long picnic! I so much admire how their children can run around and play all night: In my view, this is the child-rearing method for the future (compare also the ideas of the 'Lazy School' in the north of Thailand)! I am appalled when I see that some try to make money by 'stealing' from this public space by bringing something so unhealthy as chairs and ask for money to sit on them... luckily, this is not something Egyptians accept, as you see on the picture above, those chairs remain empty... |
17th August 2018: I tried to find Said El-Tarsi, who made all our clothes when I lived in Cairo from 1984 – 1991. I still found him in 2007 (see the photo at the bottom with his son). Now, I heared that he has sadly passed away around 2010 of a weak heart... I mourn you, dear friend! |
17th August 2018: I gathered gifts for our 'circle of love gifts'! Here is a kind neighbour of Said el-Tarsi, Karam, who has a silver shop. |
17th August 2018: I was back at Lehnert and Landrock Bookshop! It is now in 36 Abdelkhalek Tharwat Street in Cairo, in the second floor, still hosting an exibition of antique photographs Lehnert and Landrock took on their Arabian adventures.
Now
Dr. Edward Lambley is the owner. When I lived in Cairo, the shop used to be in
44 Sherif Street. |
16th August 2018: Visiting kind Mohamed M. El-Mansoury, the son of Sadek M. El-Mansoury, |
16th August 2018: I was back in my favourite spice shop in Khan El-Khalili! I used to take in its smells once a week when I lived in Cairo from 1984 – 1991! On the left you see me back there in January 2007, and I was overjoyed to see it unchanged now, in 2018! |
16th August 2018: Beit Hamama in Khan El-Khalili was to be our home! What a great plan it was, in the spirit of honouring the treasures of history rather then dismissing them! But life disagreed... |
14th August 2018: Kubri (Bridge) Abbas together with Tarek, the kind driver who brought me back home from the pyramids! |
14th August 2018: Papyrus Musuem for new gifts for our 'circle of love gifts'! Papyrus Museum, 98 Pyramids Road, Giza, managed since 25 years by Omaima, standing at my right side |
14th August 2018: Mena House! |
11th August 2018: I can't believe that the house where Hil and I lived from 1984 to 1991 is no longer there! This posh office building has been raised in 2010, after the owner Abdallah passed, and Medhat and Mediha sold the house and the land. Now, there is no garden anymore, and instead of a villa of three floors, a high-rised building blocks the view to the sky - this is what the neighbours tell me who still remember me. Since the building houses only offices and no people anymore, the street is 'dead' after 8 pm, there is no life anymore in the street... Also the neighbouring villa has suffered the same fate... • Please click on the pictures above to see more photos. |
10th August 2018: I can't believe that I was able to reconnect with a dear friend from thirty years back, Moustafa Hedayah! Thank you, dear Moustafa, for this wonderful meeting in Four Seasons (First Mall) Giza! • Please click on the photo above to see it larger. |
8th August 2018: How wonderful to be back after three decades! From 1984 to 1991, Hil and I, we spent much time with our dear brother Moustafa Hamama and his family. The last time, I saw him was in 2007. Now his son Ahmed is a grown-up man! Amazing! • Please click on the pictures above to see more photos. |
8th August 2018: Dearest Katrina Vrebalovich! How wonderful that one of the gifts from our 'circle of love gifts' has travelled to you and will adorn your house in Luxor! On 14th August 2017, the lovely teachers of the Renaissance College in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India, prepared a large table of gifts for the 'circle of love gifts' of our global dignity family! When I saw the table full of love-gifts, I was speechless! It was such an incredibly beautiful surprise! The gift you chose, dear Katrina, is from Dr. Rachana Ghadge!

And for taking me with you today to show me your art universe in Zamalek-Cairo! The art galleries you showed me were fabulous! I learned so much from you - you so generously gave me a taste of your 'infinite well of creativity'! • Please click on the photo above to see it larger. |

For giving me a home in Cairo and for being with me to my beloved El-Fishawi café in El-Fishawi Alley, Khan el-Khalili, Cairo! What a time-travel for me! Here I was at home from 1984 to 1991! • Please click on the photos above to see them larger. |
21st June 2018: Thank you, dear Christian Manthey and Moritz Muschik, for a wonderful hour together in Kaffee 38 in Hamelin! On 4th July 2018, you published your amazing article on your HamelnR page on Facebook, THANK YOU!!! • Please click on the photo above to see it larger. See also Pdf. |
