First celebration of St Hildegard at the abbey 2023

Let's reminisce about our first celebration in honor of Saint Hildegard of Bingen... as always, the absentees were wrong... we could enjoy a beautiful late summer day, many happy faces, nice encounters,... thanks to everyone who was there, but especially thanks to everyone who helped make this day happen.... the sisters of the abbey, Elta and Daniel, Nathalie and Renate, Elly and Eef, Ségolène, Sabine, Filip, Lea and daughter Laura, Marion, Gaëtane, Karen, ... also Alphagem, Bei Cha, le pain à soi, Inge Engelen, Anne Ooms and colleague, Samenzorg, ... and the many people who spontaneously lent a hand when it became too busy ... it was a beautiful day... we are already looking forward to the next edition...
