The keywords of Andoday. This is a memorable day filled with inspiration, fun and new insights that expands consciousness. It is an extension of Ando, in which 'awareness' is central. It is a day where we put even more emphasis on personal development and being allowed to be yourself. The programme will remain a surprise, so everyone gets in with an open mind. Attention will be paid both on and off the mat. All this to create some awareness in everyone participating in this activity.
The theme 'awareness' is very broad that every year tries to find a different angle. Whether it is about awareness of yourself or your environment. In 2016, for instance, the theme was 'Unifiyed Centre' freely translated to 'unified centre'. In short, each time a different topic is slightly more in the spotlight.
The Android Day was created by the loss of Marga and later also Wim, both founders and parents of Edo and Anne. Their life mission was to help people get back to themselves, give insights and tools to get more out of life. Marga did so from the perspective of (alternative) healthcare and Wim from his passion for marketing and teaching. Both were wise, service-minded people who helped build Ando into what it is today. A loving 'family' where you can be yourself. Finally, this is the basis for opening and developing yourself. From this base, these founding fathers with their life's purpose are highlighted extra by their continue positivity and inspiration in the Andoday.
