Welcome to the ABC Treehouse in Amsterdam
Remember that childhood treehouse? You mainly went up there to be with your friends, away from your parents. Climbing the ladder into the tree, you could stand there and look out beyond the leaves to see the world and the state it was in. Together with your pals you could plan to save it, change it or forget it. It was a refuge, it was a launch pad. It was a place where you could express yourself.The ABC Treehouse presents artistic, literary, and political projects which nurture dialogue and cooperation within the Dutch and multicultural community. It is supported by The American Book Center, one of the largest sources of American (and British) language books on continental Europe.
Feed the roots of your being and explore the core of your creativity.
2012 - a new beginning...
After nearly 14 years continual use as a clubhouse for the bookstore, we’d like to take a little break and rethink/refresh the concept of The ABC Treehouse and how we at The American Book Center can best use the building in the future.
We are grateful to everyone who’s helped grow the ABC Treehouse programs – in particular, Donna DuCarme and her team of volunteers, but also those who have been active from the very beginning.

SPIRITUAL BOOK CLUB DISCUSSES BYRON KATIE'S "LOVING WHAT IS" Book Events
Katie says, “It’s not the problem that causes our suffering; it’s our thinking about the problem.” Contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works; instead, once we have done The Work, the thought lets go of us. At that point, we can truly love what is, just as it is. "Loving What Is" will show you step-by-step, through clear and vivid examples, exactly how to use this revolutionary process for yourself.
