He has always been fascinated by learning something \u2013 acquiring new knowledge, understanding and insight \u2013 and communicating it to others in an interesting, inspiring and varied way, both in the field of the natural sciences and in the field of philosophy and spiritual science, and all preferably aimed at popular education about life, general education and open, critical dialogue and debate. For him it is also a matter very close to his heart that all human beings are free to explore nature, life and spirit, research being not only an elitist project, but also a popular project and potential.<\/p>\n
Ingvar has been actively engaged in Martinus\u2019s spiritual science for a number of years, and has worked voluntarily for this cause, primarily with teaching, but also with gardening and kitchen duties.<\/p>\n
Although teaching and communication take up most of his time, he also has a long-standing interest for and experience of association work, board work and the development and well-being of organisations.<\/p>\n
Ingvar joined the Council in June 2022.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.martinus.dk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/02\/Arendse-scaled.jpg” alt=”Ingvar” title_text=”Arendse” align_tablet=”left” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|100px|||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”|100px|30px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”6096097f-f17c-4839-a7d8-41c2ac1c1a6d” custom_padding=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
