Changing the world from the inside out is the most empowering, rewarding and fulfilling path we can take if we want to contribute to a better world for all beings, including ourselves.
View, meditation, application
We use meditation as a way to connect with our innate well-being, as well as the inherent qualities of awareness, love, compassion, and wisdom. By approaching our experience with warmth and care, we create the conditions for greater resilience, deeper connection, and more meaningful relationships. We offer structures that supports us with the challenge to bring more love, joy and compassion within our daily life.
Structure training and meditation practice days
During the four training days we offer background, underlying theory and inspirational inputs with the guided practices we do, related to one of the 4 transformative qualities of love, compassion, joy and equanimity. There will be time for guided meditations, mindful movement, inquiry, sharing and questions to deepen our experience and understanding. You will get an outline of the practice instructions and suggestions how to bring it into your daily life.
Practicing together as a community has the great benefit that it strengthens our commitment, deepens our understanding and meditation practice
