1 Day Online & at Home Retreat of Embodied Presence - SU 17.7.22 9:30 - 17:00 CET

"The miracle is not to walk on water, but to walk on this earth with awareness." - Thich Nath Hanh

On the occasion of my Mindfulness Teacher Training with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield (USA) I would like to invite you to participate in my second online practicum.

"Mindfulness" or "Embodied Presence" refers to the art of being with what is. I even like to say that it is a way of falling in love with whatever you find when you start looking at life eye to eye (some call it liberation).

I like to think of mindfulness as a powerful key to becoming a true human being because it teaches us how to breathe with the mysterious pulse that is life as it flows through us right in this moment.

And not only that.
It is is also the key element found throughout an incredible number of therapeutic systems.
Ever heard the phrase "What you feel you can heal"?
Embodied presence has an incredibly healing and soothing effect on our bodies and psyches.

It is a peace process of letting go of being at war with ourselves and life, and instead realize the richness of one instant and let that teach us.

It opens us to the wealth we already have within: resilience, inner strenght, clarity, wisdom, insight, patience as well as ways to direct love towards those aspects in our lives which deeply long for our care and attention but are too often neglected because perhaps we were too busy to notice.

"The mind creates the abyss and the heart crosses it," says Sri Nisaragadatta

This is a chance to have a day long out-breath from your busy modern life to arrive right at where you are and deepen your sense of aliveness.

At times it might sound boring but believe me when I say, "It isn't."

Were it so, would it not be the most widespread ancient tool of healing and insight know in our world today.

"Nature loves rhythms. Nature exists in rhythms, and the rhythm of making a regular visit to yourself each day is a real gift to your heart and spirit. Let your intention be to just come, establish yourself in the posture and tend to be present. And know that it's really an offering that can profoundly wake up your being." Tara Brach
