5-day ZEN New Year_MBSR_silence course

The turn of the year is a great opportunity to take stock.
What old things can I let go of, how do I welcome in the new year?
What things and patterns can I say goodbye to?
What can I take with me into my new phase of life full of gratitude? In this way, we look back through your year and create space for new experiences. Clarity usually sets in and unresolved issues often clear up by themselves, simply because we no longer (or continue to) repress them. The time of silence gives us strength and confidence.
A telephone call before the course is possible by appointment. Especially if you have no experience with silence, a conversation with us in advance can be a good decision-making aid. Simply make an appointment with us!
