Awaken your full potential: mindfulness, self-compassion and inner strength

"We know too much and feel too little.
At least we feel too little of
those creative emotions
from which a meaningful life springs."
(Bertrand Russel)

INTENSIVE TRAINING
This workshop is for anyone who wants to delve deeper into mindfulness and meditation and experience more serenity, awareness and vitality. A particular focus is on lovingly addressing unpleasant feelings in order to dissolve old patterns of behavior and develop new alternatives for action. Scientifically proven and effective techniques from the fields of mindfulness, meditation, psychology and bodywork are taught. In a protected space, we can experience presence, inner wisdom, trust and connection. In addition to mindfulness and meditation, we can expect active and experience-oriented exercises that can lead to deeper self-awareness and healing.

COURSE CONTENTS
- Awareness and feelings
- Self-esteem and compassion
- Spirituality and meaningfulness
- Intuition and reorientation
- Transfer exercises for everyday private and professional life

Open to all interested parties.

Our organic-certified vegetarian-vegan cuisine according to DE-ÖKO-006 at Benediktushof is committed to the special spirit of the house. During everyday meals, we support the practice of mindfulness in silence by serving the food in the dining room at exactly the right time and treating our guests in a reserved, friendly and attentive manner.

We begin meals together with a ritual and eat in silence.

Our food is fresh and mostly prepared by hand. The products we use are organically grown, taking into account the season and the region. In the Benediktushof kitchen, we take a responsible approach to food and serve wholesome meals without meat.

Clarity, straightforwardness and creativity in cooking give our kitchen its own recognizable profile. For information and to cook dishes at home, you can be inspired by our Benediktushof cookbooks "How Zen Tastes" or "Masterful Zen Recipes".

On request, we prepare dishes for people with gluten and milk protein intolerance and purely vegan dishes. All other requests regarding intolerances can only be accommodated by prior arrangement and with a surcharge of € 5.00 per day.
