Simply being: mindful - authentic - alive

"Meditation is quite simply about
about being yourself and gradually realizing
to realize who that is."
(Jon Kabat-Zinn)

Experiencing ourselves consciously, authentically and alive is the
goal of this experience-oriented workshop.

Through the spiritual practice of wisdom from East and West and
the modern and scientifically researched methods of mindfulness
we will go into inner exploration and lead ourselves into an expanded
space of consciousness. A space of existence in which we
can be what and how we really are. There we encounter
a deep peace in which we meet ourselves and the world with trust and acceptance.
and the world with trust and acceptance.

- Presentation of traditional and modern mindfulness methods
(contemplation, Zen, MBSR, MBCL, etc.)

FEEDBACK FROM COURSE PARTICIPANTS:

Dear Renato,
I am once again so grateful for this course and the tools you give us.
There is so much to sense and feel that I have to reduce myself to just a few things, otherwise the depth gets lost. Thank you for your kindness, your goodwill, your grounding and your authenticity!!!!
- B. V. from Karben

Dear Renato,
The seminar with you really changed me; I went home very satisfied, confident, relaxed and free of all expectations. It was a completely new experience!
I'm currently living very mindfully and am more aware than before and no longer make judgments. Your sentence 'Everything that is, can be, and what can be, can change' now helps me much better through everyday life.
It was a very special week for me because - for me - everything was just right: the course, the participants, the environment, the accommodation and, above all, the friendliness with which we all treated each other.
I haven't 'worked through' everything yet, but I'm staying on the ball as I realize how good all the tips on mindful living have done me.
I would give 10 points for all aspects of the seminar (top marks). I can't think of anything that could be improved. Didactically, methodically, in terms of content and through your inimitable way of teaching, I remember a lot of things much better than in other seminars on similar topics.
Thank you very much and I wish you many more participants interested in a mindful life.
- Claudia (Lipinski) from Berlin

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