Description
These days are aimed at people of all ages who are looking to deepen their lives. Silent meditation allows you to experience the fullness of the moment and opens your heart and consciousness. We practise sitting in mindfulness, being present in the present moment with the clear determination to let our breath lead us to our center. In this way, we taste life intensely and find our way home to our true nature, to who we are before all preconceptions and imprints.
In the contemplation via integralis, we practise zazen, the silent meditation of zen, this sitting in clarity and determination. The lectures include topics from Christian mysticism and the Buddhist tradition.
