To Sit in Stillness

What do we know about our existence? Very rarely we find time and space in our everyday-life to reflect on fundamental questions such as on the real nature of our mind and our representations about these subjects. We may experience impermanence as we perceive events and experiences, thoughts and emotions come and go and we cannot grasp and hold, however strong we may perceive and wish.

Impermanence and emptiness are intrinsic to appearence of phenomena. How is it possible to recognize this clearly - and who and what is this self by which we experience? What could be an awakened mind and how can we recognize the essence of all beings and live in loving kindness?

Morning meditation ( 7.30 - 8.15 a.m.)

In this workshop I offer the space for sitting meditation and walking meditation with a few oral explanations.

Meditation Workshop (7.00 - 8.00 p.m.)

This space is not so much for practicing meditation, but for the mutual investigation on questions on awareness, consciousness and self reflection. How can we deal with the challenges of everyday hectic and stress and yet develop and maintain joy and relief? It is also a possibility to share what is going on in your life in these days and to get a few hints how it is possible to avoid dramas.

In this evening workshop Brother Hue Chuyen will participate and also answer questions in his tradition.

Painting Atelier

All human beings are able to paint and draw. Rock paintings and rock carvings from ancient cultures make this deep and primordial need of expression obvious. However, our conceptions about the result are often in our way and prevent us from experience. We are addicted (our addictions) to evaluate everything on common standards have held a lot of us back from a genuine and exhilarating adventure of painting and drawing.

This creative expression can though open up our horizon, give resort out of narrow minded intellectual thinking and reconnect to our intuition and the NOW. Drawing and Painting immerse us into experience BEYOND TIME.

This atelier provides a bunch of material for painting and drawing which may support your creative expressions and I will be there in case you need encouragement and advice.
