Mindfulness and Meditation workshop

14. April 2014 @ 18:00 - 20:00

Free, but donations welcome

Have you always wanted to try meditation but didn’t know quite where to begin?

Join us for a free workshop on mindfulness and meditation and learn more about the benefits of meditation in a comfortable and relaxed setting. The session will be led by Buddhist Monk Luang Phi John, who is coming to Berlin especially to host a series of these workshops. LP John holds a PhD in Telematics and used to work as a developer before ordaining as a Theravada Buddhist monk, so he’s familiar with the pressures of a dynamic and highly demanding work and lifestyle.

During the workshop you will learn techniques on how to enhance your creativity and productivity, become more mindful, increase your awareness and use self-knowledge to create self-mastery. Take the chance to finally learn and try meditation practice; absolute beginners are very welcome.

6:00 – 6:30pm Arrivals and registration
6:30 – 6:50pm Introduction and presentation on meditation benefits and method
6:50 – 7:30pm Meditation session
7:30 – 8:00pm Discussion / Q&A session
