SUMMARY:Mirjam Bersier and Cédric Maillard:Yoga Reconnecting with the Essentials
DESCRIPTION:Back to Basics – Reconnecting with the Essential \nHow much time each day do I dedicate to connecting with who I am\, the Source\, the Divine\, the Great Spirit\, the one who has dwelt within me since my birth? \nHow much time each day do I take to give thanks for the simple things in my life\, like the air I breathe\, having enough to eat\, a roof over my head\, for this body I inhabit and which allows me to live so many experiences? \nConnecting with the essentials allows you to follow your path\, to hear that voice that will guide you for the rest of your life. \nThis is why you are truly called to live on Earth. \nDuring this journey\, we invite you to slow down\, in order to connect deeply with who you are\, to visit sacred and highly spiritual places\, to enter into profound dialogue with your inner self. To cherish it\, to give thanks\, and to integrate all that you have gained during this inner journey. \nIn a verdant natural setting\, a sparse forest inhabited by free-roaming peacocks\, birds of paradise\, monkeys\, squirrels\, and extraordinary trees… \nThe comfort and beauty of the cottages and the practice room will allow you to unwind\, immerse yourself\, and feel enveloped by the gentleness of this magical place. \nThese 10 days include: \nVisits to sacred sites\, temples\, forests\, and the lake \nGentle body practices\, yoga\, and dance \nSwimming in the lake\, relaxing moments \nAyurvedic massage \nSri Lankan vegetarian cooking class \nMeditation \nTime for silence and introspection \nContemplation \nHiking \n

SUMMARY:Thomas Struebel:Mindfulness-Based Stress ReductionIn German
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Struebel is a certified MBSR teacher (training at the Institute for Mindfulness with Dr. Linda Lehrhaupt)\nExtensive leadership experience in the public sector and NGOs (including the establishment and management of a center for traumatized asylum seekers)\nCourse instructor in the context of mindfulness and resilience in social-therapeutic institutions and administrations\nMeditation instructor\, meditation since 1979 (Vipassana with S.N. Goenka\, Mother Sayama\, John Coleman; Zen with Ama Samy) \nMindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) was developed in 1979 by Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (USA) and is offered with great success in many clinics\, social and educational institutions\, and companies within the USA and increasingly in Europe as well. At the heart of the MBSR program is the cultivation of mindfulness\, i.e.\, the ability to be and remain in contact with the present moment without getting lost in thoughts\, judgments\, worries\, or anxieties. Through the regular practice of mindfulness\, MBSR promotes well-being and a more conscious approach to stress in everyday life. Furthermore\, mindfulness contributes to a higher quality of life and personal development. \nMBSR is generally taught as an 8-week course. Other course formats (e.g.\, weekend courses\, individual coaching) are also possible. The focus is on teaching and practicing various forms of mindfulness exercises. In addition\, there are presentations and group discussions on specific topics. An important element is the participants’ own practice at home between course sessions. \nCore elements of the course include: \nMindful body awareness\nMindful bodywork\nSitting and walking meditation\nMindfulness exercises for everyday life\nMBSR addresses issues of daily life and is open to people of all ages\, regardless of profession or worldview.
