For whom?
This training is for those who want to make meditation more part of their daily life, ensuring real progress and transformation. If we want more peace, joy and well-being in our lives, and for those we share this beautiful planet with, it requires to look within. Changing the world from the inside out is the most empowering, rewarding and fulfilling path we can take if we want to contribute to a better world for all beings, including ourselves.

View, meditation, application
We use meditation as a way to connect with our innate well-being, as well as the inherent qualities of awareness, love, compassion, and wisdom. By approaching our experience with warmth and care, we create the conditions for greater resilience, deeper connection, and more meaningful relationships. We offer structures that supports us with the challenge to bring more love, joy and compassion within our daily life.

Structure training and meditation practice days
During the four training days we offer background, underlying theory and inspirational inputs with the guided practices we do, related to one of the 4 transformative qualities of love, compassion, joy and equanimity. There will be time for guided meditations, mindful movement, inquiry, sharing and questions to deepen our experience and understanding. You will get an outline of the practice instructions and suggestions how to bring it into your daily life.

Practicing together as a community has the great benefit that it strengthens our commitment, deepens our understanding and meditation practice
For the training days we lunch together and offer home-made soup and bread.

Community of practice

Spiritual Ecology Practice Sessions online

With these practice sessions we're co-creating a human space for resonant connection; to orient ourselves towards reciprocity and mutual thriving, to internalize the reality of our interdependence and to discover and strengthen our alignment with our purpose in life.
How? By offering meditation, mindful inquiry and sacred heart circle sharings that enables us to explore, heal and reconnect with ourselves, each other, and the web of life. We explore questions that are meaningful to us in pairs (in break-out rooms) and the group-as-a-whole.
 
This online group is open to everyone who wants to be part of our community of practice in Spiritual Ecology. Preferably you have followed a Spiritual Ecology training, workshop or retreat with us the last few years. If you do not know if you meet this requirement or if it is something for you, please do get in touch with us
