Meditation course Online to deepen your personal practice, online

The Four Foundations of Mindfulness

Meditation and explorations on mindfulness and awareness of body, speech and mind
Guided by Wolfgang Schröder and René Slikker
Online course comprising 6 sessions (held fortnightly)

This in-depth group is an invitation to explore and deepen your own meditation and mindfulness practice, and to help ensure that it becomes part of your daily routine.

Seminar details

  • Each session lasts 2 hours and starts at 18:30 o’clock.
  • The sessions include periods of meditation, short themed talks, small-group discussions about your own meditation practice, and suggestions for practising at home.
  • In this course, we place mindfulness of body and breath at the heart of the practice. We deepen our understanding, examine obstacles that may arise, and practise mindfulness of breathing and body-related meditations.
  • Guidance on the practice to prepare for participation in the MBSR teacher training
    Our aim is that this course will enable us to practise together from home, overcome resistance to meditation, and establish a regular personal practice.
