Mindfulness is the 7th step of the eightfold path to enlightenment of the Buddha. The Buddha lived around 450 years BC and has made a study how suffering can be reduced and happiness can be increased.
Objective: To broaden awareness, to increase self-awareness and to reach out so that the self-insight increases. Suffering will decrease and happiness is enlarged through transformation techniques. Self- Awareness and happiness are highly interconnected.
These workshops can be taken separately or as a whole serie.
