Retreat Lead Experience
I am about to finish a Teacher Trainer Program with Bodhi College and have assisted in several retreats. I am mostly interested in the foundations of mindfulness, the brahmavihara’s and insight dialogue.
Personal Practice
I have been practicing meditation for 30 years in different traditions. I have attended many retreats in these years through IMS, Gaia House, Holy Isle, and retreat houses in the Netherlands. In the last fifteen years my practice is mostly based on the four foundations of Mindfulness, the Brahamvihara’s and the practices used in the MBI’s.
