WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEARN WHAT ZEN IS?

There are many different zen lineages. Zen meditation in the tradition of K. G. Dürckheim proposes a non-dogmatic zen for western laypeople.

* In this workshop, we will talk about what zen is, its origins and the benefits of practicing this ancient technique called the direct way or the way of action in these contemporary times.
* In this introduction, we will teach you the meditation posture and appropriate internal attitude, both mental and emotional, and we will practice meditation exercises: sitting in silence and walking meditation.
* It is necessary to bring comfortable clothes (no sports clothes or jeans) preferably in subdued colors.

* Laia Monserrat: clinical psychologist, master in Brief Strategic Therapy and educated in Leibtherapie Personale (psycho-physical psychotherapy, in the Dürckheim method). Authorized to teach zen in this tradition since 1989, she had a meditation center in Barcelona for 14 years, after which she moved to France for 8 years. Now she has returned to Barcelona, where she continues to offer her zen teachings and psychotherapy practice.

we encourage you to come experience this workshop with us… i hope to see you there!
take care and see you soon! much love and peace... namaste, hojung
