Retreats and teaching in
Buddhist monasteries and psychological training.
My teacher, Wilfried Reuter, disciple of Ayya Khema and founder of the Lotos Vihara in Berlin, recommended that I spend at least three months in monasteries for a solid approach to the practice of meditation.
My history as a Buddhist layman is longer ago. Only with my travels from 2018 I have fulfilled the desire for authentic practice in Buddhist countries. The stations of this journey over three years I present the following first shortened.
Another step for my personal development and professionalization was my training as a systemic consultant with Nicolai Albrecht and at the Institute for Educational Coaching in Berlin from 2018 to 2019.
