Courses of the Mind Retreat Program (MRP) are taught at different times through the year. All three courses last seven weeks and are suitable for practitioners of all levels. In these courses you learn the mindfulness-meditation techniques, how to apply them during meditations and how to integrate them into your daily life.
The Four Foundations
...In this course, you will learn the three mindfulness techniques B1 through B3. These techniques offer a simple yet powerful way to practice. In the lessons, you will receive explanations, we share our experiences, but mostly we practice meditation together. Meditation is the way to train your mindfulness. You will take this practice into your daily life. The techniques and the method of practice follow a Buddhist teaching from Thailand. The course is suitable for all levels of practitioners.
Date: currently not planned
Monday evenings
Time: 19.45h - 21.15h

Mindfulness in Everyday Life
...In this course you learn to integrate the techniques of the Mind Retreat Program in your daily life. How do you stay with your breathing during all your activities? We will also address what holds us back, why we often don't stick with it, and fall back into old patterns. We will practice and train on what to do instead.
In this course, we use the same three techniques as in the first course. These will be reviewed first. So, you can join in right away, even if you have no experience with mindfulness or meditation.
Date: currently not planned
Monday evenings
Time: 19.45h - 21.15h

The Mindfulness Code
...In this third course, we will learn the full set of techniques: B1 through B7, and O8. These techniques have a very powerful effect and help you, as a practitioner, to detach and let go of your problems.
You will learn the mindfulness code, which explains the Boeddha's teaching of suffering in understandable terms, and putting this into practice through the three principles of mindfulness; the way to directly understand the the four noble truths and apply the eightfold path without getting lost in ideas.
Date: currently not planned
Monday evenings
Time: 19.45h - 21.15h

Mindful Communication
...In this fourth course, we will train and develop the skill of mindful speech, and mindful listening. A most valuable skill for all of us.
How often have you wished you could have acted in a more mindful way? And how often was that related to something you said, or to something that someone said to you, and erked you the wrong way?
Date: currently not planned
Monday evenings
Time: 19.45h - 21.15h

12-week Mindfulness Program – with Personal Guidance by Willem
...
Are you dealing with stress, burnout, overthinking, emotional ups and downs, or habits that no longer serve you? Do you long for more peace, stability, and a deeper sense of meaning in your life?
This 12-week Mindfulness Program offers you a powerful way to reconnect with yourself – not just temporarily, but in a way that can transform your life from within.
Through this training, you'll learn to anchor yourself in your body and in the present moment. As you become more aware, you'll notice that change doesn’t come by force, but arises naturally due to the energy of mindfulness.
Rather than trying to fix yourself, you’ll learn how to gently be with yourself, to be with whatever is going on in your body. This is how the mind and body learns to rest, and to relax more deeply, step by step.
