Breaking the cycle
Letting Go of Old Patterns
30. August 2025
10:00am–1:00 pm
in German
with Gen Kelsang Gyalchog
Do you know this feeling? Something doesn’t go as planned – and suddenly frustration boils over. Anger takes the wheel. Once again.
In this special Meditation Workshop, Gen Gyalchog invites us to replace automatic reactions with conscious pause. Instead of repeating old, stress-filled patterns, we’ll explore new ways to remain inwardly free, clear, and peaceful – even when things get tough.
With inspiring input, guided meditations, and space for sharing, we’ll explore how to let go of anger and frustration – and how to cultivate real alternatives when things don’t go the way we want.
The Illusion of Being Alone
Discovering Real Connection
25 October 2025
10:00am–1:00 pm
with Gen Kelsang Devi
In English with German translation
Loneliness is not a sign that we are alone – it arises in our heart, regardless of whether we are surrounded by people or not.
In this Meditation Workshop, we’ll explore the deeper truth behind the feeling of loneliness with Gen Devi. We’ll learn that it is our inner attitude that determines whether we feel connected or isolated – not the external circumstances.
Through meditation, inspiring guidance, and fresh perspectives, we’ll discover the mindset that leads us out of isolation – and into a deep, genuine connection with others and with ourselves. This inner connection is the key to a fulfilled, joyful life – no matter whether we are alone or not.
Developing Strength and Optimism
Taking Your Life into Your Own Hands
29 November 2025
10:00am–1:00 pm
with Gen Kelsang Devi
In English with German translation
Sometimes we feel at the mercy of life – as if worries, doubts, or difficult circumstances decide how we feel. But in truth, we carry a deep inner strength and resilience within us, through which we can consciously and positively shape our lives.
In this workshop, Gen Devi will show us how we can develop new strength and confidence through meditation – especially during challenging times.
Instead of feeling helpless, we learn to strengthen our heart, keep our gaze forward, and move through life with optimism and trust. Step by step, this creates an inner stability that enables us to take our life confident control of our lives.
