This 10-week introductory course is quite different from any other mindfulness course. During this course, Master Niels will teach you the latest insights into mindfulness and many new powerful mindfulness techniques.
EXPLORE YOUR MIND WITH MINDFULNESS
We all know how bothering it is when your thoughts drift away from what you actually need to focus on, when you cannot calm your thoughts, or when you have little control over your emotions.
These are common problems that almost everyone experiences. Mastering your mind is essential to feel well and to be productive and cooperative. When you are able to master your mind, you surely increase your quality of life. That’s why it is valuable to invest in yourself and to train your mind.
STARTING SUNDAY 19 SEPTEMBER, AT 9:30 AM
You will start your introductory course on Sunday, 19 September 2021, with live sessions every Sunday from 9:30 to 11:00 am. The complete schedules with dates and time can be found here. You will receive an email from us with a link to join your first session on Friday, 17 September.
FOR BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED PRACTITIONERS
The techniques that you will learn during this course are extremely effective and probably new for the most of you. While this is an excellent course if you are new to mindfulness, we believe that everyone from a beginner to an advanced practitioner can benefit their mindfulness practice from these techniques and come to deeper insights.

What do others say about this course?
“This course was wonderful! I learned a lot about mindfulness. I’ve continued practicing everyday with the techniques I learned. I live in America. I was willing to get up at 330am. It was that good.”
Amber Kirk
USA
“My whole life I’ve been struggling with my ‘monkey mind’ and self doubt. It controlled my life. During this 10-week course I have learned so much, and so fast, about how to become the observer of my thoughts. More and more I’m able to create mindful energy at any moment of the day. I feel more calm, more love, more aware. I’m very grateful that I had the opportunity to join this course. And thankful for Niels being such a great teacher and putting all this effort in making this knowledge accessible for me/us/others. You rock Niels!”
