Join Master Niels (Niels de Stürler Boekwijt), founder of the Inner Mind Institute, for an insightful session on our upcoming 7-day mindfulness retreat in the Algarve, Portugal.

With over 15 years of experience in mindfulness and meditation, Master Niels is deeply rooted in this transformative practice. Trained by Thai Buddhist monks and having spent a full year living as a monk himself, he brings a profound understanding of mindfulness and its essence. His mission is to share these powerful, time-tested techniques from Asia in a way that resonates with the Western world.

Beyond his work as a mindfulness teacher, Master Niels also runs a medical center in The Netherlands, with locations in Oegstgeest and The Hague, where he integrates spiritual and physical approaches to enhance overall wellbeing.

At the Inner Mind Institute, Master Niels developed an comprehensive learning program that adapts ancient Buddhist principles to fit today’s modern lifestyle. During your 7-day stay in Portugal, Master Niels will guide you through the Mind Retreat Program, providing you with practical tools to cultivate inner peace, happiness, and resilience—supporting you to make a positive change and take the next step in your journey.
