8-týždňový mindfulness kurz (MBSR)

MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) is a proven 8-week mindfulness program that teaches how to manage stress, emotions and life's challenges in a more conscious and kind way.

Through meditations, gentle movement, other mindfulness exercises, sharing and mindful observation of everyday life, we learn to be more present - here and now.

The course is suitable for anyone looking for tools to manage stress, he longs to slow down and wants to learn to perceive himself and the world more.

The course was founded in 1979 by Emeritus Professor of Medicine Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in the USA, it connects Eastern teachings with the knowledge of Western medicine and is verified by several scientific studies.

The course is led by a certified lecturer with a certificate from a German institute IMA, the oldest institute in Europe that deals with mindfulness approaches.

LECTOR: BORIS LAPIN
I have been practicing mindfulness since 2016. Since then, I have completed several meditation retreats (5-20 days) with various teachers from Slovakia and abroad, and a monthly retreat in Sri Lanka. I regularly led open meditations and an MBSR course. I also practice Tai Chi and Chi Kung under the guidance of master José Luis Serra.
I completed an MBSR course in Vienna and a 1.5-year course for MBSR teachers organized by the IMA (Institute for Mindfulness-Based Approaches) in Germany. The course was led by experienced meditation teachers from several European countries with a total of 240 lessons (840 in total).
I studied international relations and worked in the financial sector for 15 years. For me, Mindfulness is a lifelong journey of self-discovery, which is based on the cultivation of values such as patience, acceptance, non-judgement, curiosity and love leading to greater freedom, balance and satisfaction. My intention is to continue on this journey and at the same time accompany you who are attracted to learning more about yourself and gradually experiencing a more fulfilling life. I would be happy if you would join me
