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 teaching hours (840 in total).
I studied international relations and worked in the financial sector for 15 years.

"I am learning to be with what is here now, to allow myself to fully experience the present moment, to allow myself not to know, to make mistakes, to not be perfect, simply allow yourself to be yourself.
For me, Mindfulness is a lifelong journey of self-discovery, which is based on the cultivation of values ​​such as patience, acceptance, non-judgment, curiosity or love leading to greater freedom, balance and satisfaction. My intention is to continue on this path and at the same time accompany you, who are tempted to learn more about yourself and gradually experience a more fulfilled life. I will be happy if you join me."
