Dear friends and acquaintances of Kontemplation
The summer holidays are letting go of their grip, and we are entering the rhythm of autumn.
For many, it is a time to regain our footing – to notice what we want to take with us and what we want to leave behind.
The third group of the supervision course will start in a few weeks. Internal practice and working life.
We had initially planned it as a simple course, but have since seen how many people are currently seeking to connect immersion, presence and humanity with their way of living and working – whether it is about creativity, creating, teaching, working with people or finding a new direction in everyday life. And now the third group begins.
During the summer, we have, as always, posted a new blog post every Friday.
One of them was Steen Hildebrandt's New leadership – a kind but clear call to stay awake in a time that can easily pull us toward discouragement.
Soon you can also hear his lecture from the spring, held at Internal practice and working life, Team 2 – another friendly but insistent point out that our times call for presence, compassion and responsible action.
In the practice library you will now find a new walking meditation: Peace of mind – step by step, which trains the ability to move out into the world with open senses - and at the same time maintain contact inwardly.
We hope that this guidance, together with the other exercises in the practice library, can be a quiet support to maintain inner contact, keep balance and find a foothold - so that we do not burn out.
The fall also offers several courses that we are looking forward to:
· Britta Karlshøj starts an online course this week about Dreams, therapy and meditation.
· As a new feature, Kirsten Rotbøll Lassen teaches in Meditation, image work, creativity and movement over three Saturdays in Copenhagen.
· And Martin Guldberg continues the online course In Bob Moore's footsteps, where at each class we find new layers in the Irish teacher's energy work.
As a reminder that all inner practice is perhaps about stepping into life – not away from it.
Suzanne Brøgger writes somewhere:
“You can't protect yourself from life.
You can only live it.”
We look forward to meeting – online or in person – and to continuing the conversation, exploration, and community of practice.
Warm regards
