Individual support and guidance

When you are in a process of immersion, it can be helpful to share your experiences and questions with a conversation partner who will get to know you a little better over time. Sometimes one conversation is all it takes – other times the process requires a longer process.

The conversations can take place online via Zoom or in person.

All conversation partners are part of the Kontemplation team and receive ongoing supervision.

Individual conversations and courses are primarily intended for those of you who are already participating in Kontemplation's teaching - on courses, online courses or retreats.

If we don't already know you, we would like to ask you to send us a short introduction telling us a little about yourself and your experiences with meditation and self-development. This will help us assess how we can best support you.

Conversation options

At Kontemplation we offer five different types of personal conversations and courses. Below you will find information about the different conversation types with descriptions of formats, terms and prices.

Existential conversations

Existential conversations is an offer for those who participate in Kontemplation's teaching. They function as a supplement to courses and retreats – a support in your personal process and an aid to maintaining a regular practice.

The conversation is an equal dialogue where you can share experiences and receive reflection and guidance in relation to both life and practice.

For example, the conversations may revolve around questions such as:

How do I create a practice that strengthens presence and fits into my everyday life?
How do I overcome the resistance to sitting on the cushion – or rolling out the yoga mat?
How do I bring more awareness and presence into my relationships?
How do I distinguish between what can be encountered in meditation and what calls for external action or therapy?
How do I build and deepen a sustainable practice over time?

The supervisor does not have the answers, but can support you in a joint investigation of what you are facing.

The conversations generally take place online via Zoom, but it may also be possible to meet physically.

The conversation partners are part of the Kontemplation team and receive ongoing supervision.

An existential conversation lasts 45-60 minutes and costs DKK 980 incl. VAT.*

* 20 % discount for students and young people under 30.

In case of no-show or cancellation later than one day before the session, the full price will be charged.
Please send any cancellations up to a session by email or text message directly to the supervisor you have an appointment with.
The amount for the session must be paid no later than 24 hours before the agreed meeting time via the payment link sent.

Retreat guidance in connection with self-organized retreat

You are welcome to write to us here on the page or send an email to **@***********on.dk, if you want guidance and conversations in connection with a solo retreat or in connection with a self-organized group retreat.

Guidance in connection with the retreat takes place in two stages:

An introductory conversation where you and the mentor plan the form and rhythm of the retreat – including the physical practice (which is an important part of any retreat) and the meditative exercises that will form the framework for the process.
A follow-up conversation where you review experiences and questions that the retreat has given rise to - including any dreams or insights that have emerged.

The conversations typically take place online via Zoom, but it may also be possible to meet physically.

The introductory interview usually lasts 30–45 minutes, and the follow-up interview 60–90 minutes.

The total price for the two interviews is DKK 1,500 excl. VAT / DKK 1,875 incl. VAT.*

* 20 % discount for students and young people under 30.

If you would like a mid-term interview, you can arrange this with the assigned supervisor.

Contact us here for retreat guidance.

Therapeutic conversations

When you immerse yourself in a meditative practice, you will often – sooner or later – encounter inner themes that call for attention. These may be biographical traces that have not previously been given the necessary space, patterns or beliefs that repeat themselves and no longer serve you, or relational dynamics that you long to understand and live in more freely.

A therapeutic course With us, it starts with what fills your everyday life – and gradually opens up the layers that lie beneath. The past, the body and dreams often speak in subtle ways about what is not yet conscious. In the therapeutic process, we gently open up these layers – as support to bring movement, clarity and presence into what you are experiencing.

The conversations integrate contemplative exercises that you continue to work on between sessions. This means that the course is aimed at those of you who already have a practice – or who want to let therapy and practice go hand in hand.

A therapeutic process typically begins with an initial conversation, where we together examine whether the chemistry and the framework are suitable. If both parties want to go further, a process of three or five sessions is usually agreed upon – physically, online or a combination. During the first conversation, we identify an overall theme that you want to work on. And at the same time, there is always room to let what emerges along the way have space and priority.

A single session typically lasts 60–75 minutes and costs DKK 1,120 excl. VAT / DKK 1,400 incl. VAT.*

* 20 % discount for students and young people under 30.

You are welcome to write to us at **@***********on.dk, if you want to hear more or are considering a course.

Professional supervision

Supervision for professionals is a gentle and supportive space where you, as a supervisee, can reflect on experiences and challenges from your work in the world, receive sparring for planning teaching courses - and at the same time deepen your meditative practice.

These sessions are aimed at people who work with others: teachers, practitioners, therapists, creative practitioners and people in caring roles – or for those of you who otherwise want to combine inner reflection with outward engagement.

Our supervision focuses on both external and internal processes and is based on the fact that you either have a regular meditation practice or want to build one.

The individual supervision supports you in clarifying your professional and human core competencies – and in exploring how they can be connected to a meditative approach.

Topics that supervision could typically cover are:

The connection between professionalism and internal practice.
Processing and understanding challenging situations.
Personal integrity, clarity, authenticity and impact.
Educational planning.
How as a mediator you maintain and deepen your commitment and prevent burnout.
Responsibility and ethics in teaching situations.
Understanding of group processes and individual processes.

Supervision takes place with one of our teachers or as part of the supervision process. Internal practice and working life.
It can take place online via Zoom or in person at the Growth Center in Nørre Snede.

An individual session typically lasts 60–75 minutes and costs DKK 1,280 excl. VAT / DKK 1,600 incl. VAT.

For group courses, the price is agreed separately - depending on the number of participants, duration and content.

Please write to us at **@***********on.dk, if you are interested or have any questions.

Practice interview with senior practitioners

For those of you who have a regular practice and perhaps are in a retreat process, we offer practice discussions with experienced supervisors.

In conversations about meditative practice, it is crucial that there is trust between the practitioner and the conversation partner – and that the conversation partner has received authorization from his teacher to offer practice conversations. It is this authorization that distinguishes practice conversations from other types of conversations.

A practice interview may, among other things, cover:

how your practice unfolds
what feels stagnant or challenging
how you work with different aspects of practice
how surroundings, thoughts and relationships affect your immersion
how to navigate and understand deeper or more subtle practice experiences, including dual-directed awareness

The internship interviews generally take place physically at the Growth Center in Nørre Snede, but can also take place online if you and the supervisor agree.

A conversation typically lasts 60-75 minutes and costs DKK 1,000 excl. VAT / DKK 1,250 incl. VAT.*

* 20 % discount for students and young people under 30.

You are welcome to write to us at **@***********on.dk, If you want to hear more about practice interviews, or you can book an appointment here on the page.
