Tuesday 29 September: The Price of Freedom by Vajin Armstrong
19:30 – 21:00
What does it mean to be truly free? From a spiritual perspective freedom is much more than being able to do what you like. Despite being outwardly free, many in our modern day and age feel trapped in their own thought patterns and behaviours. Meditation teacher, ultrarunner and podcaster Vajin Armstrong from New Zealand takes a deep look into the concept of inner freedom. His definition: “Freedom is the willingness and the ability to make the sacrifices that are most meaningful to you.”
This evening includes meditation exercises and live music.
Wednesday 30 September: How Your Belief System Shapes Your Life by Vajin Armstrong
19:30 – 21:00
We all have a belief system, whether we are aware of it or not. How we perceive the world has a tremendous impact on our happiness (or lack of it). During this evening we explore the shift from a materialistic to a more spiritual paradigm and the effects meditation and spirituality have on our belief system. Includes meditation exercises and live music.
Thursday 1 October: How Running Benefits Your Meditation Practice by Vajin Armstrong
19:30 – 21:00
From the marathon monks of Japan to the participants in the 3100 Mile Race, running has deep ties with the meditative lifestyle. Elite ultrarunner Vajin Armstrong takes us on a journey through his own running and meditation career, sharing the secrets of improved mental health through physical self-transcendence. Includes meditation exercises and live music.
Friday 2 October: How To Be Spiritual In The Office by Joanna Szopinska
19:30 – 21:00
Business consultant Joanna Szopinksa combines a high-strung tech job at ASML with a deeply spiritual lifestyle. She views her office as a testing ground to practice the lessons she learns on the meditation pillow. Tonight she shares her insights and secrets of how your spiritual practice can positively inform your working life. Includes meditation exercises and live music.
