AT HETTY TONKES CENTER “DE BRON”

More info on “De Bron”

The Retreat will be guided by Mae Chee Brigitte and is based on the development of the four Foundations of Mindfulness.

We will be practicing Meditation in four postures: Walking, Sitting, Standing and Lying.

What is most important in that retreat is - we try to develop mindfulness in all our daily activities. Only this is what the practitioners really can bring to back their life.
