Everything is stillness. The ground of your being is silent and sacred space. No problems, conflicts and struggles can ever touch this peace that is within us, before and beyond all our personal stories.

All it takes to remember this truth is a moment of simply being quiet, of dropping all the mental activity and noise…and then to see what is left.

Unfortunately most of us have turned away from this state of simply being, continually running around looking to achieve or get more, in a futile attempt to find fulfilment outside of ourselves. Our modern Western societies encourage and reinforce constant thinking, worrying, consuming and planning. A multitude of distractions often lead us away from the simplicity and beauty of this present moment.

The practices we teach at Mudita are essentially tools that can help us remember and express our true nature- inner freedom and peace. Activities like yoga, meditation or giving and receiving Thai massage encourage us to slow down and settle into the moment so that we can rediscover the silence that is underneath all the habitual mental activity.

In our courses, we always try to create an atmosphere that is focused yet relaxed and fun so that all participants have enough space to unwind, let go of worries and stress, and reconnect with themselves and each other. Beyond all techniques that we teach, this is the real purpose of the classes we offer.

In Buddhism, our ability to wake up out of ignorance into realizing our true nature is represented by the lotus flower.

Just as the lotus flower can grow out of mud into its beautiful form and color, human beings can go beyond suffering and separation and find true freedom and beauty.

OM MANI PADME HUM-  MAY ALL BEINGS BE HAPPY!
