Days of silence in the desert

A special Zen experience in Sinai

The desert has always been a place of reflection. The open space and the silence are an invitation to find one’s soul. It is a place to go for inspiration. It is a place to go to change the direction of one’s life. Its barren beauty leads to the simple life. The silence and vastness of the starry nights remind us where we come from and who we really are.
In this special seminar we will stay in the desert for four days and practice Zen meditation a few hours a day. At the end of the seminar we will have the possibility to meet Israelis and Palestinians in Jerusalem and spend two days with them. They will talk to us about what they are doing for mutual understanding between the Palestinians and Israelis. Their commitment in these difficult circumstances is a source of inspiration.
Lectures will be given in German. A summary of the lectures will be provided upon request during interviews. This seminar addresses leaders who wish to deepen their Zen practice at a special place. The prerequisite for this seminar is an introductory course in Zen meditation.
