Silence as a conscious event experience

The continuous silence supports the intense engagement with one’s own experiences and opens up space for new perspectives.

The introductory day will be led by Dr. med. Franziska Achatz, head and Zen teacher. The organization is taken care of by the Catholic Educational Institute Traunstein, an established provider of adult education in the district, hosting numerous educational and orientation offerings. The event planning combines expert introduction, practical exercises, and a mindful addressing of the target group.

Conclusion: Time for inner peace

Open Your Heart and Be Serene offers a concentrated introduction to Zen meditation and a special event experience away from the hectic everyday life. Those who engage in silence, walking meditation, and mindful impulses will find a protected setting for calmness and personal reflection in Traunstein.
