… and let the flower of the life force bloom *
Meditate 7am is a small meditation group, which exists in this form since 2020. At that time, with the beginning of the covid situation, we switched from offline practice in a nice space in Berlin-Kreuzberg 36 to online Zoom Zendo.
The meditation we do is simple and self-explanatory. We sit still in silence. There are some basic instructions considering physical alignment and posture. All we’re going to do is sit, and experience whatever is going on. This means feeling whatever you feel, emotionally or physically, think whatever you think.
The group is led by Malte Holstad. My homebase is Zen practice. Also I’m experienced with different approaches and traditions. I‘m strongly influenced by the approach of practice with no gaining idea. The Alexander Technique and being an artist are contributing to my style. I am experienced in teaching and guiding meditation in different contexts and teaching MBSR courses.
Meditation practice within a group is a great way of being together in an unconditional way. One of those rare, priceless spaces we need so much in this world. With just sitting still, a natural kindness towards yourself and others has the chance to arise.
