WISDOM TRAINING

Immerse yourself in the enriching world of the WISDOM training. This one-year journey will take you through five modules, including seminars in Greece and Vienna. Experience mindfulness, meditation, investigation and effort in its essence. The training goes beyond just imparting knowledge – it enables personal transformation and empowers you to actively share what you have learned.

Difference to other forms of Buddhism

The difference to religious Buddhism lies primarily in the interpretation of individual teaching content, Buddhist terms and beliefs, such as the doctrine of dependent emergence, the definition of rebirth, enlightenment, ignorance and the methods of Buddhist mental training.

Difference from other methods of mental exercise, such as psychotherapy

WISDOM could be described as Buddhist therapy. However, the focus is not on analyzing personal problems, but rather on recognizing and overcoming them yourself without evaluating and judging them.

The WISDOM training is for you if you:

Already have experience in meditation, mindfulness or yoga.

want to deepen and expand your understanding of a mindful life.

Want to pass on the WISDOM Method.

Develop skills as a meditation & mindfulness teacher.

The training lasts 1 year and extends over five modules, which take place in mixed face-to-face units in Vienna, online units and as self-study.

Module 1: Mindfulness

7 Days Seminar in Greece

Module 2: Finding Inner Peace – The Essence of Mindfulness and Meditation

Module 3: In-depth rest and problem solving

Self-study

For each module, self-study is provided for integration into everyday life. Here, the teaching content provided on our Learn platform is to be worked out independently. We provide you with video lectures, concrete exercises and our WISDOM manual. These documents are included in the module price. As part of the self-study, it is planned to form small groups in the course of the training in order to design courses for yourself and your team. These are accompanied by us and space is offered for them.
