Public Walking Meditation: November 29, 2025
Each year on the Saturday before the first Advent Sunday we walk together in silence and peace through the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping streets. In 2024 we walked simultaneously in about 100 cities in 25 countries.
See photos on our website, and a list of contacts for the various cities who participated in case you are interested in joining. Want to organize a walk in your town? Reach out to Kai Romhardt via walking-meditation@achtsame-wirtschaft.de
International Business Retreat: Mindfulness in Sales & Customer Relations
October 15-19, 2025
How might we leverage mindfulness and Buddhist wisdom when we buy and sell, market products and services, engage with customers, pitch clients or employers, and fundraise? Everyone sells something, so everyone is welcome to join us for this in-person retreat at the European Institute for Applied Buddhism (EIAB) in Waldbröl, Germany.
