Kasper Meulesteen
In 2009 I came into contact with Buddhist meditation. 'Every step is peace' by Thich Nhat Hanh was the first Buddhist book I read. I then noticed that the daily and global challenges demanded a lot from me. I wanted to understand this and be free from it. I was curious and traveled through Europe, South America, Africa and Asia. During my travels and during my studies, I worked in eco- and monastic communities and spent many months in Buddhist monasteries and meditation centers. The silence, nature, simplicity, softness and generosity touched me.
Discovering and sharing softness, understanding and playfulness in this world is the essence of the practice for me. Softening reactivity, developing understanding and compassionate action are an intrinsic part of this. Every action has meaning for me.
About thirteen years after reading 'Every step is peace' I graduated on the theme of Buddhist walking meditation. I currently work as a spiritual counselor and ethicist in the hospital in Eindhoven and Venlo. I guide patients, families, loved ones and healthcare professionals in the hospital with existential and ethical issues and questions. I also supervise meditations and mindfulness training for both patients and hospital employees.
Kasper has been trained by Ajahn Amaro, Christopher Titmuss and Upul Nishantha Gamage, among others.
