Four Paths to Well-Being and Fulfillment
Finding peace, freedom, fulfillment and connection in a constantly changing world
Fritz Koster
In this Live course we explore four paths or 'signposts' to (spiritual) growth, fulfillment and satisfaction. These paths, known in Buddhist psychology as the four iddhipāda or 'foundations of magical power', include:
- chanda: A deep interest or passion, linked to the desire to realize this.
- Viriya: Dedication and commitment.
- Citta: A positive and beneficial attitude, or a 'positive outlook'.
- Vimamsa: Wisdom and insight.
These qualities are crucial in the practice of meditation and help realize life values. Throughout the course, delivered online via Zoom, we will explore both the value and pitfalls of these guideposts:
- Theory: We approach the four iddhipāda from different perspectives, including Buddhist psychology, contemporary positive psychology, and neuropsychology.
- Practice: The course includes collaborative meditation practice and interpersonal explorations through breakout rooms in Zoom. For participants who do not wish to participate in the interpersonal explorations, there is a writing exercise as an alternative.
- Coherence: We explore how these elements of a successful life are connected.
- Exercise suggestions: Tips and techniques for further developing these qualities in daily life.
The live course offers tools for a life with more inner peace, freedom and a deeper connection with the world around you.
The course 'Four Paths to Wellbeing and Fulfillment' is suitable for anyone looking for depth and meaning in a complex world. Experience with the practice of mindfulness is desirable but not necessary.
This online Live course lasts five weeks with themes and exercises that connect with each other.
There is an online live session every week on Tuesday evenings from 19.30:21.00 PM to ± 21.00:XNUMX PM. We then do exercises together and there is room for exchange. After the live session, from XNUMX p.m., you will have access to the material of the week in question and the practice suggestions. You can read, watch and listen to these at a time of your choosing:
The non-interactive parts (guided exercises and explanations) of the live sessions can be viewed later.
During the course you can share experiences with group members via the start page and week pages. If necessary, you can email the supervisor for personal questions.
The live sessions are on Tuesdays from 19.30:21.00 PM to approximately XNUMX:XNUMX PM:
