☕ The English Language Café and Multi Kulti Collective invite you to a special edition of our idea-exchange series:
✨ Meditation Is Not What You Think! - with Vassilis Xypolias ✨

?  Why join us?
In today’s hyper-informed landscape, meditation is often presented as a technique for “emptying” the mind or escaping stress. The real purpose of meditation though is to get to know our mind better and to bring more presence, openness, and kindness into our lives.

?  What to expect?
This informative and experiential seminar is an invitation to slow down and explore how mindful awareness can shift the way you navigate daily situations, relationships, and life’s challenges. We will look at what meditation really is from the perspectives of contemplative traditions and modern neuroscience, highlight its benefits for mental health and overall wellbeing, and offer practical tips for easily bringing the practice into your daily routine so life starts feeling a little more manageable and… a bit more joyful!

?  Who is your “guide”?
Vassilis Xypolias is a certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher and mindfulness coach at Mindfulness360. His journey with mindfulness began in 2009 and includes professional training programs, international workshops, and formal studies in Buddhist Psychology at Kathmandu University. He is certified to teach the MBSR program through the University of Massachusetts Medical School. In 2015, he founded Mindfulness 360 with the vision of supporting people in cultivating and integrating mindfulness as a path toward healing, change, and personal development.
