In addition to the basic price please add CHF 51, US$ 45, pound 23 or Euro 30 for this program.

There may be circumstances in our journey that we would not have chosen. But there is the possibility of cultivating within oneself a way of well-being. In this program we will explore the art of spiritual gardening in which the seeds of the divine qualities are nurtured in oneselves and blossom in our lives.

Attention will be given to Buddhist teachings that tend to the mind and attitude along with the Sufi practice of the alchemy of happiness. Rather than being lost in suffering or denying it, there is the middle way of well-being that can be cultivated. The orientation benefits not only the practitioners but also the world in which they are interconnected.
