From Inner to Societal Change
Translating Science into Practice
One of Tania’s passions is the translation of her scientific and psychological knowledge regarding mental training, personality development and inner work into different sectors of society such as the healthcare, educational or business sectors. When giving workshops, she is keen on finding a good balance between in-depth psycho-biological and neuroscientific teachings and providing enough space for engaging in actual practices designed to induce long-lasting inner transformation towards more emotional wellbeing and better mental and physical health.
Depending on whether the participants ask for the teaching of scientific findings and theoretical knowledge or rather a practical introduction into and experience of the many forms of mental practice, Tania offers different and appropriate formats:
Workshops and Seminars
Silent Retreats
Masterclasses
In-Depth Scientific Teaching
Workshops
Keynotes and talks can only cover so much scientific wisdom and knowledge. Many people and institutions desire a more in-depth and detailed understanding of the scientific findings and intervention programs that can be used to induce plasticity of the social brain. Especially in the context of the ReSource Project, Tania has therefore often been asked to give one-day or multi-day workshops and seminars about the exact nature of such mental training intervention programs and the complex pattern of related findings.
Three Days in Silence
Retreats
Tania has develop and led many silent meditation retreats. In the context of the ReSource Project, for example, more than 200 participants participate in a 3-day silent retreats at the beginning of each training module to familiarise themselves with the daily practices and their theoretical basis. These retreats mostly take place outside of cities in beautiful locations surrounded by nature and lakes.
