Understanding the causes of an active mind
In this workshop we will focus on establishing a living relationship to thoughts and emotions rather than objectifying them as a source of a problem that needs to be corrected.
We will name and understand various causes that prevent the mind from resting and take the time to deeply listen to the emotional world, allowing an emotion to reveal it’s history. This quality of listening naturally brings the mind to a more quiet and content state.
This workshop is for those looking to consciously rebuild and nurture a deeper, more harmonious relationship with themselves.
The workshop came together from noticing many people seeking meditation in order to quiet the mind. The objective is to demonstrate that a self-embracing relationship and deep inner listening is perhaps what is actually being sought after.
Some of the Causes of Mental Activity
- Seeking security: Attempting to resolve fear
- Fear, Urgency and Mental Time (Future)
- Choices and consequences
- Attachments: material, relational
- Image/Persona: Upholding/Repair/Ambition
- Seeking clarity, navigating confusion
- Conflict with an emotion: Suppression/Fragmentation
- Tribal: guilt, shame, obligation
- Holding on to pain in order to receive care
- Energetic entanglement and psychic energies
Emerging of the New Relationship
- Perspective: Self-Improvement as a form of self-inflicted violence
- Developing a living relationship with emotions and discarding of past conditioning / judgements
- Being Seen: Recognizing oneself as a living being
- Preparing the mind-body to hold the emotional depth without resistance
- Allowing an emotion to tell it’s story
- Re-Rooting: Embracing history, returning to life in the body
Our time together will consist of a focused self-inquiry discussions, guidance and plenty of time for inner exploration in the quiet and cozy space of the meditation hall at the Camino Wellness Center.

Your Guide
I aspire to become literate at being human. In early twenties I had a flashback to a childhood memory of being miraculously healed from a chronic illness by a touch of a hand. Years later, my thirst for answers took me out of software engineering and through many books, places, people, countries and experiences, eventually settling down to explore within.
With many years of an in-depth dedication to meditation, self-inquiry/introspection, healing arts, and somatic practices, I continue to probe into the depth of existence. The direction of my work is set on maturing the capacity to sense with discernment into the subtle sheath of psycho-energetic imprints that span across mental, emotional, physical and energetic domains. Further emphasis is placed on the extraordinary psychosomatic relationship between thought and matter.
For over a decade, I have been restoring hearts and sharing my findings via various modalities including developing emotional intelligence, rites of passage work, one-on-one and group self-inquiry sessions, retreats in remote wilderness as well as in the comfort of a meditation center. This work is my labor of deep love and the most sincere blueprint of my individuality.
