Shaila Catherine Boeken

    Shaila Catherine is een zeer ervaren meditatie-lerares wier praktijk decennia overspant en een diepgaand begrip van contemplatieve paden omvat. Haar leringen benadrukken de cultivering van concentratie en inzicht, met een specifieke focus op het verkennen van diepe kalme staten en het ontwikkelen van liefdevolle vriendelijkheid (metta). Catherine heeft jaren gewijd aan intensieve stille retraites en heeft gestudeerd bij meesters in India, Nepal en Thailand, waardoor ze inzichten heeft verkregen die ze nu wereldwijd deelt. Haar aanpak is geworteld in uitgebreide persoonlijke beoefening en biedt een rijke bron voor degenen die innerlijke ontwikkeling zoeken.
